What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Madison may not be an all-inclusive stay, but it offers a top-tier Michelle Pfeiffer, beautiful East Coast locations, and an expansion of the Taylor Sheridan universe, which is satisfying enough.

Michelle Pfeiffer enters the Taylor Sheridan universe in stellar form even when he sinks her in a Montana vs Manhattan grudge match that’ll bore you breathless. Go to Full Review

The storytelling is a kind of magical realism for traditional conservatives. Go to Full Review

A languid meditation on retirement stuffed with cloying aphorisms and thuddingly simplistic depictions of grief. Go to Full Review

9/10
This is a touching drama that will hit you emotionally and gut-wrenchingly, but will also leave you wanting to take stock of your own family and relationships. Go to Full Review
Tim Stevens The Spool Mar 18
If you are capable of this kind of insight and this level of empathy, it becomes a choice not to apply it to all your characters and locations. And that’s an ugly choice to make. Go to Full Review

It’s patronizing as hell, but Sheridan knows exactly who he’s making this for. And they’re going to eat it up -- hell, even I got a little misty, while fully acknowledging that it’s patronizing nonsense. Go to Full Review

Mike G @Germs 30m Great new show, beautiful scenery except for that armpit New York. See more Dylan B. @RT57691106 13h Series knows how to make you cry and then laugh hysterically in a one-two punch. Wouldn't recommend for those that don't like sappy stuff but its not all sap See more laura D @RT55970075 16h Can't recommend. Fast forwarded through most episodes just to see the ending. Idk why everyone thinks it's great. Goppy Goppy Goppy !! See more Virginia M @RT69446167 18h If there was a way to give negative 10 Stars I would do it. The entire storyline is blindingly simplistic. The main characters make insanely stupid decisions based on who knows what. So disappointed with the amazing cast that is in this show that Sheridan shows to write a pedantic stupid screenplay that turns women into blithering idiots. I'm really sick and tired of watching women portrayed as nothing more than pretty sexual beings. The only you're demon characteristic of this is a beautiful cinematography of Wyoming. Again it is not enough to carry pathetically superficial stupid story. See more Greg C. @gchavez3 19h Great show. It took me a few episodes to start liking it but once that one episode caught my attention i was hooked. Just wish it was more than 6 episodes. See more DMC M @Dee1957 20h I was full of hope until I got as far as halfway through episode 3 and had to quit - it was making me gag. What a waste of talent. See more Read all reviews
