I agree. In your opinion, who is the show trying to appeal to?

Boomers who were fans of Dallas or any of the other "prime-time soaps" of the era. My in-laws love it. I won't leave the room if it's on, but it's just not my thing.

I can't get with it because the red-headed daughter is such a terrible, one dimensional actor. And that the feds would have gotten involved immediately and ended the whole show.

Normal audiences. Not the internet.

That might sound glib but it is sort of accurate. Movie Bob has a good video on this where he talks about Yellowstone specifically about 2/3rds of the way through.

Only kind of related to that video, but I think that automatic dismissal of anybody who criticizes the show as elitist is a bit unfair. I like the show, but in large brush strokes, it has been the same story 4 years in a row about how outsiders want to take the ranch away. I also disagree heavily with this being an "unknown" show online, the Rip/Beth memes have been around for years and it's a staple of the front page of this sub during its season.
