Yellowstone

Wow. How come this is so unknown? A great series.

The thickness, bluntness, and the hilarious sauce of poetry made me giggle a lot. Had most fun with Costner constantly riding the heli in ep1. Alas, too many random ‘exciting events’ in the following eps made me quit.

Macho cowboy crap with a lot of folksy, earthy, forced crap from Kevin Costner.

Nice cast. I really enjoyed Kelly Reilly as the hot mess shark. The story dishes out a few too many implausible plot points. The acting is often too serious and deliberate.

Almost nothing made sense, the creator inserts himself randomly into an episode to uh... prove his manliness or something, at a time when there are so many things to be wrapped up with established characters. Its so out of place it seems like parody. Nothing really ends the way you want. Among the worst final seasons of all time.

Boring first episode, I didn't feel like watching more at all.
