    The opening episode has plenty of what fans love most – revenge, romance and remorse. ... Even though there’s plenty of “Dallas” maneuvering, you can see why the Paramount Network series is so popular. These characters don’t really care what others think. They press on and leave plenty in their wake.

    Even as "Yellowstone" remains the entertainment equivalent of a nice steak dinner – always good, always predictable, no real need to fuss with the formula – there is just the slightest hint that things are going stale in Season 5. New characters and conflicts are introduced, but they feel just a shade too repetitive of seasons past.

    Luckily, all the regular nonsense that Yellowstone is known and celebrated for remains. ... Rip gets to do a lot of yelling at his employees, there are still many horses, and my eyes still glaze over whenever anyone from Market Equities yells about the airport. It's still Yellowstone, but John just wears a lot more ties, and I guess it's hard to complain about that.

    The show does remain compulsively watchable in spite of its intensely varying stakes — there's as much weight placed on the battle for Montana real estate or corporate land pollution as there is the unexpected death of a horse. The central cast itself is as strong as they've ever been, but there are also hints of Sheridan pulling from at least one tired character archetype in Season 5 newcomer Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri).

    The sleeper stars of this first episode of season five are obviously the actors who get to play younger versions of the show’s core characters. ... Season 5 of Yellowstone, its longest yet, has the future of the Duttons, their ranch, and the complexion of the state they call home in its steady rifle sights.

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
