Tall Drink of Water

A selfish, self serving family, brazenly committing every crime imaginable, daring anyone to do anything about it. If the Monica Dutton character could be any more stereotypically pathetic she'll soon be standing there shedding a single tear next to a garbage dump. Each year the characters become even more cartoonish and ridiculously over the top. Taylor Sheridan just took characters from Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It and Dances With Wolves along with their plot lines to make an interesting season 1 but apparently he had no strategy beyond that. Guess that's why he switched to single season dramas. Think it's time to stick a fork in this one.

The last few years Taylor Sheridan has become a household name with all of his different series on TV. This one started as a great filler for those of us looking for something grand after GOT was finished. Smart and sexy with an excellent cast of characters in a vast, beautiful region of our country. The first few seasons were great but these last 2 definitely are off. Every time I turn it on now the dialogue and storylines get worse. I'm surprised these actors are actually sticking with it honestly. I'm sure they feel it too. Every other show that Taylor has put out since has the same problem. And let's not even talk about the embarrassment of 1883! He may have the viewership but many are sitting around shaking their heads at the end. Would love for him to stop his Hollywood greed and go back to writing great for Yellowstone instead of subpar trash for all the shows. He's becoming a male Shonda. Too bad.

Well Beth taught that self entitled b**** not to bring a knife to a gunfight. I really enjoyed seeing her clean the floor with that rude snob. I also thought the funeral service for Kasey and Monica's baby very moving. Poor Jamie, he just can't help proving Beth correct about him. It is just so easy to root for Beth, she knows him like the back of her hand. I also like how Beth is handling the Market Equities business deal. She is teaching them that dealing with Westerners does not mean that the birds falling into thier hands. Ready for the plucking. I love the Ryn storyline with the singer, ir is just so cute.

So We are in 5 seasons of the Dutton family getting away with every crime possible. Not only that...rewarded for it. And morbidly packaged in a format that we should be proud of then for it. Because they are cowboys. Or because they are fighting the government or big corporations. A family that routinely killed ranch hands that didn't fit in and wanted to quit. A family that now is lifted governor and his his first action is his own self interest over everyone...even other ranchers. Yea, this is not a surprise to be true...but don't worry spect me to admire you.

This is the first show that has me routing for big corps and government to crush a family business. I sincerely hope Beth goes to prison for this smaller crime she has done in the same way Capone got caught on tax evasion. Just find something to show some semblance of reality.

Otherwise this show is a child's game of "I win". And then lacks any reason to watch as their is zero challenges, story or characters arch's.

At this point, I only watch to see the Dutton family all go to prison.

But sadly, this writers for this show are terrible. Beth will get off in less than 2 episodes on something pathetic as a payoff or governor overreach. Or her brothers wimp no arch character. Season 1 was interesting but season 2-5 is like watching season 11 of game of thrones....watching for finality if something you started but just hoping they kill everyone off so you never have to endure it again.

The character of Beth is a total joke, are they trying to make her the new JR? I mean i can think of at least 10 people who would be happy to see her get taken out and not come back This was good it was very good, but she is cack and is destroying the whole show. Even our Kev is being left in her wake, maybe he is happy that she will kill the show? Maybe he wants the show killed. And does he ever take his hat off? JR was a joke with Sue Ellen, but they had personality, life, fun, this is turning into Beth doing any F thing she wants and Kev walking about in his big hat, and Jamie boy a little baby kitten. Lucky as having Sky i get this for free, this was Paramount's flagship show, now i feel it will be Tulsa King with Rocky, I would like to see Beth pick a fight with Rocky and that would be worth watching.
