Sheridan has a great talent for taking a good premise (ranch life, oil men politics, etc) and dropping in as many grrlbosses or obnoxious women on soapboxes as he can get away with. The women in Landmen were exceptionally annoying and you could skip the wife/daughter side plots without missing anything. Nothing they do on their own ties into the main plot at all.
As for Yellowstone, I fell in love with the premise and the setting. Gorgeous backdrops of the ranch, Kevin Costner is a strong lead, interesting politics, etc. But then the women came on. One by one every one of them annoyed the shit out of me. Everyone gets a mandatory five minute soapbox lecture about whatever political gripe they have. I gave up when they let a woman into the cowboys group (who always wins poker or whatever they are doing on downtime). Sheridan wouldn't even let the guys have that little piece of the show to themselves
