‘The Madison’ Cast Reveals Their Favorite Taylor Sheridan Shows—And One Clear Winner Emerged
From period dramas to action-packed thrillers, these stars shared what they're binge-watching
If you’re a fan of Taylor Sheridan’s sprawling television universe, you’re in good company. The cast of The Madison sat down exclusively with Woman’s World to share which Sheridan shows they love most, and their answers might just inspire your next binge-watch. One title came up again and again — but a few surprises rounded out the list, too.
The period dramas stole the most hearts
Four of the six The Madison cast members pointed to 1923 as a standout, and each had her (or his) own reasons for loving it.
Beau Garrett was drawn to its emotional depth: “I really love 1923. I just really thought it was so romantic and so hard to watch and so beautiful.”
That push and pull Garrett describes, between romance and brutality, between gorgeous imagery and gut-wrenching storytelling, seems to be the show’s defining pull. Rebecca Spence agreed with the pick, though her reason was more personal: “1923. I’m such a Helen Mirren, so there’s a special place in my heart for that show.”
Danielle Vasinova had a connection to the project and still couldn’t contain her enthusiasm for the production: “I have to say 1923 just because I was a part of it. I love Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, they’re legends. And it was just shot so beautifully and so cinematically.”
When working actors single out a show’s craft alongside its performances, that tells you something about the ambition behind it. Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford clearly left an impression across the board, with both Spence and Vasinova calling out Mirren by name.
Ben Schnetzer leaned toward Sheridan’s period pieces too, naming 1883 as his television favorite: “I love 1883. I was just really struck by it.”
His mention of those two films alongside 1883 maps out a thread through Sheridan’s work: raw, grounded storytelling that carries the same sensibility whether it’s on the big screen or a streaming series.
Two picks that went in a different direction
Not everyone gravitated toward the period dramas. Kevin Zegers championed Special Ops: Lioness with zero hesitation: “Lioness is b-d-ss. Lioness is a great show. It’s like the movies that they used to make in the 90s. They’re just fun and action packed.”
That 90s comparison is specific and telling. He’s pointing to a style of filmmaking, a certain pacing and attitude, that Lioness apparently channels. If you’ve had Lioness on your watchlist without committing, Zegers’ framing gives you a clear picture of what you’re walking into.
Matthew Fox, meanwhile, kept his answer short and current: “Landman. I’m enjoying that series a lot.”
Fox didn’t elaborate, but his pick rounds out a set of recommendations that touches nearly every genre Sheridan works in, from period westerns to action to contemporary drama.
