Yellowstone, Seasons 1, 2, & 3

Rated: TV-MA

Actors:  Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Gil Birmingham, Wes Bently

Wow.  Yellowstone.  How do I describe it?  Yellowstone is an intense series with a taste of the old T.V. show “Dallas,” thrown in.  As Eric mentioned, Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, land owner of prime, coveted land.  But the show doesn’t revolve only around him.  John has 3 boys and 1 daughter and they are a very dysfunctional family!  They all have issues that revolve around their past. 

Secrets.  Lies. Betrayal. Murder.  You name it . . .they’ve done it. 

Beth, his daughter, is a “kick your butt, kick it again then take your name” kind of woman.  You don’t mess with her unless you want to come up on the losing end.

Kayce is the younger brother who has issues from being in the war.  That being said, he finds it hard to walk on the straight and narrow as there’s always something calling his name to the other side. 

Then there’s Jamie.  Wow.  He has daddy issues.  Never feeling like he’s part of the family.  Never feeling like he’s “enough” for his dad no matter what he does. 

There’s also a brother that only survives the first season. 

And I don’t want to forget about Rip.  Rip is the guy!  He’s the one you go to when you need something done and kept a secret.  He’s the one that you don’t want to tick off because he’ll take a beating and keep on hitting you back.  He also plays the love interest for Beth.  Hot! Hot! Hot! 

This series’ intensity hits high highs and very intense lows.  There’s a lot of revenge.  A lot of violence.  A lot of language.  On the flip side, the scenery is beautiful.  The ranch they live on is a real ranch in Montana.  The music is perfect.  This was the most watched series as the third season ended this summer – on an explosive twist that everyone was talking about!  It’s only a summer time series and waiting for season 4 will seem like forever.
