Yellowstone: Season 1 Blu-ray Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman, January 20, 2019

"A complicated world in a seemingly simple type of lifestyle" is how Kevin Costner describes Yellowstone, Creator Taylor Sheridan's (writer, Hell or High Water) blending of vintage Americana and the increasingly dense and complicated and threatening 21st century corner of the world in which it still exists. The show, which plays within both the grandeur of a cinema epic and the intimacy and detail of a long-form television show, explores within the vastness of open country a troubled family dynamic, strained from within and challenged from without, as the modern world attempts to undo what several generations of ranchers have done to build and preserve a way of life, make a living, and hand something meaningful, not just of value, down to their children. The show deals in familiar dramatic angles within the family and through its clashes with the outside world, but there's something different about Yellowstone, a show that blends the slower pace of a simpler time with the urgency and ever-evolving landscape of the modern world, yielding a unique and compelling program that aims to draw a wider audience beyond the core Western fan. 
 

Official synopsis: 'Yellowstone' revolves around the Dutton family, led by John Dutton who controls the largest ranch in the U.S. that its under constant attack by those it borders: land developers, and Indian reservation and America's first National Park. This is a world where land grabs make developers billions, the politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest oil and lumber corporations. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both. 

Yellowstone is set not in an untamed frontier but rather in a world of modern conveniences and dangers alike. The show is at once both a look at contemporary Western ranching that is still, in some ways, governed by classic Cowboy credos and justice, whether in negotiation with words and a handshake or at the end of a gun. The show explores the evolution of the Western way of life through a family patriarch's eyes, but it is also about the death of that kind of life and the pending death of the man who has taken the torch to oversee it for his family. John has been diagnosed with colon cancer, leaving his fate in doubt and, maybe, then, the ranch up for grabs, as the family dynamic seems to promise that the Dutton family may not hold the ranch into the next generation, one way or the other, whether because the family chooses not to take the responsibility or because the outside world will win a battle of attrition for the land's value and resources, destroying everything the family has built through the decades. 

That contrast between the big, beautiful, peaceful, open world and the much harsher realities within the family structure and the threats that build beyond the ranch's borders drive the story. Juxtaposition is at the show's foundation, with that land and that history at the heart of it all. It paints a picture of an unmissable and unmistakable romanticism that hearkens back to simpler times, but the show routinely breaks the illusion by introducing new problems and dynamics that threaten it. But that romantic notion of something better, "better" meaning "simpler," is always there within that Montana majesty, the Big Sky Country that seems like it could hold every dream and open every possibility. The show always circles around between promise and hope and problems and the hell that descends on the land, a hell both of the family's making and brought upon it by outside forces. Sheridan carefully balances the show, maintaining a sense of visual grandeur and photographic elegance while shaping the story for not just maximum dramatic effect but believable scenarios that keep the show and characters honest and the audience's attention on the drama but never entirely away from the beauty beyond the bothers that play out within it.  

The show is elegantly photographed, capturing classic Western vistas but holding firm to relatively simply techniques that keep the focus on the story and the world, pulling the audience in rather than breaking the illusion with more complex photographic trickery. Writing is smart and detailed; the show is well versed in its world and the characters appear authentic to the place and time, effortlessly blending the old and the new, whether they want to or not. There's a striking balance between modern realities and conveniences and the old way of doing things, of preserving a certain way of life that, like everything else in the show, exists within that seamlessly crafted juxtaposition. Casting is inspired, from Costner down. Costner is the perfect choice to play an aged patriarch who fits comfortably into the clothes and country but brings a dramatic weight, a sense of self, place, and purpose to the part that few other actors could have. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 1 Blu-ray, Video Quality

   

