This is what I get when I look up ‘quotes from Yellowstone’ –

Why?? What’s the point? “Ooooh look at how evil I am, I am so amoral, I don’t care about anything except money and power.”

It doesn’t even advance the plot, they’re just doing it to be weird.

I made it about two minutes into that new British show about gladiators for the same reason: every single line of dialogue is like this.

    It’s the tone of that show who’s basic premise is “stubborn man tries to hold on to the past”. Another show from the same writer (prequel to Yellowstone) has a very different narrative tone. Instead of lashing out against the passage of time, it has a hopeful wonder about the future and its possibilities.

    Like God Decided To Light This Day With Candles, I Could See All Of Texas. It Was The Most Beautiful Thing I Had Ever Seen.

    Freedom. To Most, It Is An Idea, An Abstract Thought That Pertains To Control. That’s Not Freedom. That’s Independence. Freedom Is Riding Wild Over Untamed Land With No Notion Any Moment Exists Beyond The One You’re Living.

    It can also have dark narration but, at least to me, it wasn’t overtly “macho” most of the time.

    I Knew Nothing Of The Horror That Hides In Freedom’s Shadow.

    EDIT: I watched “1886” and loved it. That led me to “Yellowstone”, which I was not a fan of.
