There is a lot of filler this season
- all of the rodeo stuff is just Taylor Sheridan boosting his ego. Most of his scenes are cringeworthy and while interesting I have no idea what the point of the rodeo or horse reading is beyond what we see on screen. There is not enough depth of content to make it interesting
- the Indian mysticism takes up a lot of time and does not make sense to the story
- separating the children detracts from the power of the family on the ranch
- Jamie has become a waste of time on the show. Still trying to figure out how his real dad set up the attack on the family only to have Jamie discoverer he is adopted when he looks for his birth certificate. I guess he never needed a passport or a real ID license.
- after all that Beth has done for John and all that a John has done to others - John kicks Beth out of his life because some one night fling got suckered by Beth as part of a plan to save John's ranch? That is the dumbest thing to happen this season.
