r/YellowstonePN

Hey,

so i am a really annoying, left leaning person. like, i will comment on every tv show/movie how something aligns with xyz-ideology and am very sensitive in that way. now, i am not claiming that there is nothing to criticize about yellowstone but i saw a lot of people calling the show conservative, right leaning and even as perpetuating right wing ideology. and i don’t see that at all?

like, for example the brutality of the dutton family: the show makes it very clear to me that that’s not good. sure, the characters themselves align with it, but the show doesn’t portray them as aspiring. it’s not like beth is portrayed as someone you should necessarily life advice from.

speaking of beth: the scene where she gets assaulted? amazing. it is one of the very few times in television where the victim doesn’t at all have to be portrayed as a „good“ victim. where she fights back but that doesn’t take away from her pain. i loved it.

also the way we see hell of indigenous culture in a non fetishized way. also the way cultural appropriation is adressen when monica gets accused of stealing in that store that sells indigenous styles.

there are a couple things wrong with it. i am not a fan of the hyper masculine and patriarchal scenes, sure. but in comparison to what most of classically left-signaling shows do it‘s amazing!

so i just wanted to hear some of y’all thoughts on it. and how you categorize it. or maybe if some of you tend to more conservative /right wing values you could tell me how you think the show reflects them! that would be really helpful!

thank you all in advance!

So I'm still only on season 2 of the show so maybe the future will tell me more but idc about spoilers here so, by lurking around in this sub, I already found out the gigantic reason for the beef between Beth and Jamie.

Regardless of whether I think it's a good take story wise, I'd like to know if you think that Beth might've forgave Jamie had he expressed genuine contrition, or if she would've hated him even more for it?

Because thus far, I'm still on the fence. At the beginning of the show, they have an antagonistic relationship but Beth doesn't seem to mind too much being in his vicinity (she calls for him to pick her up when she's drunk for example) and he doesn't act very apologetic (he's superbly annoyed and even criticise her whenever he can).

I feel like there's something missing. And then even have a "moment" of sort in Jamie's car after he picked her up where there's almost tenderness on his part AND she accepts it (seemingly).

I thought sons of anarchy was a waste time, it still is, but this 10x more. At least SOA was funny cause of how shitty it was. But this is just bad

This entire show is so corny, the acting, the characters.

Not gatekeeping either but as someone who spent significant time in Texas that teeter character, omg what an over the top, exaggerated horrible accent.

I am proud of myself for not finishing the series/wasting any more of my time. I had such high hopes for Yellowstone because of how good 1883 was and everyone telling me how good it was. What a let down.

I never been to Montana, I'd like to one day for nature. I heard that a bunch of people from Montana hate the show and I side with them, I can see why.

I need to read some books to fix my brain.

Ist euch das auch aufgefallen? Die neue Version beginnt mit einer Szene, die mich stark an die Flussüberquerung aus „1883“ erinnert. Eine Familie zieht mit ihrem Hab und Gut durch die Wildnis und dann taucht auch noch das Klavier auf.

Das Klavier erinnert mich sofort an die Szene aus „1883“, wo es ebenfalls eine besondere Bedeutung hatte. Zufall oder eine bewusste Anspielung? 👀

Hat die Produktion hier vielleicht ein kleines Easter Egg für Western-Fans eingebaut? Oder interpretiere ich da zu viel hinein?

Was meint ihr?

Right? Coolest guy ever Travis? Best character.

Any chance they bring back his character? He is the reason I watch it. He is such a fascinating character in the show. I always felt Beth was extremely hard on him, for one mistake and he did seem to care about others in a way I felt he cared for Beth…I know he’s dead but hey anything possible maybe something happens.

As I watched season 1 wrap up, with all the shenanigans on the 12p ranch or whatever it’s called. I keep thinking about the name of the show. They didn’t call it “Beth and Rip” or “The Wheelers”, it’s specifically about that little poe dunk ranch. So whatever is happening at the 10J ranch is temporary, at best.

How does everyone think that plays out? What about the Dutton Ranch becomes important in season 2?

Am I the only one that hates this casting?? I think they absolutely NAILED Josh Lucas as young John and Kyle Red Silverstein as young Rip but I think they absolutely bombed Kylie Rogers as young Beth. She’s just a terrible actress and I cringe at all of her scenes it’s so forced IMO

How does Tate go from 3 to 18 in five seasons, while all the adults haven’t aged a day? Is it just me? 😂

C U N T.
Why do people tolerate her? She threatens everyone, smokes in their offices and assaults people constantly and no one does ANYTHING. She threatened to kill Jamie and wonders why her dad ends up dead? You reap what you sow. Now she assumes Jaime killed her dad without any proof. She was always the threat, not John

I’m really glad Taylor Sheridan is coming back as the creative force behind Season 2. Season 1 just didn’t feel like the Rip and Beth we knew from Yellowstone. They were on screen a lot, but it felt like they had taken a backseat to their own story. Rip seemed more defensive than commanding, Beth lost a lot of the fire and unpredictability that made her such a compelling character, and the overall tension just wasn’t there. In Yellowstone, they drove the story and kept you on the edge of your seat. In Dutton Ranch Season 1, something felt missing. Maybe Taylor Sheridan’s reduced creative role had something to do with it, maybe not, but I’m optimistic that with him back leading the creative direction, Season 2 will bring back the intensity, grit, and unforgettable storytelling that made us fall in love with these characters in the first place. Anyone else feel the same way?
