I would rate the first two episodes of Yellowstone a 6,5 out of 10. While the series has an interesting concept and follows the lives of the Dutton family, who own and operate the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, I found the execution to be somewhat lacking.

One issue I had with the show was the overacting of Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton. While I understand that the character is supposed to be intense and strong-willed, I felt that Reilly's performance was a bit too exaggerated at times. This may be due to the script, the character's personality, or the direction from the director, but it detracted from my enjoyment of the show.

The score for the series, which includes a theme that sounds similar to the 1969 hit single "Sympathy" by Rare Bird, is a nice touch and adds to the drama and tension of the show. This doesn't help to make up for my issues with the acting and the overall execution of the series.

Overall, while I can see the potential in Yellowstone, and the good acting of Kevin Costner, the first two episodes didn't fully deliver for me. It may still be worth checking out for fans of family dramas and intense, character-driven stories, but I would approach it with some caution.

This episode contains several different scenes with animal violence that serves no purpose towards the plot. Any average writer would've chosen something that moved the plot forward or added character growth.

Such beautiful landscape and the worst audio on television. All that doesn't need closed captioning are the livestock and the shooting. Hope it gets better but I won't be watching.

Here are some trends from the Midwest. Good guys drive pickups. You can be a screwup without money and drive an old pickup truck, or a billionnaire with a brand new pickup truck, but pickup truck is a must. Good people who have "lost their way" and "city friends" of the protagonist drive expensive American SUVs. All bad people drive (GASP) foreign SUVs. You can tell them by their satanic Range Rover Sport's. And finally, crazy daughters ride in Mercedes S-Class, the epitome of deranged mind. Next up: cattle prices.

This episode is really slow, heavy and boring. Also doesn't explain clearly how they cover the problem of a third shooter with the cremation.

I'd say don't bother...will see what 3 has to offer.
