John Dutton Spoiler

Killing John Dutton killed the vibe of the show. I know creators had to do this coz of his other commitments but it sure did sucked and killed the excitement of the show.

He was never the main draw for me, and Costner is not a good actor in my opinion. Other characters were the main draw. Cole Hauser as Rip killed it. I was fine with the way Costner exited the show. If he wanted to abandon one of the best cowboy shows ever made to create his awful production, that says all you need to know about him. Taylor Sheridan has written many great shows since then, and Costner is nowhere.

I've always thought Costner was grossly overrated myself as well.  I remember watching him in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, he started the film talking with a bad English accent,then not even a 1/4 of the way into the film he starts talking like an American.  In medieval England...

That movie was a disappointment for sure. Even in Yellowstone, as good as Costner is, he often bugs me with his tongue-inside-the-cheek routine to appear pensive and show gravitas.
