For all my doubts upthread, completely won over by Yellowstone. We’ve binged seasons 1-4, doing the streaming service shuffle (Netflix then Amazon) and have subscribed to YAFSS (Paramount+) to get season 5. Well, the first half of season 5, stop doing that it’s annoying.
It’s beautifully shot, and the pacing is spot-on. You have to admire a program with the confidence to do nothing for 5 minutes but show you the cowboys being undramatically professional, just for a couple of character development lines at the end of the scene.
The protagonists are all still terrible people, but at this point you understand why and even sympathise. (Except Jamie. Jamie is a whiny asshole who is hopefully doomed). A little bit of me would be quite happy to drive the obnoxious developer guy to the Train Station to defend the fabulously filmed landscape. Also I would be quite happy to watch a spinoff featuring Beth being aggressively obnoxious to the deserving.
