This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't recall another show that was both so excellent and at the same time so horrible.
The scenery (especially in Africa scenes) was breathtaking.
The wild animal scenes were thrilling
But the cruelty of the nuns and priests at the Indian Schools was grossly overdone. Yes, some were that cruel but not EVERY ONE OF THEM. And the torture scenes were unnecessarily overdone.
The two young lover interests (as was the case with the young female lead in 1883) weren't believable. All the women in the Yellowstone (today) series are much more believable.
And, perhaps most sadly, I found Harrison Ford to be far less tough and in control that either Costner or Sam Elliot or McGraw.
I was also hoping for an excellent performance by Helen Mirren, but found it to be uninspired and stiff.
Perhaps it was the directing, but I watched the whole thing, I was disappointed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline that follows the original 1923 is fantastic.
I feel like the writers got lazy with the prostitutes and spanking scenes, the drinking champagne off each other while nude, and the unneeded sex scenes.
Feels like they are trying to follow Game of Thrones to see how many scenes with boobs they can get into the show. None of the scenes progressed the storyline and just filled up time with unneeded crap scenes.
Hopefully future episodes cut out the sex scenes and nude scenes that are not helpful to the storyline.

I'm enjoying this series quite a bit and I have not yet even seen Yellowstone. Harrison Ford and Hellen Mirren are fantastic, the writing is good, and the production values are of cinematic quality. I recommend it.

This is pretty bad. The story is convoluted, although it is supposed to be a continuation of 1883 up to Yellowstone (another soap opera). The acting is unbelievable and Han Solo looks really bad trying to act tough. When will this HollywoodThis is pretty bad.

When will this Hollywood trip end? Our view is "don't waste your time." Expand

Not as great as 1883 but a quick watch that provides context to the overall series. Expectations don't need to be high on this one. Just provide more background to the people we've already met.

It's return to the Dutton family again..Like they can't squeeze in another generation. This time 2 of Hollywoods own can do no wrongs play the leads. Well, it's like they put an old boxing ring in town and got dressed by designer HollywoodIt's return to the Dutton family again..Like they can't squeeze in another generation. This time 2 of Hollywoods own can do no wrongs play the leads. Well, it's like they put an old boxing ring in town and got dressed by designer Hollywood stylists. Just not very believable. The story line is....you guessed it! Bad nuns, good Indians, bad sheep hearders and good Duttons. Yawn... but like said, no matter how diluted, there will nothing but rave reviews for 2 of their own.... Expand

One of the best show I even see. Harrison Ford is the man with hat one more time. Hellen Miren is real wild west's woman. Taylor Sheridan's next masterpice !

Crazy amount of money spent on each episode and the Africa scenes are amazing. Love Hank Ford in any role and he is decent as the aging but hard owner of the Dutton ranch. Not as good as 1883.

Taylor Sheridan delivers again, picking a monumental period in history. This entire season is set in an amazing era when the ancient world fell away and the roller coaster ride toward modernity began. We can see the seeds of the world todayTaylor Sheridan delivers again, picking a monumental period in history. This entire season is set in an amazing era when the ancient world fell away and the roller coaster ride toward modernity began. We can see the seeds of the world today being sown, and of course, the writers take pains to inject wisdom and warnings about the state of affairs today, especially freedom of thought, speech and the pursuit of happiness. The Dutton family is aptly tough as nails, a clear carry over from the struggles of 1883 and carry forward to the ongoing saga of Yellowstone. Salute to Taylor’s courage to explore the painful history of North America after the physical genocide of natives, namely their cultural genocide through church schools, associated humiliation, and many unmarked graves. This issue has barely been addressed in popular media. More historical wrongs are unearthed every year, so this issue needs to be highlighted and reconciled. The Kenya storyline is sweeping and romantic, taking me back to the glory of Out of Africa. Having spent my childhood there, I was enamoured by the accuracy and authenticity of the storyline. The great pains taken to reproduce Africa of the period were truly impressive. The romance between Spencer and Alexandra is for ages and makes one feel alive, and immersed in destiny. The calibre of the acting is just top class, especially from Ford, Mirren and Dalton. What gravitas and finesse. It is clear this tale is a multi-season arc of survival and greed, of revenge and ambition. Can’t wait to see it unfold. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, skip anything to do with the Indian School. Not part of the story. Just anti-white propaganda. Most of the men are idiots, women are the smart/strong ones. Some of the episodes are entertaining but it's not really worth it. Expand
