The streaming platform has delved into the world of Western shows, with its latest series in the genre.
Western shows are experiencing a resurgence in popularity, particularly on television and streaming platforms.
The series Yellowstone has been immensely popular and held the record for the most-watched TV show in 2022, and Netflix’s latest series has been compared to it.
The Western drama has been praised by viewers, who have taken to social media to discuss it.
One person writes: “LOVED this show! best of the year no doubt!!”
“This stands out as a genuinely heartfelt and well-written addition to Netflix’s lineup of dramas,” somebody else says. “The show’s strength lies in its authentic portrayal of small-town life, capturing the spirit and struggles of ranching families with sincerity and depth.”
A third user comments: “Romance, mystery, secrets, handsome cowboys, beautiful scenery, great chemistry, lots to love here! I am impressed!”
“Great show so far! I loved Yellowstone, and I know some people think, “Well, we already have Yellowstone, did we need another show like it?” My answer is yes!” a fourth penns.
A fifth adds: “Wow!!! For me to finish all 10 episodes in a day is saying something. Love how this series has more than one ‘basic’ storyline. I cannot wait for Season 2!!!”
Critics agree the show is a must-see. Aramide Tinubu reviewed for Variety: “Beautifully shot and boasting a stunning cast, it’s a sexy, predictable, breezy viewing experience that delivers on its promise.”
The show is rated 6.8/10 on IMDb and has a 75% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The steamy Western show is created by April Blair, who also co-wrote the popular film Monte Carlo, which stars Selena Gomez.
“Old Westerns did have a romance and drama to them, so it leans into a more bygone era Western.”
