Lonesome Dove, watch it about once a year

Yellowstone I watched the early seasons, at some point it just got so ridiculous that I lost interest.

Lonesome Dove. Haven't been able to really get into Yellowstone. The two prequels are better than Yellowstone too.

the issue with Yellowstone is it is too much like turning on the news, here a shyster there a shyster everywhere a shyster ruining the nice scenery.

Watched one episode of Yellowstone, the first episode then commy kostner went off about Trump and i won't support him and his liberal views so never watched another episode and never will.

Insulting you would even compare that crap to Lonesome Dove, it's a classic.

LD is my preference. I like Yellowstone, too.

I agree, Hatfields and McCoys is an excellent watch

I thought Yellowstone was a joke. I'm not a t.v. fan, but Lonesome Dove was much better, IMO. There was a story. Yellowstone has violence; no story.

I'll go with Lonesome Dove, but haven't seen Yellowstone. Figured it would be the 'Dallas' of the 21st century.

Lonesome Dove is my pick,Yellowstone is more California (That Montana don't need)

Lonesome Dove for the win. Broken Trail as runner up. Yellowstone, I just can’t get into it, and I’ve tried.

Lonesome Dove !

X3 on all this.

I saw White Winged Dove live.
Probably a different kind of feminine?

So, Lonesome Dove is a weekly show? I have watched a very little of Yellowstone but have never watched it long enough to have a like or dislike 5 or 10 minutes at one time. I know there are some from another site I visit, that won't miss it.

I watch so little TV I don't think I could get addicted to any show no matter how good it is.

Read the book Lonesome Dove no TV then at least limited, watched 2 episodes of Yellowstone and it is an embarrassment to ranching or anyone that wears a cowboy hat. It should be banned just for the language and content.

All the Pretty Horses is a great book. I highly recommend the Border Trilogy.

Lonesome Dove hands down over Yellowstone (a show for suburban women). I barely made it through one episode of Yellowstone and I am a Costner fan.

To me, the two shows are not even comparable.

One is all actors, based on old west era, the other, a full series of modern day western ranches, with a combo of actors, featuring real deal Montana working cowboys, who are also actors , and world class working Quarter horses , who's offspring are sought after and being shown across the country now. The real deal.

NO comparison.

The intertwined stories of Yellowstone are not apparent at all until one watches each series. There are actually many stories unfolding along the way. Each character has their story, revealed to the viewer in understanding them as the shows progress. For example, it is impossible to know why Beth is the way she is until more shows in series one and two are observed. Until then, she does indeed come across as a "crazy", impulsive, mean individual. Though brilliant in intelligence.

Anyone not seeing more than a few shows of Yellowstone, does not in the least have the ability to comment . They have not even reviewed the "document " fairly.

Yellowstone is based on the main story unfolding, a real life theme, of the plight of modern day ranches , fighting for their land from big business, predatory out of state corps, who hate everything the open country and its people love about America. This story has been happening in real life to this day .

Most of the cowboys in the series, are real life cowboy hands, horse trainers, and ranch owners. Working men. The horses are the real deal too. I see them and their foals trained and up for sale often , all show ring winners , trained by the best. The horses ridden in Tombstone are just well-trained lower grade, mostly, not real life performance horses. Except for a few of the ones John Wayne rode.

Tombstone is not even close to all this. While a good show, it is not comparable to Yellowstone at all.

Just like Tombstone, and all movies, and most books, really, there is a lot of fiction , but that's ok, and entertaining , regardless. There's not a thing wrong with fiction entwined with reality. Makes for an interesting show, sometimes marveling at the producers or book authors in their ability to mix both in such an interesting fashion.

The last season, however, needs to be finished. The producers have upset a lot of folks in not finishing what could be a wonderful finale . Lots of things are left loose that can be included to the story of the ranch being saved from out of state big business buyers. And those horses playing the part of saving it, just as John D. mentioned . The reason he invested millions in the team and buying Metallic Cat. A lot of good stuff that needs to be produced yet to end the series. I keep hoping they will do that.

Didn't make it through one episode of Yellowstone. All the swearing seemed inappropriate to the area and situations. Perfect for urban gangsters.
