10 Best Western TV Shows, Ranked

Shows following the lives of cowboys, ranchers, bounty hunters, and cattle drivers have entertained viewers for decades and show no signs of slowing down. The Old West is an era that is fascinating to watch shows about, as it feels far removed from the present. Although there are issues to raise about the romanticization of the Old West, the genre stands strong.
