Big fuck you to Taylor Sheridan- that massive ego and his little shrimp dick ruined a great show and left a massive whole in my heart and everyone's who enjoyed the show for many years. Because of him, the biggest star and the main character had to leave the show, he beefed with everyone else as well and unfortunately the show was the biggest sufferer in this.
The first half, which was in 2022, was pretty much great, still riding the highs of other seasons and up and coming other prequels and spin-offs. This year's half is unfortunately a mess- quickly made up, for the show to end even quicker. It’s Taylor Sheridan show now, for him to show his fake ass muscles and abs, for him to show off what a cool-guy he is and that he can pull a Bella Hadid- wtf was that episode man, the cringe was over the roof! Not even going to talk about the product placement and him milking his own ranch in the show- what a man-child!
This season was held together by Kelly Reilly as Beth, Luke Grimes as Kayce and Cole Hauser as Rip- without them this wouldn't be anything anyways! Even though Kevin Costner was in the first half of the show, it was clear to see that he was being written out and that something was off. How he was written out of the show was disgusting as well, ughhh I am getting mad while writing this.
The second half was obviously a rush and the first few episodes were hard to watch, because it had been two years since and I did not remember a thing, and then they also showed the past and the present at the same time and I was EVEN MORE confused. So I was like fuck it, imma rewatch the whole goddamn show again. I waited to watch the final episode until I watched all again, and the second half was a bit better on the second watch.
Thank god Jamie was offed, but I did not like it that it was so quick, but Beth will always be The One! It was weird to see the ranch being sold to the literal character that they were fighting during season 1-3, but at least they got the land back and that ending broke me- I did cry and now I want to rewatch 1883 and 1923 fully before new season of that airs.
Very fucking sad that it ended the way it did, because this show was my everything when I started watching it in 2022..one last big FUCK YOU Taylor Sheridan!
