What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Madison may not be an all-inclusive stay, but it offers a top-tier Michelle Pfeiffer, beautiful East Coast locations, and an expansion of the Taylor Sheridan universe, which is satisfying enough.

Yes, these women are ridiculous, as many of Sheridan’s women are. But, after so many seasons of the rich Duttons playing country on their show, there is something purifying about the divisions Sheridan sets out to explore in The Madison. Go to Full Review David Bianculli NPR Mar 30
Some scenes and concepts in The Madison are absurd in the extreme, like the idea that the streets of New York are more dangerous than any wild west. But there also are moments of true beauty and calm. Go to Full Review Peter Travers The Travers Take Mar 20
2/4
Michelle Pfeiffer enters the Taylor Sheridan universe in stellar form even when he sinks her in a Montana vs Manhattan grudge match that’ll bore you breathless. Go to Full Review Kyle Wolfe Pop Culture Leftovers May 30
Rather than relying on the explosive confrontations that often define Sheridan’s larger universe, The Madison finds its power in quieter, more introspective moments. Go to Full Review Julia Swift My Champlain Valley May 23
4/10
The female characters are very whiney and they only care about money and looks. Taylor Sheridan is so talented but seems to have a block when it comes to writing female characters with any kind of depth. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review May 16
“The Madison” moves at the snail’s pace of Sheridan’s “1923” -- and the music score sometimes sounds nearly identical -- but “The Madison” also borrows some of the humor that’s made Sheridan’s “Landman” a hit. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kimberley S @RT05656830 Jun 15 Loved it. Although sad, the emotion of the characters were heartfelt. The scenery was breathtaking. Michelle Pfeiffer was beautiful and did not disappoint. See more Max D. @RT46078524 Jun 11 While not his typical type of show. It kept me entertained and wanting to see more. Definitely more of a emotional drama than his other shows but I give it 5 stars for what it is. See more Nina K @Nina678 Jun 11 The Madison is very boring a true Hallmark one to avoid. See more Karthik Y. @madkarthi Jun 10 It is a mid story altogether but it features absolutely stunning beautiful cinematography. The Montana landscapes are completely fantastic on screen and I really enjoyed the overall moody vibe of the series. The show manages to balance a bit of a funny tone while a deep& painful grief goes throughout the family narrative. ​I completely agree with you on the renewal part.I don't know why this was already renewed for season 2. Since the first season wraps up the story well enough. a second season doesn't feel needed at all. It works perfectly fine as a standalone thing. See more Debbie R @Debrus Jun 10 For my tastes it is just painfully awful, but it has good ratings so I guess it is just really really not my thing. I would rather stare at the ceiling for an hour. See more Markus W @thx1989 May 27 It’s painful to watch just how shallow and stereotypical these characters are (despite all the beautiful cinematic gloss). Taylor Sheridan has clearly run out of steam here. I’ll pass on this show in favor of the far superior Dutton Ranch sequel, where fresh creative leadership brought a new perspective and kept what made Yellowstone so great. See more Read all reviews
