Joe Pickett is currently streaming in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 95 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Michael Dorman — one of the stronger performances out there right now. Start it on Paramount Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Joe Pickett keeps coming up in conversation. The writing in Joe Pickett treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. A game warden and his family navigate the changing political and socio-economic climate in a small rural town in Wyoming on the verge of economic collapse. Surrounded by rich history and vast wildlife, the township hides decades of schemes and secrets that are yet to be uncovered. Michael Dorman and Julianna Guill lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It ran for 2 seasons (2021–2023), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The performances in Joe Pickett do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Joe Pickett. Fans of Longmire will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Michael Dorman is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.

Joe Pickett was cancelled in 2023, created by John Erick Dowdle, Drew Dowdle and C.J. Box — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
