Like five generations of his forebears, hard-bitten Montana ranch patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) has ridden herd on America's largest contiguous spread... but between his declining health, his emotional gulf with his willful kids, and ever dicier border dustups with the government, developers, and the neighboring reservation, the trail's never been harder. Taylor Sheridan's hit contemporary western from Paramount Network co-stars Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Kelsey Asbille, Cole Hauser.9 episodes on 3 discs. 7 3/4 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Review: Compelling and Amazing series - This is a mirror of the Western United States. While aging baby-boomers flee from high taxes and incessant crime in California, the diversity of our Nation's prideful Native American emergence via Casinos on Indian Lands, and finally a constant stream of wretched developers, developing for the unending wicked "transplants' who migrate to anywhere they can find their wicked solitude in developments which, deny the existing infrastructure, and want only what they had at home, "Yellowstone" portrays it all. I have to say this series is one of the best written and produced versions of a Television movie, since "Lonesome Dove". While the latter was about the migration of a group of cattlemen into a new and challenging land in the late part of the 1800's, this is about a Cattle Baron in Montana today, who easily could have had a heritage from one of those early founders. He in on attack from every side of a constantly burgeoning barrage of Capitalist developers, and Native Americans, who, enriched by the wealth of Casinos, also believe this is their ancestral land. They want it back, and not without reason. I have never seen such a fascinating montage of conflicting interests presented, with violence, yes, and complete familial dis-functionality. After seeing the first episode, I thought this was the closest film I had seen to the "Godfather", one and two. The next few episodes, filling in the history of Dutton, are little disappointing as they do not live up to the fury of the first, which is a rallying cry for the children to go to war for their Father versus everyone in opposition. Nevertheless, only having seen the first six episodes, Costner is at his "weathered" best as the patriarch, and all the cast are completely wonderful. I would highly recommend this mini-series, for its significant impact, and as a mirror of conflicting interests which now plague this beautiful and diverse landscape. Review: Great show - Have all the seasons.

Best new drama on television
First off, pay no attention to the 1 star reviews being written by people who evidently don't know what the phrase "This program is rated MA and contains scenes of strong violence, language and nudity. Viewer discretion is advised" means. Good grief people, if you want a family friendly Western drama, rent The Swiss Family Robinson. Now then. This is the best drama on television IMHO. Unlike some shows like The Walking Dead, they don't make episodes just to fill time. The show is tight, and background information into the characters gets the job done without being overly drawn out. It's basically The Sopranos in Montana, with the Dutton family serving as your favorite good bad guys. Just outstanding and what basic cable could use more of. This season focuses on a ongoing land war between the Duttons, a Native American tribe leader and a real estate developer from California. And once more to the prudes who object to the clearly warned about language, violence and sex: my 70- something year old church going Aunt watches this show with my Uncle and they love it. Some of y'all need to relax...

A great modern western
Step by step, Taylor Sheridan is gaining a worldwide reputation as the author and movie director on modern western genre. Obviously he knows the country and its people, the ups and downs of living there and his films are strikingly realistic. This new series Yellowstone allows him to deepen the stories, the characters, the landscapes in an overwhelming saga of the New West vs the Old West. Filmed on location with a wonderful cast headed by Kevin Costner, ageing very well, Yellowstone is certainly one of the best TV shows around. It is thus impossible to understand why Yellowstone has not been issued in France where there is a strong number of western buffs. Meanwhile it would be nice if the US DVDs would feature French subtitles on those series.

Be careful, you will get hooked on this series!!
As usual Kevin Costner does an excellent job with this series. This is like the old west stile of justice in modern times. As usual, land is the issue. A battle for the land between a ranch owner ( Costner), the Indians on the reservation who owned the land first, and wealthy corporations. As usual, family issues abound!! As they warn, violence , a little nudity, too much foul language, but you are warned. This series is so contagious, you will get hooked very soon. The fourth season doesn’t start on TV till June 20, 2021 the last I heard. Buy the package of seasons one,two and three so you get caught up before season four starts!! The scenery of Montana is breathtaking! The series is called Yellowstone because it is next to Yellowstone National,Park. Warning: never let anyone drive you to “ the train station”!!
