The Review

Yellowstone is the most-watched show on cable television in the 2020s. Taylor Sheridan's saga of the Dutton family defending their Montana ranch from developers, politicians, and rival landowners brought the Western back to mainstream relevance. Kevin Costner's John Dutton is a patriarch so commanding that the show struggled to survive his departure. It proved that rural America had an appetite for prestige drama.

Fun Fact

Yellowstone's Season 5 premiere drew over twelve million viewers, making it the most-watched cable premiere since The Walking Dead's peak years.
