Yellowstone Season 5 Hot Review
After watching the fourth season, I feel that
Yellowstone has lost its appeal.
It seems the writers have ventured into an unfamiliar domain—politics—and appear to have run out of meaningful storylines, resulting in forced and unnatural narratives. Another reason for this decline is the shift in storytelling perspective, which has transformed into a superhero-like narrative of unstoppable power, exuding an almost mafia-like atmosphere of bullying the weak.
In previous seasons, the Dutton family were tenacious landowners, diligent ranch operators. Mr. Dutton loved his family and his employees like children, maintaining a high level of audience goodwill. However, in this season, his political persona comes across as awkward and tyrannical, raising serious doubts about the creators' intentions. Moreover, Dutton's plan to protect Yellowstone is poorly written, with constant staff turnover and scattered plot lines.
Using public power to defend his private land, firing anyone who displeases him, and engaging in partisan conflicts—when these traits are applied to the protagonist, it represents a dark turn in the character. The subplots are fragmented, and character development is stagnant. Especially Beth, whose female character has become increasingly obsessive and malicious, with an overwhelming sense of possessiveness. Gone are her previous positive traits—independence, rebellious spirit, fighting attitude, and intelligence. The character's appeal has significantly diminished.
Monica, always an unpopular character, remains unchanged, stuck in a half-dead marriage and an equally lifeless state. One wonders what purpose her storyline serves. The two main female characters have been poorly developed.
The only motivation keeping me watching are the scenes in the ranch bunkhouse—the cowboys' daily labor, their playful interactions, and the breathtaking Montana landscape. These elements are now the sole bearers of the show's previous magic. Furthermore, the creators have ironically embodied the very power dynamics they initially critiqued, now writing from the perspective of the strong, winner-takes-all approach.
Have they forgotten that this was originally a story about a landowner fighting the government, a minority resisting the majority, a private business owner challenging big capital, the weak standing up against power?
