Yellowstone: A Knife and No Coin (2022)
A Season 5 Part A review
So yea it's just the first part of season 5 which is also going to be the final season of Yellowstone. I have to say it's kinda disappointing to me. To be honest, I think we can all feel a bit weak about season 4 already. But season 5 A is hitting a new low. I was drowned in all the country music and ranch-hand lifestyle documentaries and there were so little progress in the whole storyline instead of what happened in ep8. However that wasn't really enough to support the almost 8 hours of the show.
Since season 4, the writers had kept the so-called "wild, free, direct, invincible" in Beth going yet a bit over the line. It's just too much and started to not making sense. She's smart and intuitive but not just "hothead" which is what Beth is now. I blame the writers for not giving the character any sort of growth or gain.
And now in season 5, she became even more unreasonable. I mean... she's such a good character with a lot to dig in but the only thing that the writers focused on is her temper and "romance" with Rip.
What doesn't make sense to me is - if Beth never knew where they had been dumping all the bodies over the years, how come she was there waiting for Jamie dumping Randall's body and took the picture that has made Jamie "owned" to John and her? As I recalled, she was waiting in the front area of Jamie's car at the "train station". She couldn't have followed Jamie and driven pass him, right? Then she must knew. So how the hell was she surprised when Jamie told her about that place. And how the hell did she think that photo wouldn't trigger the total flip of Jamie and then drag every one of the Duttons into the mud.
I really like the show from the beginning. Especially the first three seasons. I really hope that the writers give the show a good ending instead of so much OOC and amazing scenery to fill up the blank.
How to Become a Tyrant (2021)
Let's just say that the selective neglecting kinda sucks
So it did had a good storyline for every tyrant mentioned. But what happened to United States when all those historical things happened? Why did the US only appeared so many times and as such a great nation who defend their citizens?
Didn't the United States meddled around many area that's mentioned in the serie?
So I guess this docuserie is also serving a propaganda of some power right?
I'm glad that I have learnt of some major events that's related to some regimes mentioned in the serie. Otherwise I'd probably be completely convinced that these tyrants are just all so negative and playing against the world.
Maybe Netflix can make a serie of how the United States meddled around the world about other nations' stuff and see how that goes.
