Yellowstone (2018– )
9/10
Time well spent. A cinematic masterpiece.

So happy to have found this. Astonishingly gripping! At times a dark, bleak and grim drama (don't let that dissuade you... this show's amazing), on the struggle between a modern ranch, its cowboys, and local natives who seek a change to the oppression experienced for centuries. Greed combines with the struggle of politics and those of personal vendettas and relations, making this series one of intrigue and entertainment. The cinematography representing the Montana landscape is truly beautiful to behold. If nothing else, many will appreciate that alone. You will laugh, tear up, and maybe even grind your teeth and grip your arm chair with a fury as you watch the characters you'll come to love and hate go through innumerable trials and tragedies. One of today's greatest cinematic masterpieces which is sure to captivate many. This isn't just a boring "cowboys and Indian" show. It isn't all violence either. It will make you think. It will make you FEEL and if it doesn't, it probably isn't for you. Give it a couple episodes before judging. This isn't cheap entertainment. This is well scripted, well thought out, well acted television. TV at its best.

In a time when much of Hollywood seems insistent on pushing very in your face "woke" content, gender/race/sexuality swapping, sequel after sequel, remake after remake... you get a fresh quality television show with a broad cast of characters. I've never seen anything like it. No politics in your face. No woke agenda. It's nice to see a show that focuses on making "quality" content, rather than just delivering a message while delivering a limp and lame script like so many shows seem to be doing. Has Hollywood not learned? We need more shows like Yellowstone.
