Reply to comment by AashyLarry in Three of the very biggest shows on right now (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian and Yellowstone) are western inspired by RusevReigns
They ride horses.
But to defend the point, western genre is about the struggle against a frontier without a justice system, with disjointed or no support of authoritative body, hostile locals, tryically set in the American West which is usually depicted as hostile difficult to live off of land.
Yellowstone is not a western, I think.
Mandalorian and Last of Us would be I think.

you could say that about any post-apocalyptic media.

I agree Yellowstone may actually be the least western, it's more of a mob show at heart and appealed to the people watching Godfather reruns on the former Spike TV. But it still has a lot of horsey and cowboy hat guys so I think it's still a bit of a western.
