I'm not a westerns guy either. I don't consider Yellowstone a western. 1883 however is as pure a western as can be and I am enthralled with it despite my ambiguity regarding westerns.
This may help with your westerns distaste..
I once saw an interview with Robert Duvall about some western he was doing.. I think it was Open Range with Kevin Costner (to close the Yellowstone loop) and he basically related westerns with mob films like the Godfather. He said in real life.. you have all this "authority" all around you.. something happens, you call the cops, the government.. but in the old west, like in the mob.. you cannot do that... you have to rely on yourselves. You make the rules, accept or fight the rules. \
It is interesting to see people put in those positions. And people like to visit those worlds.. where they are more in control.. despite the danger.. in their entertainment.
Same thing goes for so many forms of entertainment.. zombie films, war films, "reality" show competitions... SPORTS is related... while there is authority it is visible and obvious.. like a sheriff in a western town.. it has its limits.. the outcome is mostly up to the people.
