Kinda shocked there isn't a thread yet. This blew me away. Season 1 was great, but season 2.... I can recall very few 'sit up and pay attention' moments in my tv-watching career, and episode 6 had me sitting up and paying attention throughout its entirety.

Art has to be what I want it to be and resolve what I want it to resolve to be “good”

I stopped after episode 3 then just read recaps on wiki. I’ll (probably) finish it when season 4 drops, since I’ll have mostly forgotten S3, but I don’t know. I’m done with trauma-porn at this point.

There's trauma porn and there's trauma porn. Yellowstone is the former; this is the latter.


Just now got around to watching season 2 and holy **** episode 6 is one of the worst things I've ever watched. Felt like it was a 3 hour episode. Jamie Lee Curtis blew the role away in both appearances. Its such a stressful show where everyone is awful and nothing ever happens, then you get this little piece of perfection and that is what keeps me watching. The end of Richies episode leading into the chocolate covered banana really got me. Oliver Platt delivers such a subtle yet impactful moment.

I've heard enough about season 3 that I'm really not looking forward to watching it. I didn't even enjoy most of season 2

It sounds like you don't watch things to enjoy them but to experience them, season 3 is a thing to be experienced even if the flavour is less.... sharp, perhaps, than season 2. It's still a very well-made show with compelling storyline and cast and everything, just season 3 is less pizzazzy, and season 2 set the bar higher than it would ever be likely to retain in season 3.

Interestingly you nailed that season 3 is an experience. I find its more pizzazzy though, oozing style over substance.
