Seems like Jessica Chastain is trying to corner the market on Tammy roles.

Thanks to you we are watching The English. Wonderful wife is a bit 'ehhh?', but she loves horses and the western landscapes (she's crazy about Yellowstone).

I really like Emily Blunt-she's a reason to watch ANYTHING. Spenser Chaske is outstanding.

Two more episodes to go. Revenge is always a great plot driver.

For a western, there is no better motivation than revenge. The last two eps? Oh hell. Can't wait for you to get through it.

My better half has roped me into watching Yellowstone, and after seeing about, oh I don't know, 647 million ads for this, I was turned off. Knowing that Walton Goggins & Michael Shannon are in it? That gets it back in the running.

Shannon might not look like Jones, but he's far enough from Walt Thrombey territory that I didn't know it was him until reading this.

Again, this is a correct response, the only one I'll allow amongst right thinking people. Goggins is a national treasure, and Michael Shannon is one of the most interesting actors to watch, ever, period. I was never a George Jones fan (respected, sure, but not someone I'd reach out for in times of crisis like Willie Nelson), but it's these actors that will save the day on this project. Guaranteed.

I’m not much of a country music guy but even I know George Jones is cool. (Thanks, Elvis Costello!)

Frankly, I’ll watch anything Walton Goggins turns up in, anyway.

Like any right-thinking person would, if we’re being honest.
