I enjoy the Yellowstone TV series on the paramount network

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018

I enjoy the Yellowstone TV series on the paramount network. Hopefully, the series will be renewed past season 1. I think the characters and the story lines are great and the scenery on the show is some of the best I have ever viewed. Kevin Costner is great as the lead and the other characters are also well played. If this series is not renewed by the network I will be severely disappointed. I am really tired of all the "reality based" shows on TV and the return of previously TV show storylines like Murphy Brown, Will and Grace, Roseanne, etc. Yellowstone is a show based upon current subject matter, i.e. Uncontrolled urban growth and progress versus retaining natural environment and seeking a control of urban sprawl facing this country.

Friends kept telling me how great this show is so like a dummy I bought the whole 1st season. I watched it for three hours and hated it. I kept waiting for a plot line to show up but there wasn't one. Just scenery, nudity, sex, and lots of "f" words and filthy language. If that's what you like to watch on tv then this show is for you but I like to watch something that's at least halfway intelligent.

The language is filthy. We did not even get into 1-2 minutes of the show before the f bomb and every other curse word was used. What is wrong with people?? My husband and I were disgusted and wasted our 2.99. So thankful I did not buy the series!!

Cliche, sexist, racist....

I remember Kevin Costner in Dancing with Wolves. That movie was beautiful and meaningful and has stuck with me over the years. It is hard to believe this is the same Kevin Costner. I have never publicly rated a movie, but I will this one. I only watched Episode 1, from Season 1, and know I don't want to waste any more time with this. Cliche, racist, sexist... describe the first episode. No thanks.

Uneven, but not bad.

Good plot generally speaking, good acting, a modern western with glimpses into some of the daily life and challenges facing Montana ranchers. I found the writing stereotypic to the point of being shallow and stupid in some places, delightfully good in other places with surprising moments of clarity and depth. Character backstories are provided but not in a way that seem natural to the pacing of the episodes. It also seems like the writers thought they just had to include an obligatory level of violence at the obligatory rapid pace. That level and pace of violence is oddly out of sync with the nature of this particular story.

The plot could have been wrapped up in one season and it should have been. The story would have been communicated perfectly well. Instead, in the last episode the main character's arc was awkwardly extended and a new "twist" was added as sort of a cliff hanger. One gets the impression that this was done just in case a second season can be wrung out of the producers.

I honestly don't understand why American television is so unwilling to provide a fully formed story with a start and finish. Yellowstone could have run a second season with a second story, a third season with a third story and so on, rather than insisting on a longer run with a single story line and reliance on the old trope of the cliffhanger. And oftentimes the second season never makes the cut anyway and the viewers are left swinging in the breeze.

I paid for the first full season and watched the first show. The story is really good but I personally don't like to watch anything full of the "f" word and raunchy behavior. I realize sex and bad language sells but this show could be awesome without it. Unfortunately, I will not be able to watch any more of the shows. I wish I could get my money back.

Too Much Foul Language

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2019

I've always liked most of Costner's films but this was is a disappointment. It's like the writers and producers could not resist the temptation to insert as many F-bombs in each sentence of dialog as possible, and to expose nudity at every opportunity. The story is lame and the "garbage" so often interjected takes even more away from it. I'm surprised Costner would buy into this stuff. A waste of my $20. I think I'll just stick to British programs where we are not treated like a bunch of stupid sheep wanted to be entertained by Hollywood's filth and degeneracy.

Very Disappointed!

I got the DVD series after someone in Montana told me they filmed part of the series where I once lived. The person said no one in the valley liked the story line. I agree. It is of full of sex and foul language, and I've had enough of that. The log house is on the ranch where I grew up. My father named the ranch in honour of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, famous for his integrity and wisdom. It is very disappointing the story line would clash with the ethics my father felt were important to instill in our life as ranchers in western Montana. There was a grace, courage, and resilience that comes from a life such as that. It would serve as a wonderful basis for a story line that would inspire respect among men and women, our love of the earth, working with livestock, and the true partnership of a horse. I was truly privileged to grow up in that environment. We need to share those values on TV.
