Sheridan has been on my auto watch list for a while. Sicario and Wind River, to some degree Yellowstone, have all been exceptional. This, however, is pretty flawless. This feels like Lonesome Dove (the novel, never saw the adaptations) only with a female narrator that leans on some nature writing that feels like Annie Dillard. The combination is entrancing.
Sheridan has really outdone himself with this script. But the actors also are just flawless. Who would have thought Tim McGraw and Faith Hill could put out performances like this. It has the air of a production where everything knew they were making something exceptional and gave a signature effort toward it. The cinematography, small, side parts, the directing, the costuming, set design, locations-it is all perfect. This is a masterpiece and is going up there as an all time favourite TV show.
