Next series I’m starting. Thru the first 5 episodes and quite like it. Hoping to finish the first 2 seasons before the 3rd begins. Avoiding spoilers in the thread for now but this has a very promising start so hopefully it doesn’t disappoint.

Finished the first 2 seasons. Definitely a fan. Sure, it can be a bit soapy and contrived at times but not too big of an issue. Especially when you have such strong acting and beautiful imagery to carry it. Acting is very good all around with Costner and Reilly doing the best work, and gotta love Cole Hauser giving one of the most Cole Hausery performances around. Might add some additional thoughts later.

Solid premiere imo. I think we are in for a treat tonight with episode 2.

This season has been a bit of a slow burn to start but things finally gearing up in the last episode. Spending a lot of time with how good things are right now for Kayce and Monica banging like rabbits and for Rip and Beth playing house that I know things will come crashing down soon.

It's one of my favorite shows right now, but damn. People need to watch more good (probably old) movies.

Caught up with it, and I have mixed feelings about it. For the most part I liked it, it's a solid modern western show, but it could have been so much better. The show has a big problem in Beth, whp is so over the top mean and in overall behavior that is hard to take her seriously (this isn't a knock against Kelly Reilly, who is very good)- in a different kind of show, she would have been a witch. The writers attempt to try to explain her behavior with a sympathetic backstory is both something that was very obviously an afterthought as a reaction to criticism and so forced that is literally unbelievable Forced sterilization? In the late 90's? And no doctor or person involved in the procedure explains to the patient what will happen? And of course the main issue of the most important female character is that she can't be a mother . It also seems to have a problem in not knowing what to do with Jamie- I mean, it has a general idea of what his arc will be, but he goes forward and back and does all sort of stuff, and even forgets entirely in the season 3 he's supposed to become a father . But like I said, for the most part I liked it. Has some interesting characters (though Rainwater, which could have been the most interesting, is underused), fun moments, the rare kid character who's not annoying, and when the show gets going, it can be really good (and had a hell of a finale for s03). It's just a little disappointing to see it had potential to be so much more.

The 2 hour season 4 premiere was really entertaining (and it more than made up for the disappointing/mediocre Those Who Wish Me Dead film directed by Taylor Sheridan this year) Looking forward to seeing the next episodes

This show is like an outlandishly over the top violent soap opera and isn't remotely realistic at all (but its very entertaining to me which is all I ask for. You can tell Taylor Sheridan & the rest of the cast/crew are having a blast with this series) And regarding Beth, you're not wrong there either. But I can't help but love how bitchy/feisty and funny she is (not to mention a total smoke show

Caught up on this TV progrum over the last few months... despite some hilarious lowpoints (Monica smashing the fuck out of her head on the pavement and initially only getting checked out by the school nurse, Jimmy losing his virginity in the hospital WITH A BROKEN BACK and brand new hip replacement ... just to name two) and some other problems (Beth being too OTT at times, Rainwater becoming totally inconsequential as the series progresses, neverending rodeo scenes) I really grew to love it. An actual neo-western with unbelievable scenery is enough for me tbh... but there are enough great characters, fascinating dynamics, and moments of insane intensity to rival any other TV drama of the last few years. Taylor Sheridan ain't Sam Peckinpah... but he might be the closest thing we have to him today. Peckinpah would certainly be watching some of those brawl scenes with a big shit-eating grin on his face. The poetic dialogue comes across as try-hard sometimes when an entire scene is just two characters speaking to each other in riddles, but most of the time it works. Season 2 was prob my favorite overall, though 3 & 1 aren't far behind. 4 is all over the place and didn't add up to as much as I was hoping, but it's not as bad as I've seen people elsewhere on the internet make it out to be. Kind of hoping they wrap it up with season 5 (or maaaybe bring it to 6) or the repeat cycle of "I'm keeping mah land" will truly get stale. the cast... I never thought I'd say these four words... but I must: KEVIN COSTNER IS INCREDIBLE. Aging had made him tougher, wiser, and more convincing. The gruff gravitas he brings to the role is astounding. Kelly Reilly is co-MVP. One of the most ferocious performances I've ever seen probably. The character can definitely get ridiculous at times, but she always sells it. And she can also be heartbreaking. Cole Hauser as my favorite character Rip kicks so much ass. One of the best swearers in TV history too. Bentley is good, Grimes has improved with each season (and he was never bad), Birmingham has had some great moments and some boring ones. Danny Huston was awesome, and he is missed. LOST legend Josh Holloway was unfortunately wasted.

Yellowstone prequel. Does this have its own thread? Maybe this could be the Taylor Sheridan thread... around January he'll have 4-5 series as creator concurrently on.
Premieres Dec 18 ...already ordered for two seasons.