Yellowstone: Season 1's 1080p presentation is flat-out gorgeous. The digitally sourced image is pristine, intricate, and inspiring. Whether vast Montana vistas or intimate character portraits, the Blu-ray reveals every detail with incredible clarity and sharpness. Human details are tremendous, with close-ups showcasing every intimate wrinkle, stubble, scruff, makeup, and wounds. Textural abundance prevails in clothing close-ups, whether worn ranch attire or sharp business suits. The Blu-ray reveals every stitch, fray, and example of wear with elegant authenticity. Animal details are equally impressive. Views of horses and cows showcase amazingly intimate detail across the board. Terrain, the rustic (yet obviously very pricy) Dutton home, and even some city exteriors dazzle with wonderful clarity and attention to detail. Colors are perfectly implemented. The palette appears very well saturated and bold, whether big blue skies, intimate portraits of character eyes, rugged Western wear, blouses and neckties, earthy terrain, and natural greenery. Skin tones appear true and black levels are inky deep. Noise is kept to a modest minimum and no significant source or encode flaws are to be found. This is a terrific Blu-ray presentation from Paramount. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 1 Blu-ray, Audio Quality

   

Yellowstone: Season 1's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack is fairly vanilla, capable in delivery but not often engaging much beyond the necessities. Surrounds are not used with regularity or intensity. Music and even some major effects generally remain firmly up front but do play with agreeable width and always good foundational clarity. The track does fold in some light atmospheric effects that help define various outdoor locales, with the surrounds lightly chiming in to carry some light breezes, insects, or background animal sounds. Several gunshots are adequately deep and prominent and a few heavier effects here and there, such as spinning helicopter rotors, convey good definition and stage immersion. Dialogue propels the show, and its delivery is consistently clear and well prioritized with natural front-center positioning. Dialogue opens up a bit as scenes call for, such as during an auction scene in the first episode. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 1 Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras

   

Yellowstone: Season 1 contains extras on all three discs. No DVD or digital copies are included. This release ships with a non-embossed slipcover. 

Disc One:

Disc Three: 
 

• Behind the Story (1080p): Short pieces that explore a few character points, plot dynamics, and key moments from each episode. Included are extras covering the episodes "A Monster Is Among Us" (2:58), "The Unravelling, Pt. 1" (4:04), and "The Unravelling, Pt. 2" (4:01).

• Working the Yellowstone (1080p): A two-part feature that explores some of the making-of details, including a look at Production Design (1:43) and Special Effects (1:49).
• Yellowstone Official Theme Music Composed by Brian Tyler (1080p, 2:32): The theme set to scenes from the show and images from the orchestration. 
• Taylor Sheridan & Kevin Costner on Yellowstone (1080p, 24:49): This longer-form supplement more thoroughly and in a more relaxed manner explores the story, characters, themes, locations, photography, and more. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 1 Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

   

Yellowstone rarely stumbles. Its only fault is that there's a little too much reliance, at times, on typical TV drama and all the machinations and complex moving pieces that manipulate it all so precisely. But here that's part of the draw. The contrast between man's darker workings and the beautiful natural backdrop make the show familiar but at the same time fresh, relatable in many ways but almost alien in some others. Sheridan and his collected cast and crew have built something that is both visually arresting and dramatically compelling. Yellowstone: Season 1features gorgeous 1080p video, quality lossless audio, and a decent collection of extra content. Highly recommended.

Yellowstone: Season 2 Blu-ray Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman, June 28, 2020

Life is just a long series of losing things I love. 

Enjoying 'Yellowstone: Season Two' demands a firm foundational knowledge of the players, places, and purposes established in season one; newcomers are heavily encouraged to begin their journey with the show there. 

At its broadest point of perspective, Yellowstone's second season is no different than its first. Certainly some -- many -- of the external dynamics have evolved or are evolving, but at its center season two continues that linear narrative pathway through the Dutton family, exploring the importance of bloodlines, legacy, and maintaining the family name through triumph and tragedy born of both internal and external influences and circumstances. The show holds steady to its rather strict adherence to contemporary drama formula, opening and peering intently into the darker side of business dealings, personal relationships, and family feuds, but the supportive dynamics -- the people, the places, the way of life -- help to overcome the otherwise formulaic center and craft a highly watchable show. 
 

Official synopsis: Determined to protect his ranch and his family's legacy by any means necessary, John Dutton (Kevin Costner) turns up the heat in the most epic season of Yellowstone yet. As the violence escalates and the alliances shift, the ranch experiences some if its most dangerous affairs yet. 

