3 Seasons R
Hopefully the new normal doesn't stay that way for very long but it is what it is. The brick-and-mortar theaters are pretty much all open with varying degrees of arbitrary restrictions which, for me, haven’t really caused any problems as far as the enjoyment of motion pictures. The biggest problem is the fact that studios are producing less and less and the wave feature films. The good news is there’s a lot of good stuff streaming. It’s almost harder to discuss a series that goes on for two for 3 or even more years but I can give you a vague idea of the setup and how I’m liking it so far. Personally, whatever series you begin I think you should give it at least three or four shows before you decide whether or not to bail. I didn’t particularly love the first couple installments of the YELLOWSTONE but by the time episode 3 was finished I was hooked. This is a big beautiful sprawling modern day western saga that will remind you at times of an R-rated DALLAS or possibly a western version of THE GODFATHER or even a hard-edged BONANZA. The patriarch of the Yellowstone Ranch one of the largest in the West is a cantankerous widower John Dutton Oscar winner Costner) trying to keep the ranch out of the clutches of the modern age with its politicians and land developers, and dealing with 5 very different adult children. Kayce (Luke Grimes) who after having returned from Special Forces is reluctant to fully join the family ranch business to the great disappointment of his dad. He’s married an Indian girl and his son is one of the few bright spots in Grandpa’s life.
Jamie (Wes Bentley) was sent away to an Ivy League Law School but spends every day vainly fighting for his father’s approval. There is something terribly wrong between him and his sister the hard-living hard drinking and dangerously smart Beth (Kelly Reilly) which I assume will be explained as the series goes along.
There is Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) tough, mean and fiercely loyal, a troubled young man who was given a new lease on life on the Yellowstone Ranch.
Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) is the head of the tribe on the reservation he is sometimes Dutton's enemy and sometimes his ally. Of course, as the seasons progress there are plenty of other antagonists, duplicitous politicians and other sundry and assorted bad guys to keep the story rolling along. At times exhilarating at other times shockingly violent Yellowstone rolls through 3 Seasons like a team of wild horses. Just for the record season 4 is green-lighted and should be out soon. I refuse to read any spoilers though. And I haven’t really given any here.
By the way folk’s today’s shout-out is to the gang at the Kent Cinema an eclectic labyrinth of a theater located in the college town. Don’t trust Fandango’s information page though, you can call the theater to make sure of times and shows.

I love Yellowstone. Good assessment, especially with the Godfather reference. I’m a sucker for pretty much anything Costner does and this one didn’t disappoint. I’m very much looking forward to season 4, but so far it’s been a show releasing in the summer so might be a few months.

Part 2 of season 5 is a couple episodes in and l’m really digging it so far. It was like the worst kept secret that Costner wasn’t coming back for it and they’ve done a killer job navigating that so far.
The plot line is a little disjointed where they pop back and forth in time, sometimes without warning, but they throw some other cool plot elements in the mix and ramp up the Montana-ness of the whole thing and l’m pretty happy with it so far.

Watching Cross on Amazon right now which is pretty damn good so far. Next up is land man with Billy Bob Thornton from the same guys that write yellowstone I believe..

That's one of the problems with watching a series. No that it's common knowledge about the final season.....
I won't say anything if you heart already hip to it.

I’m putting my foot down and calling Yellowstone a top 5. I’m here for disagreements from y’all.

I loved the series. I can't give them a top 5 because of this equation.:
Matthew Mcconaughey =/= Kevin Costner.

IMHO I despise Beth more than I kind of despise Jamie. Kind of felt bad for Jamie, being the black sheep. Beth is just a bully.

I will say I enjoyed watching the series, looked forward to watching it, But to much fucking country music to much Beth and they could have condensed it to 4 seasons, That being said has anyone watched 1923 ?
