This is long but I am livid! I know this has been discussed on this sub before (Iâm on a throwaway because of my coup de grace here) but give me a moment to vent about this show and the obnoxious people who run it. I've been dealing with this shit in our neighborhood for 2 years and I just need to unload.
I admit Iâve watched the show and didnât mind it but after their treatment of me, my spouse, and our friends the past few days, I truly hope there is some unsatisfying conclusion and the numerous spinoffs fail.
Throughout the summer and again the past few days, theyâve been filming at a house in our neighborhood at Beckwith and Gerald (itâs where the lawyer son lives in the series). We live around the corner. On Tuesday, they snap at my spouse for parking near one of their âcrewâ vehicles and start yapping about how theyâve paid good money for this street (?) and done deals with neighbors and city blah blah blah. They threaten to call the police if my spouse won't move the car. My spouse is not confrontational and moves the car.
Then last night they have massive stadium lights illuminating the entire street on enormous cranes â and not one or two sets of lights, they have like 5-6 cranes positioned all around the neighborhood from various corners BLASTING stadium light everywhere. Mind you they put the lights up at like 10 pm for a night shoot. There are some police cars and an ambulance they move in front of the house and start rolling all the flashing lights on those vehicles. This goes on for at least 2 hours. We have a 10 month old who starts screaming because the lights are in his nursery. Move him but the lights are still blaring into the house and he's still worked up. THIS GOES ON TIL PAST MIDNIGHT. WTF. Have some courtesy, you are in a neighborhood!
I am so irate at about 11-11:30 that I am about to go yell at whatever officious little twit is running this clown show, when two of our friends who were staying with us from out of town come in and are like, âThe Yellowstone people harassed us and told us to leave because we were going to see whatever they were filming and it was supposed to be some big secret. The production people were so rude and going on about how they needed to âpreserve the narrativeâ and how itâs a âcritically acclaimed showâ.â First of all, itâs a public road, they canât just force people to leave, much less harass them. Second, âpreserve the narrativeâ? What narrative? Itâs an incoherent male telenovela involving a bunch of semi-literate men on horseback with ridiculous plotlines that make no sense. And âcritically acclaimedâ? You have to be kidding me. This is no Succession and it sure as shit ainât Breaking Bad or the Sopranos.Â
Stop reading now if you don't want a spoiler because I am effing pissed and burning this thing down. Â
I talk to a colleague this morning who, for some inexplicable reason, was an extra in this âsecret sceneâ last night as well as a neighbor who looks down over the house, and both of them spill the beans on what happened after hearing about our baby, my spouse, and our friends. Beth, Costnerâs delusional, insane daughter, is carried out on a stretcher and loaded into the ambulance. They think she was shot. There had been some big fight scene theyâd filmed in the house the past few days between her, her brother (the lawyer son -- literally the only sympathetic character and the only one even remotely capable of acting), and her mass-murdering, sociopath of a husband, who, by the way, I have met and is also a massive asshole in real life, so probably not a real stretch to play Rip. Jamie, the lawyer, is probably dead inside and who knows about Rip. Iâd like him dead too. Â
If that was the big, âsecretâ finale/fight, Yellowstone, your crewâs shitty conduct towards the neighbors the past few days/over the summer, and even 2 years ago when you filmed at the house, as well as your condescending attitude towards Montanans in Missoula, the Flathead, and the Bitterroot earned you no friends and spoiled it. No one would have bothered sharing this "secret scene" had you treated everyone with some modicum of respect. You didn't. This is the outcome. Goodbye, do not return.
