Yellowstone (tv show) is really fucking stupid.

r/

Watching for the third time and can’t help but focus on how over the top it is. I feel like the Beck brothers plot line is absurd. Like they’re business men just hiring mercenaries to kill their rivals in extreme ways?

One of the greatest things about sopranos was how they never went over the top. People were killed but it was done sparingly.

    That show is just a conservatives wet dream of being a “badass” cowboy and murdering anyone who takes a single step on your property

    My bf started watching it yesterday and when I came home he told me the exact same things. It’s so dramatic and over the top he can’t take it seriously.

    I agree, Yellowstone was a spicy cowboy soap opera. 1923 was much better imo.

    I live on a ranch,

    with cows,

    and horses,

    and ranch hands.

    This show is stoopid.

    We had some real drama this morning. The well pump stopped working. Asked my wife for an emery (sp?) board (nail file). Crisis averted. Nobody went to the train station.

    I watched almost 4 seasons before realizing it was only b/c of Kevin Costner, he’s magnetic. Then realized the rest of the show was just awful.

    It is honestly the most idiotic show that takes itself seriously. It doesn’t just have plot holes, it has plot frickin cenotes. It has plot mineshafts. From “the NAVY SEAL is the screwup?” to “Isn’t that guy actually a Lawyer?” to “Anyone that falling down drunk does not outmaneuver California businessmen.”

    It is a boomer stroke off. It is a fantasy the olds have about being the upright and stoic MAN while their gentle and hapless millennial children wallow for his affection. Oh, please. Did I mention the Navy SEAL part?His boomerness is 70 years old, any of his male children can easily physically best him. Yet there he is, beating up men half his age because he is TOUGH.

    I’m gonna be honest here. 

    Dutton.

    The fuckin name Dutton itself sounds like a big, red faced, fat bearded hillybilly baby with a big lollypop and a diaper. 

    The name alone precludes me from watching a solitary second of the show.

    It’s The Sopranos for people who drive trucks that never leave the pavement

    A violent neo-western soap opera is stupid. Of course it is.

    Yes. Also, with all his money nobody can get him an ID and SS!!

    Hated it. Right on OP

    I tried watching it for Kelly Reilly and dropped it after two episodes. Literally just a soap opera that’s too over the top to be believable, and I can’t believe it’s so popular.

  22. Evelyn-Bankhead Avatar

    and it’s still infinitely better than 1923

  23. martlet1 Avatar

    It is. And the violent dumb show is insane. It’s like sons of anarchy burning a ranch.

    This is like a Steam review:

    Terrible game! One of the worst I have ever played.

    The food at this restaurant sucks, and the portions are too small too!

    Yeah I picked up on its BS in the first episode. Didn’t bother to watch the second one.

  27. Lastofthedohicans Avatar

    Yes I watched it twice before realizing this.

  28. AnybodySeeMyKeys Avatar

    Yes it is. We watched four episodes and couldn’t figure out what all the fuss was about.

    Watching it for the third time.. lol lol lol. And you think the show is stupid.

  30. Smitch250 Avatar

    You hate a show you’ve watched 3 times (assuming 2 times already in entirety) this is unhinged behavior of the highest level

  31. PumpkinCarvingisFun Avatar

    You mean “Downton Abbey on the Ranch”? It’s a ridiculous soap opera.

  32. oljeffe Avatar

    Taylor Sheridan was so cringe it became unwatchable for me. It was like watching a guy watching himself jerk off in a mirror. And recording it for broadcast. Not a redeeming quality in the character he wrote for himself about himself. Costner did well to get his character killed off when he did.

    Way too predictable

  34. el_payaso_mas_chulo Avatar

    The 1st episode/ 1st 5 minutes really cements how dumb it is. It got better and I watched the whole series as well, but trying to re-watch just makes me feel dumb for enjoying it the first time around.

    Is that an unpopular opinion on here? If you said this on facebook you have angry fans coming at you everywhere.
