Returning to a story I waylaid last week in order to write about Sydney Sweeney about everyone's favorite questionable creator: Taylor Sheridan. Otherwise known as the man who fascinates and frustrates me in equal measure. The debut of Landman season 2 last week marked what is looking to be the end of an era for Sheridan. No, not the end of all his shows, but the end of his relationship with Paramount. It was announced back at the end of October that Sheridan would be leaving Paramount's mountains–the place that's given all his work a home–for a peacock, specifically NBCUniversal.
