Yellowstone has been a fan favorite since it first aired. The show first aired on June 20 2018, and ended on December 15 2024. The mystery, the action and the loyalty which we have seen in this show is very rare. This American drama shows the struggles of modern Western life. Taylor Sheridan and John Linson were behind creating Yellowstone and they made this show for the Paramount Network.
John Dutton is the main and strong character of this show. He owns the ranch and the ranch is always in danger because people around them want it at any cost. There are many other different characters but my personal favourite were Rip and Beth.
The show shows a tough world where power and money control everything. Rich people fight to get land, politicians are easily bought, and violence is common.
Through the Dutton family’s eyes, Yellowstone shows both the good and bad sides of life in modern America.

His daughter Beth, works for one of the biggest banks in America, while his middle son, Jamie, dreams of becoming Montana’s Attorney General. The youngest, Kayce, doesn’t want to return to the ranch.
