Oscar and Emmy winner Kevin Costner is the marquee attraction of the ensemble cast in this drama series, starring as the patriarch of a powerful, complicated family of ranchers. A sixth-generation homesteader and devoted father, John Dutton controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. He operates in a corrupt world where politicians are compromised by influential oil and lumber corporations and land grabs make developers billions. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect, Dutton's property is in constant conflict with those it borders -- an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America's first national park.

Critics Consensus

Galloping into the arena of politics with a decidedly nonpartisan bent, Yellowstone enters uncertain territory but remains firmly in the saddle, with Kevin Costner's steadfast presence remaining an invaluable asset.

3/5

The simple truth is that it’s a lusty, larger-than-life soap opera that harks back to the big-haired prime of Dallas and Dynasty, with a hint of Cormac McCarthy’s cowboy stoicism.

B+

The series, which proved linear television could still produce a gargantuan hit, ended as it began, celebrating an idealized America where a man (always a man) can live life the way his God intended — independent and free from the tyranny of the Other.

The showrunner Taylor Sheridan has been given wide latitude to iterate on the world of the Dutton ranching family, but he’s best when honoring his Western’s melodramatic core.

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.

First 3 seasons are entertaining, season 4 starts a deep decline, and season 5 is mostly lame country music and filler side stories with last few episodes in a jumbled mess. Could have been a good series

I went in thinking, "What the heck… another cowboy Western movie or series." But I was completely wrong. I don’t know why, but I binged it from the very beginning all the way to the end without stopping. Well sometimes get a break or two. #yellowstone isn’t just a Western — it’s the ultimate Cowboy‑Family‑Mafia saga, brutal, emotional, and impossible to walk away from.

Season 5 is a complete disaster from start to finish, huge plot holes and characters were completely different to previous seasons. The scene continuity just didn't make sense, I suppose Kevin Costner put a spanner in the works but they could of done a bit better.

Just pretend this season doesn’t exist. The decline really started in season 4. Seasons 1-3 are very good, despite the gross misrepresentation of American history. I couldn’t think of a worse outcome for this show and the Yellowstone.

Yellowstone is one of those rare series that feels bigger than its plot. It is a family tragedy, a modern western, and a brutal elegy for a world built on land, blood, power, and loyalty. Kevin Costner is phenomenal as John Dutton, giving the show its hard, wounded center, but the whole cast is strong. For me, though, Kelsey Asbille is the standout. Every scene she is in feels sharper and more alive. What makes the series hit so hard is not only the drama, but the way it turns landscape, music, silence, and violence into something almost mythic. Yes, it can be excessive, repetitive, and proudly melodramatic, but that is part of its identity. It has soul, presence, and a real emotional weight that stays with you.
