I enjoyed the show. It helps if you enjoy the environment and setting of the show. I think it ending with season 4 would have been fine as Jimmie's Arc came pretty much full circle. I am sad that season 5 seems to have jumped the shark. Hopefully not to the extent of Season 8 of Game of Thrones but I wonder if they just ran out of ideas on how to make it bigger. You would think becoming a Governor would add a dimension, but it also makes things kind of boring. The ranch and the defense of it was what most enjoyed about the show. Taking it up a notch where the ranch becomes a second setting is probably not what a lot of people really wanted.

the show is entertaining, its just not a serious representation of anything real.
My advice to you if you are new to watching it is have a drink every time john dutton ( kostner) calls someone a son of a bitch, or says the word live stock commissioner.
The show becomes more entertaining this way imo.

My wife and I just walk around saying SUM'BITCH constantly now.
He said he made a mistake wrapping everything up in 1 season with 1883, so I'm sure he's writing 1923 for the long haul.

We got 3-4 episodes into S5 and gave up a few months back. Couldn’t take it anymore. Beth is too over the top ridiculous among other things. Just got be cringy every episode. I just wanted to fast forward through parts of it.

The soap opera part of it was BS that I just overlooked. Same as SOA , same as Mayans now. They always are going broke, they always are making a last minute deal to save the ranch. Any time the half indian chick is on the TV now I always tell my wife 'here come the tears!'.
However I really liked the cowboy parts of it and any scene with Rip in it (guy that wears black hat and short jacked he may have another name). Lead is going through a divorce so that may have a lot to do with it as well.

Ah yes, the “Indian” woman who is half white / half Chinese and zero part Indian. She annoys me far less than Beth.
I’d take an edited version of this show with no Beth or the whiny brother.

Jamie would be fine without Beth around to constantly make him look like such a spineless faggot. He should have fucking shot her ass when she showed up at the train station at the end of season 4 talking shit to him yet again.

Oh totally. That scene so was so fucking irritating and dumb.
Thinking back on this show it annoyed me so much I regret having ever started it.
I’d take an episode where Jamie just kills the entire family, actually. Just brutally murders Beth, his dad, Rip, and the other brother. Maybe just walk in while they’re all eating dinner and shoot them. That would be satisfying.
That’s perhaps what I hate about this show under the surface, they’re all garbage for different reasons. Lots of TV shows have protagonists who are bad people, like the Sopranos, but I actually LIKED most of the people on the Sopranos and they felt more human and redeemable than anyone on Yellowstone. Yellowstone it seems like everyone is simply awful with little reason to like them.
The only truly decent guy (I’m starting to forget names) is the scrawny cowboy dude / ex criminal they sent off to learn how to cowboy better.

I actually felt like in a lot of ways that the story revolved around Jimmy's character. It was why I enjoyed the show up too season four. The last episode made for a good send off of his character after having learned how to be a cowboy. It was a good redemption story. After reading the board's reaction to season 5, I get the feeling that it took the extreme too far extreme. I am in no hurry to watch it.
I think Taylor Sheridan wrote himself into a corner and never considered how to end the story properly. He just chose to up the stakes every season and ran out of runway.

I think he's doing the same thing with The Mayor of Kingstown. He just keeps upping the ante until the main characters are practically serial killers and actual infantry battles are all that's left to do. It's very Kurt Sutterish.

I checked into Yellowstone because of the "Taylor Sheridan" brand and right before the fifth episode I just couldn't care about both the story and characters, it totally felt like some random Sons Of Anarchy / latest The Shield seasons quality wise: abysmal writing, dumb characters, heavy cliches and whatnot. Then I went to check on Sheridan:

Less than two hours for a complete story vs. 13 hours for a story that need to be able to be stretched out over and over and over....

For those who wait for the show to drop on Peacock, the first half of season 5 comes out on May 25th. Given how panned the season was, I was in no hurry to watch. I like the show enough that I will still watch this. Its like season 8 of Game of Thrones. You watch it one time just to agree that it sucked.
