Rare is the show that can successfully stage a comeback from a major creative overhaul. There have certainly been some exceptions to the overall rule over the years — especially in the realm of long-running network television, where departures happen both in front of and behind the camera — but it rarely bodes well when a creator exits a show while it’s in the midst of being made. Such is the case for Kurt Sutter‘s The Abandons, which marks the writer and director’s first show for any network or streamer since FX’s one-and-done The Bastard Executioner a decade ago. The Western drama initially had a lot going for it based on both pedigree and premise alone; who wouldn’t want to watch a series starring Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as a pair of warring matriarchs in the 1850s, fighting for every scrap of land they can claim for their families?
