    In the Season 5 premiere, Sheridan draws on his well-broken-in “Yellowstone” playbook, giving a variety of characters moments to be funny (the crew at the ranch bunkhouse), sassy (Beth’s withering putdowns of those who displease her) or warm (Rip’s sympathetic understanding of Beth). But Sheridan also indulges in a few too many speeches from John. ... If the Season 5 premiere of “Yellowstone” doesn’t exactly soar, it does serve up “Dallas”-style drama, juicy performances (particularly by Reilly) and gorgeous scenery.

    While always bordering on too melodramatic, the series was always entertaining enough to forgive some of its perhaps too over-the-top and sensational writing conveniences and contrivances. But right now, it’s stagnating. The meal is edible, and perhaps for new audiences, it’ll still taste flavorful. But if you’ve been on the ride for five seasons and know all the way this colt bucks and lurches.

    The premiere clocks in at 64 minutes and spends nearly 40 of them touching base with all the characters and indulging in moments with Yellowstone’s resident cowboy cutups before a shocking final sequence ends on a cliffhanger. ... “Yellowstone” might be losing its focus with so many characters to juggle.

    At least on the basis of the new season’s maiden installment, Yellowstone seems committed to staying the course rather than upending expectations, and while that fits with its generally soap opera-ish nature, it results in considerable torpor.

There is now about 10 minutes of good story and the rest is filler showing cowboys roping cattle, branding cattle, herding cattle, eating, listening to music, doing work and so on. Some episodes have 20 - 30 mins of this and it 100% has nothing to do with the main story. Kayce is barely in the show anymore except when he is consoling his wife. I just dont know where this series is going. I hope it improves because I dont want to have to remove it from my list.… Full Review »

    I’m just hoping these first two episodes were intentionally slow and boring. The introduction of the bad girl villain was super cringe
