Going on five seasons, "Yellowstone" has become an American sensation. While critics have been largely silent about the neo-Western crime drama, fans have showed up in droves to watch the Kevin Costner-led series year after year. As the show's audience grows, so do the seasons. The fifth season has been confirmed to be an extended two-parter set to take the series into uncharted territory. Created by "Hell or High Water" and "Wind River" scribe Taylor Sheridan, "Yellowstone" tells the story of the Dutton family as they fight to maintain ownership of their "Rhode Island-sized" Montana ranch.
Although the series — which often feels like "The Sopranos" and "Dallas" had a baby which was then adopted and raised by "Sons of Anarchy" — is highly popular with audiences, there are a few tired plotlines that longtime fans of the show are getting sick of. Sure, "Yellowstone" is often one of the more exciting shows on television, but that's at least partially because of the series' violent (and vulgar) nature rather than anything exceptionally groundbreaking. In fact, for as many gunshot wounds, kidnappings, bombings, and car accidents as these characters go through, it's a wonder that folks continue to take some of these plotlines seriously.
"Yellowstone" is a show that often has a lot going for it, but there are plenty of storylines that fans are ready to let go of. As one user on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/YellowstonePN/comments/z4605e/tired_of_jayce_and_his_family_facing_constant/) put it, "My suspension of disbelief only goes so far."