Yellowstone centrally explores an old way of life interrupted by modern problems and unpredictable dynamics. But as the show suggests, it matters not where one lives, how one lives, or in what era when so much power is involved and so much money is at stake. The complications thereof are universal and go without saying, but the show explores them in detail, anyway. In a world of supposed law and order (in this season, rules are bent at will and broken with regularity to varying degrees of consequence), problems are not always solved with a good talk over coffee but often, rather, through personal manipulation (i.e. blackmail), through a manipulation of assets (killing off a herd of cattle), or, sometimes, yes, at the end of a gun or a kidnapper's hand. In season two, physical tolls are many on the Dutton family but the emotional tolls are more damaging, and longer lasting. And therein lies the allure. 

As with season one, there's plenty of fine, juicy writing here, fine in terms of flow and flavor and juicy in terms of the dramatic currents that ebb and flow through the story. Characters are well-rounded, externally defined by familiar TV drama tropes while internally depicted to be authentic living, breathing people who suffer from the consequences of their actions, or inactions, and feel pain well beyond the physical tolls their dealings so often deliver. The cast is terrific in defining the characters inside and out. How they balance the unusually high profile places they hold or seek in society, in politics, in wealth, and in influence come across with the very real, very essential human emotions that fundamentally shape them, even if it's not always so evident in how they carry themselves in their day-to-day lives. Season two has its share of backstory exploration, highlighting key moments in the past that are vital in explaining actions and consequences in the present. Season two pushes the Dutton family hard, in physical and emotional health, and it's how the cast so genuinely responds to the stimuli, and of course the gorgeous cinematography and world in which they operate, that allows the otherwise superficially trite drama to stretch well beyond the responses it would otherwise elicit in a more generic setting and with a lesser cast. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 2 Blu-ray, Video Quality

   

Yellowstone: Season 2 was digitally photographed and, like season one, dazzles on Blu-ray. The expansive Western vistas are inherently photogenic, and the majesty of large open spaces, dense forests, jagged mountains, and expansive blue skies are all presented in vivid, breathtaking detail and clarity. The picture is in full command of the manmade environments, too, with the Dutton home interiors and exteriors alike revealing the fine architectural work and the natural constructs within with great command of every detail. Characters are exquisitely presented. Facial textures are absolutely alive and in total clarity, particularly hairs, pores, and fine wrinkles but extending to applied makeup to give characters bloodied and bruised appearances as necessary. The Western clothing presents with impeccable sharpness, whether worn and dusty ranch hand clothes or fine suits and vests. The collected image is simply breathtaking. The color palette is gorgeous, too, offering generous natural greens and brilliant sky blues. The earthy clothing and natural tones around the ranch are deep and true. Blood is a bright, brilliant red, and there's no shortage of it in the season. Skin tones are perfect and black levels rarely lighten from a true dark position. Noise is in evidence in lower light but it's rarely bothersome. No other source or encode anomalies are apparent. This one's breathtaking. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 2 Blu-ray, Audio Quality

   

Yellowstone: Season 2's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack manages its content well. Whether music, environmental elements, or scattered action happenings, the track proves to be healthy and vigorous, particularly along the front. Surrounds are not so frequently engaging as one might expect, often picking up notes here and there but lacking steady bombardment. That's a good thing, generally, allowing the sound elements to play in a natural state rather than forced surround execution. The backs pick up content as necessary, whether carrying select musical components and particularly gentle ambience such as rustling leaves and lightly blowing winds. More intensive effects, such as shots from a revolver in the final episode, lack the oomph one might expect, and some wider shootouts likewise lack distinct, intense authority. Dialogue drives most of the show, and it's presented without flaw in all areas of concern. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 2 Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras

   

Yellowstone: Season 2 contains supplements across all three discs, though on discs one and two only the casual summary Behind the Story extras are to be found; disc three houses the meatier bonuses. No DVD or digital copies are included with purchase but season two does ship with a non-embossed slipcover. 

