"Yellowstone" (https://www.looper.com/197166/the-untold-truth-of-yellowstone/) fills our screens with majestic vistas matched by over-the-top storylines. Outlandish plots and head-scratching character turns are par for the course, however, action, intrigue, and character development make up for any storyline shortcomings. The Duttons and their Yellowstone ranch invite viewers into a world of excitement, drama, and cowboy life, and we're all for it.
The series has broken TV ratings records; according to Entertainment Weekly (https://ew.com/tv/yellowstone-season-5-premiere-ratings/), the Season 5 premiere brought in a 12.1 million same-day audience, accounting for its largest viewership ever. In 2020, "Yellowstone" was, as noted by Texas Monthly (https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/yellowstone-taylor-sheridan-tv-empire/), the most viewed television show "across cable, premium, and broadcast" channels. In the years since, it has launched two spin-offs starring entertainment legends – "1883," with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and "1923," with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Two more "Yellowstone" spinoff series are even in the works. According to Variety (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/taylor-sheridan-shows-yellowstone-1932-1235235759/), series creator Taylor Sheridan has a staggering nine shows on air or in development with Paramount.
Rich characters and compelling storylines inform all of Sheridan's work, but his television empire began with the Dutton family of "Yellowstone." Throughout each season, the Duttons battle fierce enemies, fight with each other and endure trauma. "Yellowstone" may cause the Duttons to tread tangled paths, but their journeys are always entertaining and show no signs of slowing down. Because of this, we ignore the dumb things — the silly scenes and questionable plot holes — as we watch the Dutton family drama unfold.
