I did watch yesterday the few episodes which are aired from the TV series Marshall's.
Well as action series it is acceptable more or less. But it was grave mistake to put into two girls as "commando" who by their performance failed to ever attend even at an airsoft game. In the US it is not that hard to find girls who actually ok with guns.

The recurring actors from the Yellowstone series deliver their performance at least.

But it seems like screenwriters changed much, so the series mood is different than Yellowstone, more like a failed attempt to reproduce something other than the setting/ ascetics. - @sjbabilon5

It's a Taylor Sheridan effort just like Yellowstone was. There was some intrigue such as the Dead Zone in Wyoming. That was interesting - shows that Kayce will cut corners like his Dad. He's out for himself, and has an agenda with the Chairman. Blood is thicker than water. He's not blindly loyal to the Marshals.

I haven't tried Madison yet. Looks a bit too much like romantic drama to me without enough action..

There's supposed to be a follow on show from Yellowstone called Ranch 6666 or something. Spin off. Not seen or heard about it recently.

Yellowstone ended because they couldn't agree terms with Kevin Costner for a follow on season.

Well Yellowstone ended all right, not rushed.

Ranch 6666: did not heard about that plan.

There are 1883, and 1923 series as existing spin offs, actually past history. In mood closer than Marshalls, even as obviously cannot share cast.

The curse of spin offs that it is very rare when any can stand up in quality, mood for the original.

Among the few exception: Spartacus - Blood and sand

Also more like pre-history/ prequel.

Lead actor died (who play Spartacus), so they made a prequel instead to continue the series at first.

Later did continue the series with a different actor at main role and result was good.

The recent spin off not even worth to test out for a single episode: House of Ashur. They just ruined another "brand".

You mean House of Usher. I started it and didn't finish. Got bored.

You mean Kirk Douglas (Spartacus). He was like 90+ when he died. It's a great film and he was a great actor but of a different age.

If you remember or saw all of Yellowstone, you'll remember the guy with the smashed up hips/legs with the improbably attractive GF who was sent to a West Texas ranch to learn to be a cowboy based on his rehabilitation.

That was supposed to be a spin off - forgot the name Ranch 6666 or Four-Sixes or something or other. There's a reference to the backdoor pilot. It's also connected to Landman.

The character at the centre of it was Jimmy Hurdstrom.

The Yellowstone 1944 proposed series might be a substitute for 6666.
