'Yellowstone' Series Finale: A Post-Mortem

How did we get here, T.Sher? Let's give a few reasons why.

*Long, exasperated sigh*

Dear Cowboy Creator Daddy,

How are you? I’m sure very well considering you claim you make over $1 billion dollars worth of TV, collect $200,000 just for your multi-deal with Paramount PLUS all the rental fees you charge for using your ranches, horses, whiskey, etc. Trust me, I know no one’s living better than you are. But after watching this week’s Yellowstone finale, “Life is a Promise,” I’m starting to think Paramount is grossly overpaying you. How else can you explain the lazy, sloppy writing and lack of plot that has encompassed these last five episodes?

Actually, you could probably justify it several different ways. One being you had nearly a two-year break in-between Season 4 and 5.1. Never mind that your scripts were already coming in late and you were mired in developing what feels like 18 additional shows, hell one just starring you, but you had some downtime.
