Every streamer is now looking for its own Yellowstone, but has Netflix finally found theirs with the new warring Western drama, The

Abandons? The reviews for the series, which is now available to stream on Netflix, have started to emerge, with enough being counted to give the new show a Rotten Tomatoes score.

The Abandons debuted with a score of 50% on Rotten Tomatoes (it’s now fallen to a shocking 29%), with the first reactions being split right down the middle. “It’s easy to imagine a more entertaining version of The Abandons where Headey and Anderson really get to cook, but

Similarly, Collider’s Carly Lane found a lot to criticise, especially in the wake of original creator Kurt Sutter’s sudden departure, awarding the Western series a pitiful 4/10 and concluding…

Thankfully, things aren’t all bad, and there were those who enjoyed a lot of what The Abandons brings to the Western drama table. While far from perfect, Katie Doll of CBR felt The Abandons has “a slight edge that lets its story blossom over seven episodes,” but added “there are still underlying problems poisoning the roots.” Karina Adelgaard of Heaven of Horror heaped praise on Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson, saying that they alone “make The Abandons worth watching.” Finally, Sara Clements Next Best Picture gave the series what is by far the best review so far, saying…

Created by The Shield and Sons of Anarchy’s Kurt Sutter (who left the series just before the show wrapped over those ominous “creative differences”), The Abandons stars Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson alongside Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Aisling Franciosi, Lucas Till, Lamar Johnson, and Natalia del Riego. The Abandons is now streaming on Netflix, and while it may not reach the heights of Yellowstone, it’s still sure to give you that Western fix you so crave.
