The first few seasons are good enough. Unfortunately the producers are now using it to advertise their spinoffs and a horse ranch they bought with some investors called the 6's. It seemed like every single season 4 episode had an overly long montage of cowboys doing quick stops and in place 360's on their horses as if it's the coolest thing one could ever do. I forced myself to finish the season hoping for a playoff that never came. They need to stop trying to glorify the horse riding competitions. Making a horse stop quickly is not that visually cool after the third time, let alone the fiftieth.

To be fair, 1883 was actually really solid with a good cast and a great story. I'm kind of looking forward to 1923 too. Harrison Ford, Timothy Dalton, and Robert Patrick? Yes please.

Agreed with the rest of your comment. I feel like most of the rodeo stuff is nothing but masterbatory filler on Taylor Sheridan's part.

I was looking forward to 1883, but got turned off by season 4. I might have to give it a try, but I'm not hopeful that the spinoffs won't also jump the shark after a few seasons. There's another spinoff named '6666' which will hopefully take all the worst stuff and contain it to a single show. Masterbatory filler is the correct description. I'd love to see a count of how many quick stops we saw last season. It probably hit triple digits.