Disc One: 
 

• Behind the Story (1080p): Brief episode summaries and deconstructions. Included on disc one are A Thundering (6:45), New Beginnings (8:28), The Reek of Desperation (9:19), and Only Devils Left (7:01).

Disc Two: 
 

• Behind the Story (1080p): Brief episode summaries and deconstructions. Included on disc two are Touching Your Enemy (9:18), Blood the Boy (7:57), Resurrection Day (9:35), and Behind Us Only Grey(5:37).

Disc Three: 
 

• Behind the Story (1080p): Brief episode summaries and deconstructions. Included on disc three are Enemies by Monday (7:35) and Sins of the Father (9:29).
• Inside Yellowstone: Season 2 (1080p, 3:43): A quick piece in praise of the writing, characters, and performances. 
• Costner on Yellowstone: Season 2 (1080p, 3:06): Costner breaks down season two plot points and characters. 
• Working The Yellowstone: Fight Choreography (1080p, 2:53): Fight Choreographer Wade Allen reveals the secrets behind the season's key brawls. 
• Only Devils Left - Making Yellowstone: Season 2 (1080p, 30:22): This longer-form supplement more thoroughly and in a more relaxed manner explores the story, characters, themes, locations, photography, and more.
• Yellowstone Tin Type Photography Behind the Scenes (1080p, 5:20): Using old school photographic techniques to shoot stills for the season. 
• Yellowstone Stories from the Bunkhouse (1080p): Tales from the making of each episode with Denim Richards, Ian Bohen, and Jefferson White who provide a somewhat humorous bend. Included are A Thundering (7:23), New Beginnings (8:11), The Reek of Desperation (6:59), Only Devils Left (7:32), Touching Your Enemy (6:02), Blood the Boy (8:54), Resurrection Day (6:16), Behind Us Only Grey(6:51), Enemies By Monday (6:27), and Sins of the Father (6:49). 
• Deleted Scenes (1080p): Included are Business of the Ranch (3:10), Vote For Who They Like (1:15), Hotel Plans (2:38), The Desk Is All Yours (2:37), Give Me a Sign (3:17), and Bunkhouse (0:46). 

 

Yellowstone: Season 2 Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

   

Yellowstone: Season 2 engages beyond the surface, which is vital considering the various dramatic currents really don't resonate all that much in a vacuum. The cast soaks up the scenery and the opportunity to wear the shoes and work the land, to evolve the family dynamics and the surrounding social and political scenes with unrestrained depth, darkness, and delight. Season two sees characters challenged personally like never before; each member of the Dutton family suffers serious physical and emotional trauma through the season, building to a charged finale that's as emotionally draining as anything the show could have chosen to end the season. Bring on season three. Paramount's Blu-ray is well rounded, delivering excellent video and audio presentations along with a quality assortment bonus content. Highly recommended.

Yellowstone: Season 3 Blu-ray Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman, December 12, 2020

Following the dark and dramatic happenings in Yellowstone's second season, season three sees the Dutton family begin a healing process and attempt to return to some semblance of normalcy: to heal the body and the soul and the family bonds alike. But like everything that happens to the Duttons, the season grows increasingly dirty and dark. Violence will once again tear the family apart, as will long-held dark secrets that will rewrite the Dutton family history and threaten to tear down everything generations have worked so hard to build. 
 

Official synopsis: In the most explosive season of 'Yellowstone' yet, John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his family must protect their land from new and old enemies, led by Wall Street maverick Roarke (Josh Holloway). Threatened by betrayals, bad blood, and lucrative business deals, the Duttons form unexpected alliances and confront dangerous measures to safeguard their legacy. 

