If you enjoyed the rugged drama of Taylor Sheridan’s *The Madison*, these 15 series offer comparable narratives of frontier justice, family conflict, and high-stakes survival.
*Yellowstone* serves as the obvious companion, sharing Sheridan’s signature blend of family dynasty battles and modern western tension. Its prequel, *1883*, provides a raw, historical look at the hardships of westward expansion.
For contemporary crime in rural settings, *Justified* delivers sharp dialogue and moral complexity in Appalachian Kentucky. *Longmire* explores similar themes through a Wyoming sheriff seeking justice while grappling with personal demons.
Series like *Ozark* and *Breaking Bad* mirror the descent into a criminal underworld to protect one’s family, though set far from the ranch. *Sons of Anarchy* examines the codes and violence of a tightly-knit, law-bending community.
Fans of the land dispute and political maneuvering will find resonance in *Succession*, which trades cattle for corporate boardrooms. *The Son* and *Hatfields & McCoys* delve into multi-generational family feuds and the brutal cost of legacy.
For those drawn to the show’s atmospheric setting, *Hell on Wheels* chronicles the brutal construction of the transcontinental railroad, while *Godless* offers a gripping, limited-series tale of a town ruled by women.
Rounding out the list, *Wind River* and *Sicario*—though films—are essential viewing for their Sheridan-penned stories of crime and justice in harsh, unforgiving landscapes.
