In the age of neo-Westerns we presently find ourselves, perhaps no streaming giant has a finer collection of modern television horse operas than Paramount+. Not only does this streaming platform feature the near-full catalog of Taylor Sheridan dramas (sorry, Yellowstone), but it also offers some of the best non-Sheridan works out there. While perhaps not as popular as Netflix or HBO Max, Paramount+ remains the streaming home of some of the best Western TV shows out there.

But just because a Western show is on Paramount+ does not mean it's perfect. After all, Landman has been considered a neo-Western by some, and it features its own share of disappointments. Likewise, Hell on Wheels falls more in line with traditional Western definitions and yet still has a few holes of its own. So, with that in mind, here are the Paramount+ Westerns that we're proud to give 10/10 status, believing that these are the cream of the streaming platform's abundant Western crop.

The Western genre, far from being a relic of the past, is enjoying a modern-day resurgence, proving its enduring power to explore core American themes: survival, morality, and the shifting nature of the frontier. The series highlighted in this list demonstrate this revitalized appeal, offering everything from the epic, sprawling landscapes and complex family drama of Yellowstone and its prequels to the gritty, authentic historical narratives of Deadwood and the speculative, philosophical questions raised by Westworld. These shows have successfully redefined the "cowboy" narrative, moving beyond simple black-and-white tales to embrace complex anti-heroes, diverse perspectives, and richly detailed historical settings. Ultimately, the best Western series of today prove that the myth of the American West is still fertile ground for powerful, prestige television, reminding us that the spirit of the frontier, with all its danger and promise, continues to ride strong.
