Yellowstone

If you are like me and watch things on Netflix, here's something I wish Netflix had told me before I started watching: it does not have the 5th season, and it is very unlikely it will acquire the rights in the future. You'll get drawn in with season 1-4, and then find yourself thinking: wait, this is it? Where's the rest?? Nothing is resolved, nothing is wrapped up.

Well, you'll have to go somewhere else for the rest. Where that is depends on where you live.

As for the series itself, there is very little to say that hasn't already been said. Yes, seasons after 1 & 2 are not as good, but it's not such big change as to lose my interest. Certainly good enough foe me to wish I could see season 5.

Yellowstone was one of the best shows on tv from when it originally came on in 2018 right up to the ending in 2024. It was the #1 show on cable for all 5 seasons it was on (really it was 6 seasons because they broke season 5 into 2 parts). It's hard to explain just how good this show really is. The acting, writing, directing, cinematography, production, etc, are all incredible. It's exactly what you expect from a Taylor Sheridan show since just about everything he does is terrific. The acting was as good as anything on tv. Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, Hassie Harrison, Kelsey Asbille, Wes Bentley and the rest of the cast all deserve recognition for the incredible job they do season after season, episode after episode. It's one of the rare shows where almost every season is just as good as the others. I can't recommend this show enough, just go watch it for yourself.

We have always liked Herr Costner's Western output,(...I think 'Open Range' with the peerless Robert Duval is one of the Greatest ever...),and this series is one of his best, although, I suppose his Family, with all their various issues, probably have more screen time...no bad thing as they are all, uniformly brilliant with the 'Cherry on Top of the Cake', Kelly Reilly as his mercurial, combative daughter'Beth' chewing up the scenery every time she's centre stage. Everyone else are superb too, though. We have just finished Season 4 and loved it especially all the proper Cowboy 'stuff' with incredible scenes of competition Horse riding, Rodeo riding and the like...Wonderful stuff. Cannot wait to see how the superb series ends. Bravo to All involved...Yee Hah!!!........ .......Was a bit rushed doing this review, last night, so I didn't even get to mention other great characters like the excellent Native American contingent, uniformly dignified and charismatic and the 2nd 'Cherry on the Cake'.... Cole Hausers 'Rip' who my wife tagged straight away...she loves hunky, rugged men hence...er...me,(..Hee hee..).

The wife and I have watched since season 1. We stopped when all the bickering started in season 4, and then binged the final season after it was over. I was worried that Sheridan was going to blow the ending, but I felt it was well done. We get closure, we know where everyone is headed, and many of the fears we had for some characters are laid to rest. Very well done. Finally, someone knows how to end a series.

I didn't blame Costner for wanting to end on a high note. This was SO much better than dragging it out. Season 4 was proof that it was time.

Be aware that there's lots of sex, alcohol and language abuse, but it is tolerable. I'd definitely suggest this show!

Kelly Reilly owns every scene she is in. She must have really enjoyed playing this part because she just dominates. Everyone. Watching her with Kevin Costner & you can see he loves acting with her. The best part IMHO is they have not made Kelly Reilly's character a girl boss who beats up 300lb giants that you see with the MCU.

The character uses her brains to outsmart every men or women opponent.

I am enjoying the series which is Kevin Costner's tribute to modern day cowboys & their keeping hold of traditional values against a backdrop of city developers who just want to make a load of money.
