The show

Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton gamble everything on a new life in South Texas, but the promise of building a future far from the ghosts of Yellowstone quickly collides with brutal new realities and a rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire.

The Real Review

Reactions to this Yellowstone spinoff are deeply mixed, with most finding it a shaky start. The story of Rip and Beth trying to build a new life in Texas is criticized for its slow, messy pacing and unoriginal feel, though the acting, particularly from Kelly Reilly, is seen as a bright spot. People are especially negative about the new characters and direction, with many mentions wishing for the original show's cast and creator Taylor Sheridan's touch instead. While it looks great, that's not enough to overcome the widespread feeling that this ranch is a step down.
