Halfway through this (assumably) limited series, 4 out of 8 eps, and it's pretty damn good. Helen Mirren will probably win an award for this. Her character is cool. All the characters are good, and the antagonists are even well-rounded. I love a show where you don't know who to root for.

And since I'm not terribly familiar with modern day Yellowstone characters (only a few episodes into season 1) I really don't know how much of it ties together. I'm glad it can stand on its own. With that said, there's one character I definitely don't know how she fits into the story, but her plot is the most captivating. Some native girl who got processed into some sadistic catholic school. Disturbing nunsploitation. No idea where this plot/character is going though, but it's quality. Never have I wanted to beat the heaven out of some nun as much as I do here in 1923.

That reaffirms the idea that cable is obsolete. I assume you're talking about "Paramount" the channel? It's funny to think the days of scheduled entertainment are over. We had much less of a choice on what to watch, and now it can be anything at any time. I don't think movies would mean as much to me if I grew up a few years later and this whole idea was always the norm.

I'm about halfway on s1, and I think it's okay at best, not entirely gripping. I'm watching it with my mom though, and she's loving it. I'm sure it'll get better. I think most tv shows hit their stride about 6 episodes in. Otherwise, they're too much of an investment.
