Pop and I finished the Yellowstone series last year. We enjoyed it. The series centers around the Dutton family who owns the Yellowstone ranch and have to fight external forces who want to take their land and their way of life. It's hard not to side with them no matter how brutal they are in the defense of their land. Wyoming is beautiful and who doesn't dream of doing something so simple as raise cattle and be left alone to enjoy life in such a setting.
It's not a series for the faint of heart, but the western appeal and drama easily suck you in. The characters are easy to like in spite of their ways. They do a great job giving them each their story whether it's the extend storylines around the family, or the ranch hands or the characters from the local Reservation. Good series have good characters and good acting and Yellowstone has both. Kevin Costner obviously stands out amongst the cast, but you'll end up invested in the majority of the characters making up this story. And if you're a guy, you'll want to want to be Rip Wheeler by the time it's over. And if you're a lady, you'll want your guy to be Rip Wheeler by the end of it.
The 5 seasons of Yellowstone are drama from the start. There are so many who want their land for their own reasons, and they'll do anything to get it. That's where it gets "fun". I recommend Yellowstone but again there is a brutality to the show that may not be for everyone.
The Yellowstone 1883 television series is one of my favorite series of all-time. This one isn't as good as that one in my opinion, but again I give Yellowstone my stamp of approval. I believe it is streaming on Peacock now. Tomorrow, I'll take a look at Yellowstone 1923.
I signed up for Peacock two Black Fridays ago to watch this show and the spinoffs, but I haven't gotten around to doing it. But everyone who has told me about it has enjoyed it. My brother also said he enjoyed 1883 the best too.
