BTW, follow up on my post #91. This is a show that you must binge. I watched it episode by episode last season, and thought it was slow and boring...as soon as it was done, we binged the whole season...what a difference.
It's been a long time since I had to wait a whole week for an episode of anything, so I just found myself getting bored with the episodes. But when you watch them back to back...it makes a huge difference.
That said, whenever this comes out, I'll watch weekly again...and then binge the season when it's all released. [Reply]

November?! damn it all to hell :-) (oh well, as the old saying goes "Good things come to those who wait")
Taylor Sheridan is a flat out machine and I have no clue how he finds time to sleep. Wasn't impressed at all by his sophomore directorial effort (Those Who Wish Me Dead starring Angelina Jolie) BUT holy crap, the rest of his work is aces! ( his directing debut film called Wind River was outstanding, he also wrote the script for that as well. His script for Hell or High Water remains one of my favorites of the past decade and then there are his scripts for Sicario and its sequel. Talented as hell all around) [Reply]
Just getting on this train. So far, I hate the entire Dutton family, every single one. There is not one character on this show that is a sympathetic character, except possibly Dan Jenkins and "maybe" Rip, but fucking hell, even those guys will shoot you straight in the back. John is basically a mob boss, Jamie is a spineless coward that refuses to stand on his own in spite of being the most able, Kayce is noble guy that chooses to take the loser route no matter where he goes, and Beth is the smoking hot bitchy girl that is easy to hate because she hates everyone.
Great show though, haha.
*EDIT - Jimmy might be the sympathetic character, but he has GOT to get his shit together, lol.
**EDIT pt.2 - I'm halfway through the second season [Reply]

Wow you're harsh lol, to me they're just fighting fire with fire and trying to hold their own
But how about Walker the singing cowboy for a likeable character?
Recruited straight out of prison, banged Beth almost immediately which pissed off Rip, and was always reluctant to commit all of the brands criminal acts... poor guy tried to scram, but they roped him right back in [Reply]

Yeah, he just wants to get back to life, but he picked the wrong ranch lol. I get the feeling he's going to make a re-appearance down the road at some point. [Reply]

I think this is in part purposeful.
The 'saga' of the Duttons in the mind of Sheridan is to tell the story of a family with some harsh and uncompromising perspectives, then let you decide for yourself whether those perspectives are merited.
Whether John is right to be a mob boss. Whether Jamie is right to try to find a weaselly way out. Whether Beth is right to be openly angry and resentful at the whole mess. Whether Kayce's idealistic rejection is the right way to respond, etc.
With land and power comes pushback, opposition, usurpers, etc. Is it worth it to try to hold it all together, and how far will you go.
That's the story.
You're not supposed to automatically like anyone, so much as see how complex the situation is, and how realistically drawn people might respond. [Reply]
