Lioness season 3 is Taylor Sheridan's most scathing, brutal, and AI-wary outing yet — but the new Paramount+ series is still making sure that the Yellowstone creator is the action hero of the hour
TechRadar Verdict Lioness has always been the weakest Taylor Sheridan series in my eyes, and ranking doesn't change with season 3. However, new episodes have definitely upped the dramatic ante, with episode 2 containing the most brutal scene I've seen to date. As far as Taylor Sheridan shows are concerned, nothing is topping Landman.
