      Yellowstone: Season 1 Reviews

      The reason we crack a beer to enjoy “Yellowstone” is to take in the beautiful landscapes, from the mountains to the rivers, providing natural beauty in contrast to the bloody, human-made crimes.

      Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 22, 2023

      Yellowstone only debuted in the summer of 2018, but it’s already outdated to call it a mere TV show. The vast and ever-expanding world, helmed by creator Taylor Sheridan, can now be considered a proper universe.

      Set against a gorgeous backdrop of mountains, rivers, and lush valleys...

      It’s entertaining and addictive, but the first few episodes are densely packed with characters and plot, so you really need to pay attention until you figure out who is who.

      It's hard not to get swept up into this binge-worthy cowboy saga.

      It has everything you want in a drama series. Good acting, steady pace, competent action, just enough romance, and an edge.

      This is an intriguing family affair.

      Few characters here are particularly likable or compelling.

      [Yellowstone] sharply observes every political intrigue and new business that alter consciences and modify ancestral traditions, and describes with precision the main family conflicts of the story. [Full Review in Spanish]

      Yellowstone gets bogged down in minutia and politics, and generally winds up being about as exciting as watching a zoning-commission meeting.

      Yellowstone sure is pretty, but you wouldn't want to live there.

      Full Review | Original Score: C- | Jul 8, 2019

      Yellowstone, for all of its flaws -- there are actors who are miscast and story angles that feel contrived -- presents a fatalistic look at a land and people where the answer is "no."

      Full Review | Jul 8, 2019

      Yellowstone, a series that begins as a ponderous horse opera and develops into a somewhat preposterous soap opera.

      Full Review | Jul 8, 2019

      Yellowstone's series premiere offers plenty of reasons to be hopeful about how the rest of this season's going to go. The show's biggest assets are its cast and its premise.

      If these cowboys respect hard work, loyalty, and driving a doggone Ford, why are there so many overtly silly things?

      Full Review | Original Score: 4.7 | Jan 3, 2019

      Aiming for iconic modern Western status, with a star that lives and breathes that stuff, Yellowstone ends up being more of a poor man's Dallas with few bubbles in the soap, if you know what I mean?

      This new drama captures its own unique environment but oftentimes stumbles over its own ambitions.

      Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/4 | Nov 25, 2018

      In our modern era of global interconnectivity, the episodic premises of Yellowstone play out like a breath of fresh mountain air.

      Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 5, 2018

      It offers more of the same when it comes to tycoons on TV, but with a welcome change of genre and locale. With shorter episodes it could turn into quite the entertainment. It is a big show with large potential.

      It's a lot of pushing and pulling, narratively speaking, but the cinematography is gorgeous, the acting is great, and while the characters still fit into neat little archetypes, that's likely to change over the course of the season as it evolves.
