Yellowstone: Season Three

Love this series so far. New season 4 is in production. Kevin Costner has another great project. Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, head of the family and he knocks it out of the park. So far this has been the most explosive season. Kelly Reilly is electrifying as Beth Dutton. This is a show about holding on to the Dutton farm and all those who try to take it from them. A promise John Dutton made to his deceased father to hold the land is a promise to be kept at all costs. There's the Indian nation who wants the Dutton Ranch and all it's land back for their people. They feel the land is rightfully theirs and modern day chief who's educated, smart, and resourceful played by Gil Birmingham (known for his role on the Twilight series). The Dutton's family members are flawed by the loss of their mother when the children were very young. The siblings family dynamics come into play throughout the series so far and season 3 answers some of the questions about those dynamics. Then there's the relationship between the family and Rip Wheeler as the head foreman. Rip is loyal to John Dutton and the family and his complicated relationship with daughter Beth Dutton. This is a show not to be miss and never will disappoint.

Great series!

Great for binge watching. Good story line and extras. Would not have thought to mention the DVDs play all the way through without freezing/skipping until I got Season 4. It freezes 2-3 times per episode and there are 15 episodes in that package. So, season 3 is great. The extras are worth watching afterward. We'll worth the price, especially without the aggravation of the Season 4 set I got.

Love the series

I haven't been a Kevin Costner fan. I never liked or disliked him, but I thought he did good in many earlier films. I also thought he was well-cast in The Company Men, Superman (as the adopted father of Superman), and Jack Ryan Recruit. In those roles he was a sort of backyard character and I thought he did well in those roles for a big name actor like him. But I love Costner in Yellowstone! It's a role made for him. John Dutton is the largest ranch owner in America. But his family is falling apart. His daughter is full of hate, one of his son has a marriage that's on the brink of falling apart. And another son has a secret that may tear him apart. Considering Dutton's ranch is trying to be taken from under his nose by a slick-educated Native American, it's all he can do to keep his sanity. Now he's got to deal with a corporation that have their sights set on Dutton's ranch, and it's all he can do to stay a law-abiding citizen to keep his home intact. But playing by the rules, following the letter of the law, and being nice is not how John Dutton got where he is today, and everyone is going to learn in America, no one takes another man's land. My wife and I bought seasons 1,2, and 3 and watched them back to back. We were not disappointed. Can't wait for season 4. This series is a modern western. Sort of like Longmire, except more drama and dark. There's humor in it too, and you won't be able to stop watching once you start.

Love it

This is one of those shows that you can binge-watch again and again! Great show!

Excellent writing. Polished use of symbolism (not overt and clunky). I already loved the program, but during COVID, I especially appreciate stories in distant and picturesque settings to which we cannot currently travel! (Escape!) -Nice to learn more about different cultures and lifestyles within our country. The Rip and Jamie characters are especially well drawn. ALL of the actors are pitch perfect. Music is on point, as well. Costumes, especially Beth's, are just wonderful. Will Patton is quietly terrifying.... (!) I can't wait to see what's next, in season 4. -Am especially curious about the boy looking for lug nuts and Rainwater's new advisor. (trying not to spoil too much--), but I think the writers could do a lot with them. The Duttons are engaging, so we pull for them despite their ruthless shortcomings. As the seasons progress, I feel more and more Shakespearean tragic aspects....
