The title is misleading...it should something say something like this "The Top 10 Westerns made after 1990" as you fail to mention shows from the 50s and 60s which are far better than some of the ones you mention here e.g."The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp"; "Maverick"; "Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza".

Honourable shoutout to Lonesome Dove (8.7) which would have placed fourth, but given that it was more of a miniseries/TV movie it didn't quite meet the criteria to feature in this video. Well worth a watch though!
-
When Firefly was cancelled---I literally cried ---thoughtful, intelligent television--with the chemistry of a Nobel prize winner.
-
Really glad you cited Firefly. That shows you gave thoughtful consideration at to What a Western is
-
Godless is on another level, a masterpiece! <3 And Hell On Wheels won my heart :')
-
If Lonesome Dove isn't top 3 on this list the whole thing is invalid. That mini series is arguably the greatest Western anything of all time.
-
Lonesome Dove is no:1 for me. Deadwood That Dirty Black Bag And Godless are all top 5 for me.
-
Lonesome Dove, Broken Trail, Laramie, Maverick, Return to Lonesome Dove, Rawhide, Bronco, Cheyenne, Wagon Train, The Virginian
-
Hell On Wheels is the Epitome of what a great western TV show should be. Once you start watching it you can't hardly stop. Same with 1883 and the modern day Yellowstone. Great stuff !
-
To me Deadwood is the greatest TV western ever and as you said, it raised the bar for everything to follow.
-
With a few exceptions, this list should be titled best “neo-Westerns” of the lat 30 years.
-
How is Have gun will travel and Gun smoke not on this list?
-
All of these Westerns are so modern. The TV Western has a rich history going back to the 50s.
-
Deadwood is not only the greatest western tv show it’s also arguably the greatest western across all mediums (tv, film, theater, book etc) as well as a worthy contender for greatest tv show of all time. As an artistic endeavor it’s simply peerless thanks in no small part to its genius (and I do mean that literally) creator David Milch.
-
Are you out a your mind? The ten greatest TV western ever made were all made in the 1950's and 1960's.
-
This was solid list that covered all the bases and all my favourites. Great job!
-
Have Gun will Travel. Paladin super cool.
-
Hell on Wheels was phenomenal. Thought the 5th season kind of wasn’t the best, but by no means was it bad.
-
Personally I would like to see some older ones on the list. High Chaparral, Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Rawhide and so many others to watch.
-
“Lonesome Dove” was second only to “Deadwood,” and if I were to rewatch it again, I might say it surpasses “Deadwood,” yet you didn’t mention it. “The Rifleman” was a great series, presenting a compact morality tale in under a half hour every week and showing the loving bond between a father and a son and the lessons the son learns on his way to manhood, including those involving his father’s human frailties. A western doesn’t have to be “dark” or “gritty” to be great. Both of those shows rank in the top five, “Lonesome Dove” at one or two and “The Rifleman” at around five or maybe six. It was certainly better than “Hell on Wheels,” which was a very good show.
