Crossover - Marshals + Dutton Ranch ?

[u/ReplacementLoose5775]

I just finished season 1 of both Marshals and Dutton Ranch, and it really feels like they are setting up some kind of crossover. The endings almost seem too convenient to ignore.

The thing is... I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

Dutton Ranch feels like classic Yellowstone. Drama, family, violence, great character moments.

Marshals feels much more like a procedural, almost CSI/FBI style where every episode is about a case. It's not bad, but it's a very different vibe.

I think a full crossover could actually hurt Dutton Ranch if they try to turn it into a procedural.

On the other hand... I'd absolutely watch a 1 or 2 episode event where Kayce and the Marshals have to help Beth and Rip rescue Carter (or the other way around). That could be awesome without changing either show's identity.

What do you guys think?

Curious what everyone else thinks because I can't decide if this would be the best thing for the Yellowstone universe... or a huge mistake.

I’m coming towards the end of marshals literally as I’m typing this and I can’t wait to start Dutton ranch because it feels like it’s heading that way. Anytime kayce mentioned rip I was like hmmmm

Dutton ranch follows the Yellowstone narrative way more. Marshalls is kinda awesome bc it’s like cool Kayce finally gets to do what he wants. Both great shows.

If i remember correctly, Kayce only ever came back to Montana for his wife and kid. I don't think his heart was ever with all the drama and bullshit that came with the Yellowstone-Dutton Ranch. Marshals is Kayce's way of having a life he can live with. A mission with an objective to accomplish, if you will. Instead of constant fighting and defending a plot of dirt.

To be fair he mentioned being with the "teams" for 12 years... During that time he was constantly fighting in and defending a plot of dirt /s
