"DADDY"
I thought I was going to lose my head last night when the notification came up at 6p for Yellowstone and I hollared at @KickinNDishin to hurry come quick for what turned out to be a 5min commercial.
Everyone I know raves about this show.
We watched an episode or two, but I turned it off after the scene in the first season where they were fly fishing and catching fish off of horseback.
I figured if the show was going to be as cliched and contrived as having Montana cowboys fly fishing off of horseback, I better cut my losses before I invested any time into it.
I‘ll give it another shot though.
Side note. I like Kevin Costner as an actor, and I’ve met him too. Kevin owns a property in Aspen with a stocked trout pond on it. I used to guide fishing out of Aspen, and we’d volunteer our time to take kids with terminal illnesses fishing at Kevin Costner’s place. Kevin and his wife would come out to say hi, and he was genuinely a nice person. Kevin even attended the wedding of a buddy of mine who had met him through his bartending job. I knew quite a few locals in Aspen who had met Kevin or interacted with him over the years, and everyone always mentioned what a nice guy he is.
"Justified" with Timothy Olyphant? Similarly farcical but worthy.Best show ever made….
I have no problem with costner. The problem is the never ending dipshittery. Weave a horse trailer down the road the the two guys inside not only end up dead, but they just get rid of the bodies and nothing happens. The bank takes over a guys ranch and they just take his horses to auction and give the widow the proceeds. Jeezus H, krusty the clown could follow that trail but nope, not here. Then we hang the fat guy and dump his body off the side of the road, where they've been dumping for decades but somehow, nobody ever finds the dump. Mid 1800's, yea maybe, but set in current times it's beyond stupid.No, it’s not believable, but neither is Star Wars. I think most people that don’t like it don’t because Kevin isn’t really a good guy. We are used to him being a really good guy. He has some good qualities, but his ranch and family come first. The law be dammed. If that’s not your cup of tea, you won’t like it. But if you are tired of PC, predictable shows, you will prob like it. Opening weekend of deer season is here followed by heading home and watching the next episode. Cant wait.
I think there may be some validity to the “train station”. Pretty sure Meateater covered it in a podcast. Obviously not very realistic. But I can’t think of a lot of shows that are.I have no problem with costner. The problem is the never ending dipshittery.

Justified isn’t my favorite (nothing comes close to The Americans), but it was far better than Yellowstone imo."Justified" with Timothy Olyphant? Similarly farcical but worthy.
To keep on topic: Yellowstone - Season 3, Episode 4. Enough said.
