Suffice to say, I'll give the show credit: I'm still watching late into season two and find genuine entertainment. However, this show is frustrating and bewildering. Why are the Beck brothers now the main antagonist? Because the plot demands Jenkins and rainwater become patsies overnight in spite of their enormous resources. The show veers awkwardly between a cowboy romp (antics with ranch hands are the shows best part) and the family drama which is written bafflingly and changes on a dime. It's so frustrating because the actors are fantastic and the Shakespearean potential is right there waiting to be plumbed. I don't care what happens to their ranch, these characters are flat and with the exception of John Dutton, deeply stupid. The show's best character is Jimmy, and the actor who plays him brings great humanity to the part and managed to evoke some soul. Also, the soundtrack is incredible and opening theme hints at what a great piece of literature this show could be. God bless all the attractive cowboys.
