What a pointless season. It's disappointing because I waited years for it to be released and this is what they do.

I feel I can join the dots to find out what the season finale will be awful waste really.

It was always 2 seasons of 8 episodes each, which is why I think they are grouping 7 and 8 together to make it seem special.

And with it so close to the end, I wonder if they somehow negotiated a third season before/during filming and just haven't announced it yet. I hope not, these shows do better like 1883 where they tell a complete story.

It is nothing but misery and meandering nonsense.

Agreed. They're trying to shoehorn too many storylines into the 8 episodes. At least the new series has been set. I think it's called 1944?

Yeah 1944 which follows Spencer, Then of course 6666 and The Rip and Beth Spinoff

There's also The Madison which apparently is part of the Yellow-verse but won't be about any of the stories and will be a spinoff about something else. And CBS is considering a procedural spinoff featuring Kayce.

I loved season 1, but season 2 feels like expensive mental torture porn as a viewer. “Tune in next week to see how worse it can get!”

Finally caught up. Really enjoying this series. Probably my favorite of the Yellowstones.

[R3P0]

WOW is all I can say about that ending for 1923, definitely not what I expected.

[harry o]

Decent enough finale I suppose, Dalton made a really nasty villain but the sadistic sexual moments felt somewhat unnecessary, ford and co shone though but in the end season two was far enough.

[jokerzwild]

Solid enough finale though doesn't erase the stain of the rest.

Some talented editor could fix this meandering misery porn abomination of a season to a 4 hour epic worthy of the brand. Off topic it is shocking how many times this thought pops up in the last 10 years of film and television.

[JamesKurtovich]

I loved it overall. Felt like 1923 fully embraced the soap opera elements of Yellowstone. Spencer was a flawless commando and Whitfield was a literal sadist who only missed the mustache.

this Whitfield guy , why can't he just concentrate on making money , what is with the abuse he is doing to the ladies

He was a sick bastard that deserved what he got!

The final minute or so should be edited out. Pathetic Spencer tale and the Titanic ending didn't work IMO...Just saying

Wow I loved season 1 of this show, but thought season 2 was terrible. It just got worse and worse as it went along until reaching a rushed and unsatisfying finale. This was the final season of Game of Thrones all over again for me, you could tell Sheridan just didn't care anymore. He's doing too many things and it seems like none of his shows are safe from mediocrity after their first season now.

I thought my brother summed this up nicely when he said the scene with Spencer and the kid on the train was like a metaphor for this whole show. He trades away his prized lion tooth that essentially represents everything we as an audience loved about the show, for a crappy pocket knife. It's like us trading our time and money for the promise of a great show, or in this case, a knife that might actually have meaning and serve a narrative function. Instead, it doesn't, and the kid laughs at Spencer for being a sucker, just like Sheridan is laughing at us the audience for thinking this show would actually conclude in a satisfying way. To him, though, it's likely all been a big joke, a paycheck that he's cashed and moved on from.

Helen continues to be involved in another very violent family drama in "mobland" excellent watch on paramount plus.

Good enough series finale(?) episode, but two hours felt like a bit excessive as most of it wasn't that interesting.

It's unfortunate this show's potential was wasted as it could have been so much better.
