Reply to comment by Frangiblepani in ‘1923’: Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone’ Prequel Gets December 18, 2022 Premiere Date On Paramount+ by DemiFiendRSA

He already has. The last season of Yellowstone had alot of shark jumping, and his Angelina Jolie movie was very unmemorable. I'd like to see him pull back a bit and get back to the Sicario/Hell or High Water/Wind River level of writing he's capable of.

Your mistake is thinking that the last season was supposed to be a TV show. He bought the 6's ranch and the show has basically turned into an advertisement for the ranch and that style of horse riding in general. Those montages of horses quickly stopping and spinning in place got old real fast.

That makes a lot of sense because that shit is completely terrible and I couldn't even finish last season.

They're doing a spinoff on the 6's ranch, featuring Jimmy. I really wouldn't have minded something like a backdoor pilot, but it felt most of last season of Yellowstone was just to promote the spinoff. I like Jimmy, but it was so annoying and made it hard to watch.

It was promoting his other shows a bit too much tbh.

I don't think that's happening anytime soon. TV is way too lucrative for him to go back to movies, as much as I'd love to see that happen.

And the show he did with Jeremy Renner was such a fucking dud.

I know Agent gave a good recommendation, I just wanted to second him. It's really good. I found the premise going in initially confusing, I wasn't sure what was going on, but it makes sense very quickly and keeps getting better. The penultimate episode (and the finale too) is insane.

Just watched and finished it a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was great minus a few flaws. Not the greatest thing in the world but I thought it was worth my time, unlike many shows on streaming services. At least give it a try if you're into crime (like The Wire, Sopranos etc). It's getting a second season as well so it must have at least met expectations from the Paramount higher ups.

Sounds like something I'd be into, I'll probably start it this weekend.

It isn't at all. It is redundent as hell, I don't know how many times we saw Renner have a meeting with this drug dealer in his front yard. There was this entire storyline involving the love interest that was just so fucking pointless.

Over all it was 3 episodes of typical low life shit dragged out over way too many episodes.

Gotcha. It's weird, I want to give all Sheridan stuff a go because I absolutely love his movies.

But Yellowstone was....ridiculous honestly. The son has like 10 once in a lifetime things happen to him in the first season alone. I couldn't get to the second season.
