The Most Controversial Show On TV Right Now Isn't Violent Or Explicit. It Just Shows A Good Marriage.
The show builds the case over 6 slow yet beautiful episodes that high-rise concrete jungle living is hollow and marriage is worth honoring above all else. No wonder TV critics don't know what to do with it.
The setup of Taylor Sheridan's newest series, The Madison, is both brilliant and heartbreaking, to say the least. Stacy Clyburn (Michelle Pfeiffer) is an obscenely wealthy woman living in Manhattan, married to Preston Clyburn (Kurt Russell), her teenage romance. Right out of the gate in episode one, we’re met with Preston and his brother Paul dying in a plane crash. The Clyburn clan of women travel to the Madison River Valley to handle the devastating aftermath. True city rats (as Stacy calls herself) scurry to the open land to experience Preston's most prized possession: his land.
