Yellowstone. With shows like The Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy you know the characters are evil, but you can connect just enough for it to be compelling.

In Yellowstone it feels like they want you to see the characters as the heros, when they are mass-murdering, slave-owning oligarchs. They buy cops and politicians to gain power, but get bent on revenge if other powers don't "play by the rules". I didn't last too long, but everyone else seems to love it.

I watched it for a while, but it just got stupider and stupider with every season. It's a very American show, and it feels like conservative pandering much of the time (even though the show runner isn't a conservative from what I hear).

It's a soap opera and if you treat it for what it is It's quite fun! People who never watched soap set expectations too high and expected real plot and depth of a real TV show which it never set out to do.
