**Taylor Sheridan**has become one of the biggest creative voices on television, and he owes his success to Yellowstone. When *Yellowstone *first premiered in 2018, it was met with mixed reviews, as most critics called it too melodramatic for its own good. It wasn’t until Season 2 that those reviews started to pick up, and ratings followed, making *Yellowstone *a pop culture juggernaut and leading to a career resurgence for Kevin Costner, whose performance as John Dutton anchors much of the series. In fact, Season 2 has a quote by Dutton that perfectly sums up the entire series.
