Yellowstone Season 5 : Spinoff is all set to continue with Bass Reeves story at Paramount + .

Season Five of Yellowstone begins with a bit of conflict between rancher and long time friend Eric and Meri’s family, who are planning on building homes on a section of land between their properties. What follows is an intense stand off that escalates into violence. This season promises to be an exciting one full with suspenseful scenes, emotional tension, and some unexpected twists. We start with a phone call that sets off a series of events in the season opener, but it quickly becomes clear that not everything is what it seems.

What is the plot of the story ?

This season begins in Meri’s kitchen where her father is upset that the ranch has been overrun by homes on his land. This leads to an argument between him and Eric, who really feel that it should be up to the families to decide whether to buy land or not. This leads to a fight between the two men where it is clear that Eric is really not feeling well. Things get even tenser when Meri’s uncle Ted, who is planning on building homes in the area, arrives with his family. It becomes clear that Ted and Eric aren’t as close as they let on.

Who is in the cast ? What role did each character portray ?

The cast include Luke Grimes , Kelly Reilly , Wes Bentley , Tom Berenger , and Timothy Olyphant . Luke Grimes portrayed Eric Parker, Meri’s father who is upset at the idea of people building their homes on his property. Wes Bentley portrayed Ted Strickland, a rancher who owns a ranch between Eric and Meri’s. Tom Berenger portrayed Drew Strickland, Ted’s husband. Timothy Olyphant played Gus, Meri’s uncle and Ted’s brother in law. Kelly Reilly played Molly Barlowe, Ted’s wife who is pregnant with twins.

What are the difficulties they face ?

While it might seem like for the Barlowes things are going really well, there is hidden conflict which just gets worse when Drew is caught having an affair with Meri’s uncle Ted. This leads to a huge fight between Meri and Drew, who have been married for 17 years. Not only that, but the cowboys from their ranch have been poaching the cattle from Ted’s ranch and selling them without his consent. The theme of this movie is that of a feud between families, which leads to tension and even violence. It also shows the role that family plays in our lives. This conflict also has many sub themes, including the way in which some people justify their actions for their own benefit and the way in which greed can get the better of people.

Who is the antagonist ? What are its motives ?

The antagonist in this film is not one specific character, but rather it is the feud between the two families that causes many problems. However, because of this feud, Drew’s affair stands out as a major problem that leads to even more conflict. The motive of Drew’s character was really just to have an affair with Ted. Drew rationalized his actions for himself by telling himself that Ted didn’t care about his family and thus wouldn’t mind their infidelity.

What are the epic scenes ?

The first scene that stands out as epic was the fight between Eric and Ted. This scene was intense, but also very shocking to viewers, especially because of its unexpectedness. The second epic scene would have to be when Meri tells Drew that he can no longer live at their ranch. Not only is she forcing him out of their house together, but she tells him that he is not allowed to visit his children ever again. This shows us how much this feud has hurt her and how angry she is at him for not caring about the impact his decisions had on their family.

Would you recommend watching this ?

I would definitely recommend watching this and I give this show a 9/10. This show is full of suspense, unexpected twists and moments that draw you in from the very beginning. Not once did I feel as if the show was dragging, but rather each episode kept me on the edge of my seat as if I had just watched a movie. Thanks for reading !
