I did 5 or so episodes of Yellowstone on a plane. I just couldn't.
Kevin Costner's character is nearly a billionaire, with more land than Rhode Island. But he'll murder and kill to protect it from legal claims around it. And he'll find disenfranchised young men, separate them from their families, mentally and physically abuse them, brand them with his name, tell them no one will love them the way his family does, and brainwash them. That's the nxvim playbook. It's literal cult behavior.
Yet the show seems to want you to root for him and his family, unlike Succession, where the show wants you to enjoy their fuck ups and misery
