My mind is actually blown that Taylor Sheridan wrote Sicario. I had no idea!

Hell or High Water was fantastic (Comanche references galore), Wind River was exceptionally brutal but I very much enjoyed that too, Mad Max endings never get old.

I think the best thing I've ever seen that he's been involved in is 1883. In parts, Yellowstone got a little too much like Tony Soprano in a cowboy hat to me. But 1883 was just exceptional at the depicting the harsh realities of frontier living. Or should that be frontier dying?

Just started 1883. Love the first episode. Big fan of that period.

Then I strongly recommend 'Empire of the Summer Moon' by SC Gwynne.

It's all about the Comanche, but it also tells the story of the Parker family, but particularly Cynthia Ann.

I won't spoil anything, but it really makes you wonder why someone hasn't made a movie fully dedicated to her and her family's story. It's absolutely riveting.
