Viewers could have been patient with a show this lethargic if it paid off, but this Western just cuts to black in a way that will likely leave them more furious than excited about a follow-up.
-
Despite its contentious creation, the true tragedy of “The Abandons” is that even in pieces, it still serves the same function as all those other shows: to make slop so prevalent, viewers won’t be able to separate the bad from the abandoned.

Everyone would probably be in better form if the writing were decent.

Even the most diehard of Western fans should keep on scrolling.

It’s almost worth watching as a sicko-mode voyeur, since the series is so disjointed and elliptical that it approaches anomaly and spectacle. But for viewers seeking entertainment, The Abandons makes it too easy to, well, abandon it.
