To me Lopez painted women and indigenous people as irrational, incompetent, and impulsive
-Both female lead detectives were terrible at their jobs. Couldn't figure out that a dozen random cleaning ladies stormed the station on initial investigation. Couldn't figure out the caves were under the station when they had a map. Killed or attacked the domestic violence guys in the only other cases we saw them investigate. Let the cleaning ladies go. Encouraged the coverup of the elder Prior's death
-Cop and her sister commit suicide because they see ghosts. To me it is insulting to portray that suicide is a noble death for the indigenous women and they did it twice!
-Cleaning ladies find a drill bit six years after the fact and decide storming the station and killing the ALL the scientists is the way to go without any evidence which scientists actually killed Annie

The most redeeming characters were the young male cop (killed his dad), Rose (disposed of bodies) and the bar guy.

Agreed. Women characters were all emotionally driven or nutty (Rose). Except for the mine president, who was portrayed as business-minded (of the male world).

Don't forget the mine president was corrupt and murderous.

While I think this season was flawed, I think it was partly to do with the fact they had fewer episodes than the previous seasons, they had to jump in and throw all the mystical stuff at us very early on, there wasn't time for a slow build. I really enjoyed the whole show. I absolutely LOVE Jodie Foster and in this, her performance, her "stance" really reminded me so much of her early work, like Freaky Friday. Jodie with attitude.

Yes, but calculating. Not emotional and impulsive at least.

I liked the show as background noise. I finally sat down and rewatched it...yikes. The suicide angles throughout really made me feel uncomfortable. It's a huge issue in the indigenous community and it wasnt done well

I don’t know. I’m a woman in America and I have had a lot of rage lately over what is happening to the direction of this country. I honestly don’t think it was that far fetched.

Meh. She was barely on screen for more than about 3 minutes thru the whole show. Its impossible to say if she was emotional or impulsive or not. I would hazard a guess that she was both if capable of suggesting murder.

Off camera everyone could do a 180, but the women put on the screen in front of us were flighty and/or angry and led by their emotions. Those aren't bad depictions until it's every woman and most times they're in a scene.

I take your point, but this season was preferable to the early seasons written by Taylor Sheridan where the women are victims, whores, incestuous imbeciles and dead bodies.

Pp. On the way Taylor Sheridan writes women, you and I are in agreement. Women are lusty, crazy props for men.

DA I am just jumping in to say Taylor is an awful wr
writer because of this!! It's not just the Yellowstone series but mayor of Kingstown too. I can't stand that man.

Well, I for one thought this season was laughably bad. All the jump scares, ridiculous plot lines, red herrings, terrible dialogue... what a disappointment.

This show is making me believe in conspiracy theories. Move over Julian Assange, Covid and stolen elections, I don’t believe for a split second that the ratings for this season are legitimate. They’re bots or paid for, just like the glowing reviews of this dreck. No way did more people watch this season than season 1. I remember everyone I knew watching season 1. This season, literally everyone I know stopped watching before the end. I was the only one who made it through and when I expressed my frustration with it, my friends, family and acquaintances were gobsmacked that I’d made it that far. They told me I deserved the disappointment for sticking with it all the way like an idiot.

I don’t know what’s going on but between this garbage and what Taylor Swift is doing to music, I’m starting to think that an evil cabal of globalist billionaires is trying to destroy American culture. Please someone in entertainment prove me wrong!

I guess I'm the only one who actually liked this season! It had its flaws, yes - but every week I enjoyed watching it.

I didn’t mind it. It’s a television show. Junk food for the mind. It’s not meant to be realistic or believable. It was good enough to tune in every week. They’ll never match season one and that’s ok.
