any members in Montana

I was afraid to ask him for any...

He could be a real him about things.

I guess that might be like asking "does a cocaine bear $h!t in the woods?"

and the violence and body count and familial dysfunction are maybe a little bit exaggerated at times.

right there you completely lost me.

Feel free to read past my feeble attempt at facetiousness on to the rest of my post, which is where my point resided 

Ah yes, the politics ruffled many a feather. But in fairness, at its heart the show is more old-school libertarian than anything else such as the sort that triggers a lot of folks these days. The broad Republican brush it was painted with wasn’t entirely fair, or accurate.

@devinplombier , I am quite familiar with how, in general, Montana leans politically. That truly has nothing to do with my dislike for that series.

The fact that it was the most-watched series in the US (despite being absolutely ignored by the media) goes to show that it was good at entertaining all kinds of folks in a very broad cross-section of modern America.

And I am pretty sure that in a previous post, or more than one previous post, I made the concession that I was in the clear minority on this one. I cannot explain why I watched as many episodes as I did before I stopped watching. Sometimes I will watch something simply because I am fascinated by how bad it is. I will also reluctantly confess that at one time in my life I watched professional "wrestling," and I think a fair comparison can be made between Yellowstone and professional "wrestling" except that there is probably more potential for serious accidental injury in professional "wrestling." The plot-lines/scripts are equally as ridiculous but the acting, in general, is probably a bit better on Yellowstone, so at least I’ll give them that much credit.

Same here! 🤣
