Shows that feel likeYellowstone (2018–2024)
If you loved Yellowstone, the closest series we have are 1923 (2022), 1883 (2021) and Justified (2010). All three share Yellowstone's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Godless (2017).
If Yellowstone hit the spot, these will too
One family and one stretch of land, defended a century earlier
The difference: Period hardship on a shorter run — history's weight over modern power plays
The cost of claiming land, paid by one family and told with reverence
The difference: A single closed season of frontier trek — no dynasty machinery
Rural power and violence settled well outside the law
The difference: Wry and light on its feet, one marshal at the centre
Big-sky western space with violence arriving from outside the town
The difference: A tight limited series — one standoff, no boardrooms, no succession fight
An old-school patriarch imposing his rules on territory he claims
The difference: Wisecracking crime comedy — far lighter, and no land worth dying for
A dynasty defending its territory by methods it will not discuss
The difference: London crime families; no land, no cowboys
Long patient scenes that let menace gather without hurrying anything
The difference: Clinical FBI procedural — indoors, cerebral, no landscape and no family
Territory, corruption and men who treat violence as basic business
The difference: True-crime cartel history with narration — no domestic drama to sit in
A family dragged into crime and hardened by the work of protecting itself
The difference: Money laundering and cold blue tension — no cowboy code, no wide country
Understated, gritty realism about damage nobody is in a hurry to fix
The difference: An eight-episode true-crime story — no dynasty, no violence as business
