First mentioned here:


Update:

"One of these days, we’re all going to look up, only to find that every single actor of a certain age in Hollywood has vanished—whisked away to a magical land called Montana, where Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan pays them to run and laugh and play and pretend to shoot each other for all the live-long day. Kevin Costner is there; so is Helen Mirren. Sam Elliott? He’s just having a grand old time, hanging out with Harrison Ford and Danny Huston and all the horses you can eat. And now, Deadline reports, Dennis Quaid has gotten the call: The Strange World star has signed on to appear in Sheridan’s The Bass Reeves Story, a spin-off of 1883, itself a spin-off of the mothership Yellowstone series—which means we’re well and truly into All In The Family begets Maude begets Good Times territory here, folks.

Anyway: Quaid has signed on for a starring role in Bass Reeves, which was announced last year, and which will star David Oyelowo as the title character—a real-life U.S. Marshall who was one of the first Black lawmen to operate in the United States west of the Mississippi. (It’s not hard to see why Sheridan was drawn to Reeves, by the by; with more than 3000 arrests to his name—including, in a bit of drama worthy of Yellowstone, his own son, on charges of murdering his wife—Reeves is a larger than life figure of 19th century history.)

Oyelowo was attached to the project last May. Now Quaid has signed on, playing a fellow Deputy U.S. Marshall. (A non-historical one, as far as we can tell.) He comes to the series after an increasing focus on TV in recent years; other small-screen credits of late include Goliath, Netflix’s Merry Happy Whatever, and Amazon Prime’s Fortitude. It’s not clear when Bass Reeves is likely to start filming, although when it does arrive, it’ll almost certainly appear as part of Sheridan’s ever-expanding universe of shows on Paramount+."

Not bad so far. Bit of a slow start, but these first 2 episodes are just to set everything up mostly. I think the show should really be kicking in next week. But I enjoyed it and will continue. Kinda made me wanna go boot up red dead redemption 2 :ROFLMAO:

Do you have like four TV’s all playing at the same time to watch all these shows at once?

Like, where do you get the time to watch all of these?

watched ep 5 earlier tonight. I am liking this show, but anyone looking for a deep plot should probably look elsewhere :ROFLMAO: Sheridan really is leaning hard into the "weekly serial" style show of "What's Bass up to THIS week??"
