At the very start of1923, the latest chapter inTaylor Sheridan’s big, boldYellowstonenarrative,Helen Mirren, rifle in hand, is chasing a man through the woods.
She ends up shooting him in what appears to be self-defense, then she looks up to the sky and howls. It’s a keen dramatic moment, made even better when you notice that the color of Mirren’s skirt and jacket is cerulean blue.
The rare western that might earn the approval ofThe Devil Wears Prada’s Miranda Priestly,1923should engrossYellowstonefans too.

That sounds like the spirit of Hemingway coming through at a séance, but it does set a tone. On the other hand, you might be surprised to hear someone use the phrase “a leopard the size of a sofa.”

Mirren andHarrison Fordare well matched as the new Dutton power players, Cara and Jacob. She’s crisply dutiful, resourceful but appealing, while he often has the expression of a man whose egg order keeps coming out wrong.
Who’s to say that isn’t historically accurate?
