Enjoying this show.

Yeah I think it's fantastic.

I've heard it referred to as a soap opera which it is to a point...but I love the setting, themes, and characters.

8/15/2019 11:53:35 PM

I started watching this maybe 6 months ago or so, mostly because of Ryan Bingham. Almost immediately I was like, "Why the fuck wasn't I watching this from the beginning?".

There's been so much more than enough to keep me watching post Bingham's departure, I'll be in this til the end most likely. I do have a couple nits to pick with some of the writing choices. Like how is Jamie so fucking stupid to keep asking Beth for help, and are we to believe that this is all possible in Montana, or is this sort of a different world? It's a lot of murder with basically no legal repercussion thus far, seems unlikely.

But the music, acting, and cinematography are all great, which is plenty for me. Also I'm currently one episode behind

8/16/2019 9:29:48 AM

the first season story was a little disorganized, the 2nd season is really good so far

8/16/2019 10:08:23 AM

first season moved pretty fast. Just starting 2nd season.

8/17/2019 12:23:09 PM

jfc the end of that episode, I know we were expecting it but still, shit got real

8/22/2019 8:01:21 PM

Is this show political? Because all my hardcore conservative friends on FB are raving about it.

8/23/2019 7:53:34 AM

No

8/24/2019 9:44:47 AM

It appeals to what conservatives think their political leanings say about them (self reliance, defending what's yours, being a "man"), but there is nothing really very political about the show

9/4/2019 9:29:25 AM

i'd say it's "montana political". fighting over land, the have's and the have-not's, keeping things the way they've always been vs. progression and change.

it's also very lol-worthy. Especially the season 1 episode with the asian tourists.

9/4/2019 12:08:34 PM

So....this is on the Paramount network? Another monthly fee streaming service?

9/9/2019 11:06:04 AM

No fee if you have a DirecTV login. Not sure what the standalone cost is.

9/9/2019 11:50:49 AM

I get it on Sling

9/9/2019 12:21:53 PM

it's on Spike as well.

9/9/2019 7:00:21 PM

Great show.

Do you find your allegiance switching between the Duttons and the Rainwaters, or is that just me?

11/10/2020 9:30:04 PM

not in season 3

11/11/2020 10:12:43 AM

not watched season 3 yet.

11/12/2020 6:07:14 AM

Just started Season 1 on Sunday.

12/8/2020 11:24:00 AM

started last night. The first 2 episodes were great.

12/9/2020 10:32:50 AM

OH WE BACK!!1

11/10/2021 9:52:44 PM

the first episode was great. The opening sequence we absolutely top quality

11/11/2021 9:06:57 AM

GD this show is good.

11/16/2021 4:44:20 PM

Anyone else besides me think this is just a modern “Dallas”?

11/17/2021 10:04:48 PM

Probably a R rated version of Dallas, but I bet most people here are to young to have watched Dallas all the way through.

WHO SHOT J.R.?!?

How is Jamie's hair going to get himself out of this mess?

11/23/2021 8:06:30 AM

I wish the writers could figure out a way to make the ranch hands more seamlessly involved in the show's main storyline more often. In general this is the show on right now that I look forward to the most each week.

Also the music is just great, as on point as that in Peaky Blinders

I will say I don't need to see horses spinning around in circles and stopping any more. And by any more I mean I was done with it after the first 1 time they did it

11/23/2021 2:49:24 PM

But how will they fill the 45 minutes of run time if they don't have a dressage montage and a cowboy bunk scene?

11/24/2021 9:08:03 AM

Omg. Tyler Sheridan loves to film himself on those damn horses.

Season 4 was kind of a letdown. I believe the writers are slowing it down enough to get at least 6 seasons out of it.

Thoughts on season 4? I don't want to share any spoilers yet.

1/3/2022 9:53:37 PM

I think season 4 epitomizes the writing on this show. They have great characters and great dialogue, but they have no idea where to take the plot

1/4/2022 4:33:15 PM

Solid season, but not as good as season 4. Hopefully this isn't a show that just goes on in perpetuity. 5-6 seasons max.

Also...Laramie!

1/5/2022 10:30:28 AM

Slow season low body count. no side boob

1/5/2022 4:29:19 PM

Season 4 was trash.

What a complete waste of Will Patton. It took them all season to wrap up the loose end of the Season 3 finale that it had zero impact. Just some hitmen hired by a deadbeat dad. Sure, Jan.

What a complete waste of Market Equities. a shoddy plan by Beth to get the developers in trouble through the media ends in her out of a job.

What a complete waste of a season for Casey. The only character with any real moral grounding got to spend the last half of the season chasing stolen horses and going on a vision quest. Great.

The only redeeming thing was seeing Jimmy make it out alive.

