Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Sicario’ Has Nothing on Apple TV’s Criminally Overlooked 10-Part Thriller

In 2015, Sicariotook theaters by storm, impressing audiences just as much with its gritty shootouts and moral ambiguity as it did with its star-studded cast. Most of that can be attributed to Denis Villeneuve's intense direction, but Taylor Sheridan's scriptalso helps. Sheridan's willingness to delve into the darker side of the war against drugs, combined with a cast of compelling characters, helped lay the groundwork for his later work in television. Sicario continues to dominate across streaming services, but there's a television series on Apple TV that outstrips it in terms of grittiness and moral complexity.
