"For the past couple years I’ve been trying to “flatten” my work so that the digital images, 35mm or 120 film images, AND the Polaroids all feel the same."
- Good luck with that! Trying to narrow down so much noise of capability would be a feat. I hope to catch wind of what you did.
This made me smile, Will, I, too, have gotten hooked on Landman. Is it a guilty pleasure? I don't even know. It's not a good show, but I agree that Billy Bob Thorton is fun to watch and compelling as hell, even if some of his dialogue is over-the-top corny. I described the awful way these women are written on the show to my wife the other day. It's hard to say why I kept watching this season, and there isn't much critical commentary about this show that I've seen yet. But your piece kind of nails it. It is like jazz. It doesn't make sense, and it's not always pleasing to the ear. But you can't turn it off. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the piece, Andy! Taylor Sheridan is an auteur in his own way -There’s something very personal in how he writes his shows for better or worse. I don’t know if we’d notice it if it weren’t for all the algorithmic or data driven creations that are put in front of us constantly, so there’s something strangely refreshing about what he does. Even though I find most of it kinda bad 😂
I just don’t think it does a good job at telling a cohesive story. I have all the same complaints I have with Landman except I don’t find any of the characters likable in the slightest. Landman has some charisma at least

"...but I find Yellowstone to be mostly terrible."
• I Loooove Yellowstone. Maybe I knew what it was or you knew what it could be.
• Please tell me, what where your expectations/rubric that caused you to think it's "mostly terrible"?
