I happened to surf upon Yellowstone once, and didn't last more than two minutes. All they did was curse. I assume there's a storyline in there somewhere, but it wasn't worth my time to find it.
It was the goofiest plots or subplots you could imagine. Spoiler alert for anybody reading this.
They had new cowboys joining the Yellowstone ranch getting branded. Yes, like cattle. And when they left the ranch for whatever reason, the head of the Yellowstone ranch, Kevin Costner, had the brands removed and often the cowboys killed. Why, I don't know.
Every single character on the series liberally used the f word. Most of the young women were amoral tramps who, like everybody else, tossed off the f word endlessly. They had one of the lead female characters, Costner's daughter, take a bath in a water trough and then walk out naked in front of the male cowboys. I'm sure that happens at every ranch. The daughter of the owner takes a bath in a water trough and prances around naked in front of the males. Sure thing. Bah!
The series had potential for decent plots, but many plots revolved around individual characters. They had female cowboys joining the male cowboys in the bunkhouse.
I'm not a cowboy and never was one. But the series had so many ridiculous subplots and weird characters I came to despise it after a few episodes. They even had to have an episode where some trespassing white rogue bikers got in a fight with the cowboys. Made no sense whatsoever.
You know who loved it? My wife. She thought it was great.
So I had to sit through countless stupid episodes to keep the peace.