That terse summary barely scratches the surface of all of the inner workings, high stake dealings, family revelations, and twists and turns season three has on offer. The main focus this season is on an external power play, led by the aforementioned Roarke and Willa Hayes (Karen Pittman) who are part of a group offering -- with persuasive force -- to purchase the ranch for an exorbitant sum of money. The dealings are complicated by the maneuvers from both sides and the revelations that come to light as the season progresses, one in particular that redefines Jamie Dutton's (Wes Bentley) perspective on his life and family which is further complicated by the increasingly growing rift with Beth (Kelly Reilly), particularly as a dark chapter of their shared past comes to light. These two characters, more than any others, propel season three forward, particularly as the show more intimately explores Beth's tender relationship with Rip (Cole Hauser) and Jamie's growth into his own man and into a power player in state politics. 

Season three furthers the other core relationship between Kayce (Luke Grimes) and Monica (Kelsey Asbille) as well as those between Colby (Denim Richards) and newcomer Teeter (Jennifer Landon) and Jimmy (Jefferson White) and newcomer Mia (Eden Brolin), but the season's most dynamic, and plot-pivotal, new characters are Roarke Morris and Willa Hayes who are the Duttons' most ruthless, and perfectly legal and extremely dangerous, corporate foes. The political dynamics and business dealings pull much of the season drama towards Jamie and Beth. The season simmers as the details crawl in and the characters absorb the facts and maneuver for their own gain, right up to an explosive final episode. The cast is particularly good this season with the mix of deeply established roots, burgeoning new realities, and festering pains returning to haunt them, all pointing to a climax in another unbelievable finale that will leave fans breathless for the start of the upcoming fourth season. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 3 Blu-ray, Video Quality

   

Like the previous two seasons before it, Yellowstone's third season Blu-ray looks fantastic. The picture is absolutely sharp, bringing the essentials and the intimates to life with breathtaking visual accessibility. The picture shines at every opportunity, particularly as it allows audiences to soak in the Western vistas where crystal-clear grasses, skies, and other natural niceties delight with superior sharpness at distance, allowing the viewer to practically stand in the landscape which is vital for appreciating not just the cinematography but also the story and the stakes and the people involved in it. Speaking of people, the transfer doesn't fail to reveal every character with effortless, tack-sharp detail. Facial features are superbly intimate. There's no missing even the most subtle nuance. Freckles, hairs, pores, wrinkles: nothing escapes the 1080p attention to detail. Attire might be more complex than skin. The Blu-ray captures the rugged Western wear -- jackets, boots, dresses, all of the high dollar apparel seen throughout the season -- with effortless, practically startling density and detail. Colors are gorgeous, whether generous diversity and subtlety to expansive natural greens and blue skies and warm woods in the richly and complexly crafted ranch interiors. Tones across the board are full and healthy, intense but never overbearing. Contrast is perfect with no needless alterations. Skin tones are true and black levels are precise. The image exhibits moderate noise in darker scenes and oftentimes visible noise even in well lit interiors and exteriors alike. There's a small hint of aliasing here and there as well. But these issues cannot undermine an otherwise stellar Blu-ray presentation. 

 

Yellowstone: Season 3 Blu-ray, Audio Quality

   

There is a lot to like about Yellowstone's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless soundtrack. It's not the most dynamic track in existence but it's home to fruitful output, excellent balance, and engaging atmosphere. Indeed, environmental fill might be the most impressive component. Even something as mundane as a gently blowing wind can perfectly draw the listener into the Western world. Music plays with terrific depth and detail, whether wide opening title score, gentle Western notes, or more intense action pieces. Musical width is excellent and there's just enough surround integration to satisfy. The track never struggles to deliver more intense elements around the ranch and some of the more dynamic needs in the season's most demanding moments. There's good balance across the board, notably at the low end which is supportive but not overpowering. Dialogue is clear and center positioned for the duration.

Yellowstone: Season 3 Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

   

Season three sees the Dutton Ranch under corporate assault and the family strained to its limits with new revelations, heartbreaking pasts returning to the forefront, and more at stake than in either of the previous two seasons. But most key to the season's forward momentum is its backwards look into Jamie and Beth's lives and relationship. Both are key figures in the battle for the ranch's future and their stories dominate the season's dramatic currents, leading to an unforgettable conclusion. Paramount's Blu-ray is first-class, featuring superb video and audio presentations and a healthy assortment of extra content. Highly recommended.
