Shows Like Yellowstone, Ranked by IQ Score
Modern Westerns about land, family, and the cost of holding territory. Ranked by IQ Score.
Yellowstone scores 101/200 (Competent tier), and audiences who love it typically respond to its specific structural commitments: modern-American-West class architecture, family-as-institutional-territory, and slow-burn character work over genre payoff. These titles operate inside the same register.
Anchor picks: Deadwood (179) is the canonical 19th-century-Western prestige drama Yellowstone descends from. Landman (Taylor Sheridan's industry-set spin) treats West-Texas-oil cognitive material at register Yellowstone fans recognize. Justified is the canonical Elmore Leonard rural-cop drama.
