Yellowstone is amazing. Has anyone else seen it?

I've watched all four seasons and I'm still not sure about it!

It's an interesting and real-life conflict (the competing and conflicting interests in the land and the changing of scenic rural areas as rich city folk move in), but it's a bit over the top with the Dallasesque melodrama and violence.

The presence of Kevin Costner definitely helps.

The wife is from that part of the world, and the landscape is every bit as stunning in real life as it is on the show.

I love it. Rip is possibly the best character Ive ever seen in any TV show.

Class, it is a part of the world I would love to visit.

She can keep the gloves? On !! Hope she comes up to Waterstones for book signing  :)
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

She won't have felt the benefit when she  went outside afterwards

The Watcher on Netflix. Started out decent I thought. Plenty of guessing as to what was true and what was going on. Totally disappointed with how it ended.

That's good to know. I didn't even like how it started so good to know it doesn't get better.

It's very decent, but inevitably turns into soap opera.

Yup. Stunning cinematography. Rip is an amazing protagonist and antagonist in one. The end of s3 is extraordinary. But the storyline as a constant circle of "someone trying to take their land, nearly doing so, then seen off in an epic bloody battle, which is miraculously is never investigated by legal authorities" is really not much of an upgrade on Phil and Grant holding their grip on the Queen Vic.

That said I'll be tuning in again avidly next week. Can't get enough of Rip doing his thing in great wide open.

Inside Man on BBC. 4 part series. What a strange show. A prison/crime series that didn't appear to want to take itself too serious.

On Netflix: Travelin' Band, the story of Creedance Clearwater Revival. Some great old concert footage on it.
What a voice John Fogerty has.
