The CBS Yellowstone<\/a> spinoff, Marshals, is a sprawling procedural. While entertaining, it needs more time to earn the brand, the red-hot Y variety that graduates into a frontier ethos of a cowboy in the modern world. Instead of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday\u2019s Colt Single Action Army, Kayce Dutton carries a variety of modern tactical carbines.<\/p>\n

The neo-Western<\/a> has its moments, but it depends heavily on your enjoyment of the lead character and the rugged, masculine backdrop that tells classic, modern-day frontier stories. However, one thing is certain: Marshals allows a character from Yellowstone that was lost in the shuffle to breathe and stand on his own. A worthy reclamation for Kayce and the indelible franchise.<\/p>\n

After the Dutton family tragedy, Kayce (Luke Grimes) returned his family\u2019s land to Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and the Broken Rock Reservation. While keeping a small lot of land for himself, he is recruited by his old commander, Pete Calvin (Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/a>\u2019s Logan Marshall-Green), a former Navy SEAL working in Montana.<\/p>\n

Pete is heading a team for the U.S. Marshall, working for Harry Gilford (Lost\u2019s Brett Cullen). Kayce turns them down, but serves as their guide through the treacherous terrain, tracking potential domestic terrorists. Then, when a bomb goes off, injuring a high-ranking member of Broken Rock\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Of course, even though the team is made up of Miles, a tenacious rookie (Killers of the Flower Moon<\/a>\u2018s Tatanka Means), Belle (Arielle Kebbel from the After franchise), a former ATF agent with something to prove, and Andrea Cruz (American Horror Story\u2019s Ash Santos), Kayce decides he has something to prove, joining the team, to protect the land he calls home.<\/p>\n

CBS\u2019s Marshals Review<\/p>\n

The trail leads to a dangerous encounter with an armed anti-government militia on the series premiere of MARSHALS, Sunday, March 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET\/PT). Pictured: Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton.

You\u2019ll notice almost immediately that Marshals is different from any other Taylor Sheridan\u2013produced series. For one, he doesn\u2019t write a single episode of this Yellowstone <\/a>spinoff, a first in the franchise\u2019s rich history. Sure, the theme of land as religion is still there, as well as mythic masculinity, moral ambiguity, and the use of space and silence to carry a scene or two.<\/p>\n

Sheridan writes without the need for exposition. He is the opposite of Aaron Sorkin; there\u2019s no impulse to fill pages with every thought, instead relying on the power of economical dialogue. His writing crackles with a slow burn, aphoristic, almost biblical, sharpened by an unmistakable wit. This chapter of Yellowstone, however, feels more like \u201cMarshal Country,\u201d a procedural.<\/p>\n

However, there is something liberating about the new series, unshackled from the Dutton family legacy, as Kayce blazes a new path. Of course, there are references, especially in the pilot, to remind core fans to stick with this latest iteration. The show is overtly masculine, sprawling, and engrossing, pulling viewers into the action within the first few minutes.<\/p>\n

Is CBS\u2019s Marshals worth watching?<\/p>\n

\"3101244\u201cPiya Wiconi\u201d \u2014 Kayce Dutton reunites with an old SEAL teammate and aids his Marshal unit in hunting down a bomber targeting Broken Rock Reservation.

Photo: Fred Hayes\/CBS ??2025 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n

The show begins to find its Yellowstone before it, holstering the formula that made the franchise of shows great. However, Grimes keeps the show from straying too far. He brings magnetism, strength, and rare vulnerability to a network show, along with confident action, making the pilot suspenseful and riveting enough to recommend through the first handful of chapters. <\/p>\n

Ultimately, Marshals<\/a> is worth watching for fans of procedurals and the Sheridan noteworthy franchise. However, with only three episodes, it is hard to stick your neck out for a show that rarely takes risks, especially if they stick to the CBS formula. Sheridan has managed to juggle the best of both worlds. However, we have yet to see if it lives up to the legend or is a cheap knockoff.<\/p>\n

You can watch Marshals on CBS starting March 1st and stream on Paramount+ the next day. The first three episodes were screened for critics. <\/p>\n
