Isn’t this the expected outcome anyway if Daddy Costner bows out?

I think it was to end as money disputes and Costner not returning

I can’t remember how the story finished at the season mid point but they could have just ended it. The story was really light this season or was just swamped under call outs to spinoffs In the end each season seems to be “New guy shows up with money. Wants to develop the area around the ranch. Family infighting. Some dick measuring with the Dutton’s and developer. Some legal and illegal stuff happens. Duttons win. Have covered their asses just enough.” Rinse, repeat.

Clareman

Beth and Rip leading the show, it's more a soap than a show at this stage but ultimately Sheridon owns the rights, has a sweet deal with the TV stations, gets to double dip as an actor when it suits him and has all the sets setup for production with great grants. This cash cow isn't going anywhere until it's drained dry.

Agent Coulson

Final season starts November 10th.

So only on Paramount initially?

cobham

No news on whether RTE will pick up final episodes?

They're hardly going to show the first 5 1/2 seasons and not finish it

They started season 5 part 1 two months after it premiered so that would be January.

Although the current run of repeats on Sundays won't finish till next March.

I cant see the show lumbering long for that much longer without Costner. Would be like Dallas without JR. Even one episode with the Dad shows how uninteresting his kids are.

Agent Coulson

Taylor Sheridan owns the 6666 ranch he and a few other investors bought it for $320m that why it's getting so much screen time.

Robert2014

Its like one big advert for the 6666 ranch at this stage.

Homelander

I absolutely hate the Beth Jamie arc.

That whole storyline is beyond absurd.

Jack Daw

I won't be able to watch it as I'm not paying for Paramount Plus so I'll have wait for the DVD to come out but they had a real opportunity the way the last season end to do a season about them going down to Oklahoma (or wherever) and living out in the wilds while looking out for the cattle. I'd love of they did something like that as I always thought the episodes where they focussed on them being cattlemen were the best ones.

OmegaGene

the latest episode was very good

Pentecost

Aside from Jamie continuing to be without doubt the stupidest attorney general of all time it wasn't bad.

riddles

Was the whole series (5) not already screened on RTE

Jamie is a broken man always being controlled by someone wether it’s Beth his adopted father his real father or the woman with the bullet in her head, that’s the reason he was pushed away from Yellowstone and the idea was for his adoptive father to control him like a puppet whilst he was attorney general and then maybe governed I think

Shredding papers was funny, has he never watched csi when they put the paper together 🤣

Jamie's storyline is pretty pathetic. I think the actor does as much as he can with the bad writing for his character. But pulling a gun on a child, it's hard to know who to root for in the show anymore.

cobham

When are RTE going to show final episodes?

Homelander

That latest episode was terrible. Between that episode and the last episode of Lioness S2, Taylor Sheridan seems to have an enormous ego.

2nd last episode of the show and whole thing is focused on how amazing Travis is, even Rip is acting out of character and gushing over Travis like he wants to bang him.

Jamie continues to alternate between being shrewd and intelligent, and being a blatantly oxygen deprived moron. The writing for him in particular is just so pathetic, actor doing the best he can but it's infuriating.

I can't see this heading to a satisfying conclusion. Unless Beth and Jamie pull a Jamie/Cersei Lanister and drive a car off a cliff together.

he's at the same s**t in Lioness s2

Sudden Valley

Sad to see how far the quality of Yellowstone has dropped. I think Sheridan is stretched too thin and that is ruining a lot of his shows. I guess he wants to make money, own ranches etc. but he is a good writer but he is not showing that now.

Romario11

Its as dull as a dishwasher now. Indulgent drivel, sad indeed to see it go like this.

irishchris

Loads here slating the show. That's fair if that's what they think but to me of all TV I have seen in the last 45 years is the saddest, down to earth perfect finale to a show I have ever seen.

Homelander

Thought it was pretty much bottom of the barrel drivel myself to be honest, not even going to go into it properly but more holes than a chain link fence, completely predictable from start to finish, and overall just half-baked and unsatisfactory.

Anyway, my Yellowstone journey ends here. At least, in terms of going forward, I most definitely won't be watching the Rip and Beth spin off, but I will watch season 2 of 1923.

Will also rewatch 1883 at some point, probably the best thing he's ever done….baffling that he can simultaneously produce such top quality and terrible TV.

El Gato De Negocios

One of the worst finales I've ever watched, the very definition of filler from start to finish. Enjoyed it immensely up til the mid season interval but jaysis the second half has imo been utter drivel.

Sudden Valley

I think it's more disappointment than vitriol. The show would be a classic if it had maintained the quality of the first two seasons.

El Gato De Negocios

My judgement of a show is whether I will ever watch it from start to finish again. I've watched the likes Sopranos and Oz 5 + times at this stage, Breaking Bad and the Shield at least 2 or 3, I'll never watch YS again. I'd put it in the same bracket as something likes Sons of Anarchy, enjoyable but utter tosh overall.

autogrow

really enjoyed it from day one hardly tosh

Pentecost

I enjoyed the show over the course of its run but I thought the second half of this season was very weak. I'm no expert on the US tax system but I'd imagine the IRS would have had something to say about being done out of probably hundreds of millions of dollars.

Then the Jamie business. They made such a big deal of the corporate big bad having tapes of him and the lawyer going at it and then it's never mentioned again. He can just claim he wasn't shagging her and they're nowhere to be seen. Then Beth croaks out some obvious stuff about checking for companies in the dead lawyer's name. Oh wow thanks Beth, you're so smart and hot and tough! Our crack detectives would never have thought of that. I doubt I'll bother watching any sequel spin offs.
