The "Yellowstone" fans are very excited with "Dutton Ranch." The new "Yellowstone" spinoff from Taylor Sheridan premiered May 15 on Paramount+ after receiving a deafening amount of hype. "Dutton Ranch" follows Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) from Montana for a fresh start in Texas. The first two episodes were electric, and set the stage for an epic season. Ed Harris and Annette Bening are also major members of the series. The former might be the best part through the episodes released so far. TAYLOR SHERIDAN SHOCKS 'YELLOWSTONE' FANS WITH NEW SPINOFF SERIES, PROVIDES VIEWERS WITH DARK RIDE Now, as we've discussed many times, "Marshals" unfortunately turned into a massive disappointment and dud. There are likely many reasons why, and arguably the biggest is the fact it airs on network TV on CBS. "Dutton Ranch" doesn't have that issue. The early reactions from fans have been electric. The show holds an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of publication in the Tomatometer score and a 78% rating in the Popcornmeter. Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser, navigates a new life in Texas in "Dutton Ranch," where the character’s loyalty and old-school values are put to the test.

The series definitely feels like another season of the original saga over a spinoff. Clearly, fans are loving what they've received so far, and I can't recommend it enough. Are you already watching?