I agree with all of this. They're focusing A LOT on character development and not moving the plot.

I like Jimmy, but he could have had his story really chopped down instead of dedicating like 15 minutes of every episode to what he's doing.

The Casey side plot was dumb. After Rainwater told him that the reservation girl was trouble, you knew what would be in his wolf hallucination.

Beth is a huge cunt and completely unlikeable. It was satisfying to see her fired, but she didn't really do anything at Market Equities. She still hates Jamie for something he did when he was like 16. We get it!

Beth told John he needed some pussy, so he spends all his time on Piper. Wasn't he supposed to be running a campaign for governor?

The bathtub scene with Tate was super cringe. I think the writers are realizing that fans don't care for Monica or Tate, but it's taking too much effort to write them out of the show.

[Edited on January 7, 2022 at 11:31 AM. Reason : i forgot that they added in a gratuitous 1883 promo scene that wasn't necessary to the plot]

1/7/2022 11:28:58 AM

Everything this season has been a setup for the spin-offs. what a shitty season

1/7/2022 3:37:41 PM

If I had been given the assignment of finding a subject for a Yellowstone spinoff I'm not sure I could have come up with anything less interesting than the 6's ranch

1/10/2022 9:27:47 AM

"Do you like Yellowstone's 10 minute horse dressage montages!?"

Do you find yourself overly invested in Jimmy's lovelife!?

Well do we have the show for you!

Join us in 2023 on the 6666 Ranch for "Dances with Horses""

1/11/2022 10:34:40 AM

Ha ^. Finally finished season 4 so I can read this thread again. Getting predictable. Only thing I called wrong in the last episode was I thought Jamie was going to shoot his dad mid-sentence instead of waiting until he was done talking.

Agreed - what was the point of the 1883 flashback tracking horse thiefs other than to rip off Lonesome Dove and just gratuitously promote a spinoff?

And I'm not sure how much Sheridan knows about politics, but running for governor is kind of a full-time job - don't think there was even an attempt to show Dutton campaigning after his announcement.

1/18/2022 12:21:40 PM

Just really go into this show the last couple of months.

Watched all 4 seasons in a short time span

If I was to rank seasons it would be S1..S3..S2....................S4 outside the first episode of season 4 it really was kind of a let down.

As has been said John's running for Governor he accepted the Lunell's endorsement and then Jaime plots to run against him even saying he would call a press conference but nothing happened on that front and now nothing will, unless the curve ball is Kayce running against his dad in season 5.

Season 4 was so disjointed, in episode 1 everyone is phyically and emotionally hurt, but by episode 2 everyone seems fine. Episode 9 Beth and John have it out and John basically tells her to GTFO and 10 minutes into Ep 10 they make up and its almost like nothing happened.

This show has become very Beth and Rip centric which is fine because they are compelling characters but John started out as somewhat of an Antihero in S1 to and out hero by S4. Jaime wanders in and out of the plot now, and Kayce seems to be following same path. Overall S4 seemed to have 1 goal setup the 1883 and 6666's spinoffs.

2/7/2022 7:53:02 AM

S5 started off strong!

11/14/2022 9:10:21 AM

Hopefully it continues, but strong start.

11/15/2022 12:40:08 PM

I realize I'm in the minority here since the whole country has fallen in love with this show, but what really is this any more other than cowboy people putting down any opinion that's not their own with un-countered one liners that make sense for 3 seconds? Oh and Beth being ridiculously cruel to Jamie

I'll keep coming back for the music I guess, but it's giving me a hard time lately

12/5/2022 3:22:50 PM

"but what really is this any more"

good question. The show has gotten really bad at introducing an antagonist or problem at the beginning of the season (market equities, national park rangers), then completely ignoring these for the entire middle of the season in exchange for horse montages and fights-of-the-week, and then circling back to reintroduce, solve and eliminate the antagonists in the final two episodes of the season.

Now, half of the cast doesn't even have an active storyline.

Also the whole John Dutton who doesn't understand why he has so many meetings and just cancels everything is a really dumb character trait. He was the head of Montana BLM for the first two seasons and spent tons of time at the capitol in meetings. It's just lazy writing at this point.


But i'll keep watching.

Sounds like why I stopped watching The Flash in like season 5.

Its rare for shows to keep up high quality writing and plot lines.

Characters whose plots have gotten stale or unecessary
Kayce, Monica, and Tate they don't really add much anymore.
Chief Rainwater and Mo
Bunkhouse crew especially Walker and Teeter

Like Jeepin4x4 said its pretty much Beth dropping one liners and being mean to Jaime, John dropping one liners and complaining that he actually has to govern. Jaime being conflicted about helping his adopted family and his political ambition. And Rip running the ranch and breaking the law to keep the ranch running. The other characters are just filler.

But I'll keep watching
