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.
