'Yellowstone' gives its most boring character a spinoff with 'Marshals': review

Premiering Sunday, March 1 on CBS (8 p.m.) and Paramount+, "Marshals" follows Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) as he joins a team of US Marshals led by his old pal, Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green). The new series blends Kayce’s cowboy skills with his military background and serves as the first spinoff from the hit drama "Yellowstone." The main problem plaguing "Marshals" is that it exists because "Yellowstone" was a hit, not because Kayce is a riveting character.

He was always the most boring member of the Dutton family, and the show leans on Marshall-Green’s charisma and a broader ensemble — including Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means) — to carry it. "Marshals" revisits "Yellowstone" themes such as corporate greed threatening the environment and issues involving the local Native American reservation, and it features familiar faces like Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and Mo (Mo Brings Plenty).
