Agree it has been bastardised but in many ways that’s Taylor Sheridans doing.
He has interrupted the flow by doing so many off shoot prequels.
1883, 1923, 6666 and some of his other projects.
The Yellowstone series could have been written, filmed edited and be in the can had he not had disrupted and delayed.
But no doubt the writers strike messed up both Sheridans production plans, as it also did to Costner time line with Horizon.
I doubt they reboot it, certainly but with the cast we know.
Seems to be some bad blood between Sheridan and Costner.
Hard to imagine the following ever being as strong as it was without Costner’s role of JD.
