So...where do you think this show has gone wrong?

I think many fans from the beginning are sensing the inevitable "downturn". But there's always a specific character, storyline, etc that is the starting point of the decline. What people or plot-points are marking the decline of Yellowstone for you?

As I think of some, I will put my list in here as well....

- The introduction of Teeter.
- Too many country dances and B list country artists. Seems like it's all just filler.
- The married versions of Rip and Beth. Ugh....
- All the stupid bunk-house vignettes; rife with bad acting and ridiculous, embarrassing banter.
- Politics politics politics. If anything marks the end of solid ideas, it's the introduction of politics and policy.

Too much everything. The episodes are getting too long and there's no one making decisions to cut stuff so we're left with long montages multiple times an episode. They also are focusing more on the cowboys and most of those characters are firmly in the "less is more" category.

Then you have the character of Jamie, who is not only the easiest person in the world to manipulate, but he's also incredibly dumb and is presented as the only one thinking about the future as he acts entirely in the moment without any regards for the future.

The show has run its course creatively, but will continue as long as the ratings continue to rise.

So...where do *you* think this show has gone wrong?
