Yellowstone and The Old Man

Last week I finally caught up on to the current episode of Chicago Fire.  It took me quite a bit longer to get through than Chicago PD.  There were a lot of episodes each season and more seasons to watch.  I did like the series, just not as much as PD.  I think it was because I like crime shows such as Law & Order.  Chicago Fire was more of a nighttime soap opera.  

Once I finished Fire, I decided to take a break from all of the rest of the Chicago series and watch a few other series that I hadn't watched yet.  The first one was Yellowstone.  It had been almost two years since I last watched the first half of season five of the cowboy series and wanted to see how it all would end.  It was strange at first without Kevin Costner, since he played the main character, but once I got over that, I really liked it.  It was definitely sad, but thankfully didn't have the violence of the previous seasons.  I loved that they tied up each characters' story, even the minor ones, and that there were no questions to be answered when the series ended, except for "I wonder who is in the spin off series."

The Old Man was a lot different than Yellowstone.  It ended on a cliffhanger with a major character missing.  Since the series will not be picked up for a third season, I guess I'll never know what happens to him.  Even with the ending leaving me wondering what's next, overall, I did enjoy it.  The story was intriguing, and the characters were complex.  Even with that said, I wouldn't probably recommend it to anyone unless they really liked the first one and wanted to see what happened when Jeff Bridges' daughter went missing.  It's just too good of a show to know that there will not be an official end to it.
