“Yellowstone” is consistently engrossing, even when the material is extra pulpy and the multiple storylines become more than a bit confusing and muddled.

I’m late to the Yellowstone party, I only started last week, and honestly I almost bailed during the pilot. It felt kind of all over the place to me at first. But I pushed on to S01E02 and I’m really glad I did. This show is a masterpiece of modern TV. Every episode is packed with drama and action. It actually reminds me of Nashville in that way too, since Nashville was also like 90% drama, not one of those shows where it’s mostly slow filler with a few great moments. Highly recommend. Just get through the pilot and I promise you’ll be hooked by episode two. I can’t wait to finish the whole series and then dive into the spin-offs.

One of the two new shows that I've enjoyed on TV in a long time. Been enjoying every season so far, although season three was on the boing side but 4 out of 5 seasons are rock solid.

The two-hour “Yellowstone” pilot is both talky and somewhat predictable as it establishes the characters, their relationships and conflicts. But future episodes offer more surprises and deepen the characters--flashbacks help establish why Beth is the way she is--making “Yellowstone” an enticing summer diversion.

While always bordering on too melodramatic, the series was always entertaining enough to forgive some of its perhaps too over-the-top and sensational writing conveniences and contrivances. But right now, it’s stagnating. The meal is edible, and perhaps for new audiences, it’ll still taste flavorful. But if you’ve been on the ride for five seasons and know all the way this colt bucks and lurches.

There are larger-than-life characters and then there are impossible-to-believe roles, and “Yellowstone” runs deep with the latter. ... There’s a much easier way of summing up “Yellowstone”: Horsepucky.

At least on the basis of the new season’s maiden installment, Yellowstone seems committed to staying the course rather than upending expectations, and while that fits with its generally soap opera-ish nature, it results in considerable torpor.

A big, sprawling mess ... Yellowstone tries to be so expansive and soap-operatic that there's barely any realism in it.

Je découvre seulement cette série géniale sur la famille et le pouvoir. Moi qui adore la série Succession, je suis ravi de trouver cette version cowboy avec Kevin Costner ! Les médias n'en parlent pas, et pour cause : elle est à l'ancienne, sans la propagande des GAFAM woke qui souhaitent la déconstruction de notre passé, et la dissolution de l'idée de famille. Et c'est franchement rafraichissant quand il n'y a pas cette idéologie des années 2020 derrière.

Again, I do love a good western and this would qualify within that category . . . and it is a decent drama . . . and it does have a good cast . . . and there is a decent amount of action and s*x to go with your violence . . . BUT - I am really just about done with dysfunctional F*ed up families. There are times in this show where it really is just too much.

Les images sont belles, parfois des plans magnifiques. Il faut le souligner, la série transmet une version contemporaine du mythe western. Malheureusement des saisons inégales d'un point de vue scénaristique. (Saison 2 très vive, le reste est assez longuet).
Le développement des personnages se fait languir car on dirait surtout des enfants d'une fratrie de 35 ans qui chouinent comme des enfants au près de leur père. Leur développement ne commence vraiment qu'à la saison 3. Sinon le scénario ne prend jamais vraiment de risques, on est sur un classique américain où tout sourit aux héros qui se sauvent miraculeusement de toutes les situations par des pirouettes. À force c'est lassant et frustrant, surtout que la série introduit parfois des choix scénaristiques forts promettant des changements avant de faire rapidement machine arrière pour préserver le statut quo..

Just a soap opera that pretends to be western. No logic in the plot. Worst ending ever.

This series started out reasonably well. That said it has fallen off a cliff of late and is a sad shadow of the promise that this series once held. It has become unwatchable.
