The opening episode has plenty of what fans love most – revenge, romance and remorse. ... Even though there’s plenty of “Dallas” maneuvering, you can see why the Paramount Network series is so popular. These characters don’t really care what others think. They press on and leave plenty in their wake.
Even as "Yellowstone" remains the entertainment equivalent of a nice steak dinner – always good, always predictable, no real need to fuss with the formula – there is just the slightest hint that things are going stale in Season 5. New characters and conflicts are introduced, but they feel just a shade too repetitive of seasons past.

This season is just as good as the other seasons. The info to this season is a bit more slow than the other two, but the introduction of new characters and political buildup is just as strong. Top tier writing from Taylor Sheridan as always.

SEASON 5
The show does remain compulsively watchable in spite of its intensely varying stakes — there's as much weight placed on the battle for Montana real estate or corporate land pollution as there is the unexpected death of a horse. The central cast itself is as strong as they've ever been, but there are also hints of Sheridan pulling from at least one tired character archetype in Season 5 newcomer Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri).
The sleeper stars of this first episode of season five are obviously the actors who get to play younger versions of the show’s core characters. ... Season 5 of Yellowstone, its longest yet, has the future of the Duttons, their ranch, and the complexion of the state they call home in its steady rifle sights.
In the Season 5 premiere, Sheridan draws on his well-broken-in “Yellowstone” playbook, giving a variety of characters moments to be funny (the crew at the ranch bunkhouse), sassy (Beth’s withering putdowns of those who displease her) or warm (Rip’s sympathetic understanding of Beth). But Sheridan also indulges in a few too many speeches from John. ... If the Season 5 premiere of “Yellowstone” doesn’t exactly soar, it does serve up “Dallas”-style drama, juicy performances (particularly by Reilly) and gorgeous scenery.
The premiere clocks in at 64 minutes and spends nearly 40 of them touching base with all the characters and indulging in moments with Yellowstone’s resident cowboy cutups before a shocking final sequence ends on a cliffhanger. ... “Yellowstone” might be losing its focus with so many characters to juggle.
At least on the basis of the new season’s maiden installment, Yellowstone seems committed to staying the course rather than upending expectations, and while that fits with its generally soap opera-ish nature, it results in considerable torpor.
For me its Succession, Game of Thrones, The Boys, Jack Ryan and Yellowstone. Up to this point I loved this show, but this season ****. There is now about 10 minutes of good story and the rest is filler showing cowboys roping cattle, branding cattle, herding cattle, eating, listening to music, doing work and so on. Some episodes have 20 - 30 mins of this and it 100% has nothing to do with the main story. Kayce is barely in the show anymore except when he is consoling his wife. I just dont know where this series is going. I hope it improves because I dont want to have to remove it from my list.
