yeah a lot better than ones where they try and do " artistic direction " or basically we will leave a chance for it being open to possibly milk again at a later date...
I was dissappointed with the whole of this second part of Season 5. I get they had to make changes due to Costner's situation, but they had plenty of time to rewrite things. Too many characters weren't used very well and it just became the Beth show (not forgetting lots of horse spinning and skidding...).
They're both behaving like 5 year olds fighting over a toy... I'm not satisfied with how it ended, but I'm glad it did, the direction the show was going in wasn't a good one... It felt a bit rushed and some events seemed meaningless.Yeah, I thought it was good enough although a ilittle basic and simple? Also, I really don't like Beth these days, she's too overly dramatic and self-centred. Did anyone else actually want Jamie to win that fight

100% agree.
I think maybe that's a sign of a good series though? This isn't a movie where it needs a big bang ending. It was just reaching its natural conclusion. The politics of what went on just made sense so it wasn't "shocking" or a rug pull. Jamie dying was an execution like any other they had done....
You wouldn't understand the last episode if you'd watched all the seasons. And if you had watched all the seasons, the last episode just slotted everything in place nicely. No shocks or tricks or cliff hangers, just concluded nicely. Albeit a bit boring!

Hmmmm... The ending was a bit erm, how shall I put it. Unbelievable.
It was awful. The last series was awful. Just... Awful.

And that's all he'll see, and keep going.
This Is a Cry for Help
Not content to kill off Kevin Costner, Taylor Sheridan wrote a Yellowstone plot about a super-cool dude everyone admires (played by Taylor Sheridan).
www.vulture.com
This sums it up perfectly for me.
Wasn't in a rush to get the last half of s5 finished after seeing how bad it was going down with most viewers and the memes it's spawned of horse spins every episode.
Was I happy with how it's ended compared to the how it started no however no point not seeing the show out after all this time.
This last half to get the show finished really did feel more like a feeder series for the spin off shows that are due to come and to advertise the 6666 ranch as Taylor owns it, Texas desert doesn't work as a back drop compared to the mountains.
Saw this comment on Reddit and sums it up:
After coming back to Yellowstone from watching Lioness / Kingstown this shows what happens when Taylor is left to his own devices with the plot and doesn't really care for the show anymore.

Was just going to say Spoiler that!!!
They (beth) needed to get almost killed by him in order to pin the murder on him as well as take down the companies that were involved in trying to buy the ranch.
The lead up to it with 1883 saying a few generations then we get it back, hinted he already had his ending.
There was also bits and bobs through out saying they weren’t making any money, running at a loss as well as they having to get those horses etc
It was also established that they wouldn’t be able to pay the tax on it…
I still think it was a decent ending, better than other season endings anyway!

After loving all the previous seasons, the ending to 5 felt really underwhelming. The second half of the season just felt like it was trying to wrap up for wrapping ups sake. Definitely felt the loss of Costner because as much as I do like the majority of characters, it seems he was doing heavy lifting at times.
It ended how it should've ended but it still felt a bit hollow. Rubbish final boss battle too.
