I haven't really grokked any of his shows. I get he's popular but it just doesn't do it for me

I adored Yellowstone. Scicario is superb, Wind River is very good and Hell or High Water is one of my favourite films of the 21st Century.

I think he's a very good writer and a solid director. I do wonder if success hasn't gone to his head a little but he wouldn't be the first person that complaint could be levelled against and I doubt he'll be the last.

My guess is NBC is looking towards the end of the Dick Wolfe era and want to build up a staple of shows to replace the L&O and Chicago franchise.

It's going to go on into eternity.

SVU has been on for SO long, the original L&O was cancelled and rebooted during SVU's run!

They are two very different styles of show though, if Yellowstone and its prequels and Sons of Anarchy are any indication, compared to franchise TV like L&O.
