"Review: 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' Fails to Do Justice to the Legendary Black Lawman"

"Lawmen: Bass Reeves," the latest series from Taylor Sheridan, fails to impress with its formulaic and rushed storytelling. The show, set in the Taylor Sheridan Television Universe, lacks depth and fails to engage with the nuanced conflicts faced by its protagonist, Bass Reeves, the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi River. Despite committed performances, the series trots through perfunctory investigations and fails to deliver on its revisionist western premise. "Lawmen: Bass Reeves" lacks the inquisitive case study that its historical figure deserves.
