The Madison, Taylor Sheridan’s latest western drama, has received lukewarm reviews as critics highlighted thin storylines, a simplistic depiction of grief and cartoonish presentations of life in New York.
The series, which was originally expected to be a direct sequel to Sheridan’s hit ranching show Yellowstone but is now being treated as a standalone series, stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, a grieving New Yorker who relocates her family to the Madison River valley of central Montana after an unexpected death.
