A visual treat with genuine heart, "Marshals" is enough of a crime procedural to appeal to viewers who enjoy a complete story told in 60 minutes, while also remaining prestigious enough to satisfy "Yellowstone" fans who might not typically watch a show like, say, "S.W.A.T." or "NCIS."

Luke Grimes is up to the challenge of leading a Yellowstone spin-off as Kayce Dutton, as Marshals inserts his character and all that family lore into an action-procedural, very familiar CBS-type series.

Paint-by-numbers show, full of beautiful actors and actresses wearing black tactical gear and shooting weapons at crooks.

Marshals is basically just “Montana 5-O."

It’s sturdy, accessible storytelling, if rarely surprising.

Mostly boilerplate CBS procedural but at least the horses look great.

For existing franchise fans, the show’s indebtedness to its predecessor might be more feature than bug, since it positions Kayce’s story as the next chapter in an ongoing saga. For novices like myself, it’s alienating. If you’ve managed to avoid caring about the Duttons up to this point, Marshals offers no persuasive reason to start now.
