Yellowstone....
I've heard it's really good, I started watching it and I'm 3 episodes in. Is it worth continuing on with?
It's not 'bad' but I find myself already being a tad irritated by the writing. Too many coincidences happening for my liking. For instance, when the youngest Dutton is about to confess to his wife what he did, that trailer just happens to explode not only exactly while they happen to be driving by, but also exactly the same time he just starts to confess.
Then later when he's driving by that van with his boy, gets in a confrontation with those kidnappers, because that's what kidnappers do right? Just barely pull off the road and sit in the wide open while attempting to do whatever it is they were going to do with that girl. Then as he chases after the kidnapper that runs, he puts his kid in the culvert....just happens to be a rattlesnake in the culvert right? And the snake goes after the kid because that's what rattlesnakes do right? No, it's not.
So than at the end of the episode, after they burn and bury the kidnappers bodies, whaddaya know....a surveying crew all of a sudden drives off the road right where that all happened, in the middle of nowhere, and start heading straight for the EXACT spot where the hole was dug? lol
Just too many stupid coincidences so far. Kind of reminding me of Sons of Anarchy, where they always had #### going wrong out of nowhere and the main characters were always putting out constant fires everywhere that kept popping up one after another. It can be entertaining, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood for that type of show to be honest. To me it's lazy writing. You don't need weird unrealistic coincidences to be constantly happening to create a good drama IMO.
