Daybreak doesnt really answer that question affirmatively.
Most ofYellowstones two hours is spent calmly introducing what looks to be an ambitious and sprawling narrative.
Then, down the stretch, something terrible occurs.
The shows biggest assets are its cast and its premise.
The Duttons are unfathomably wealthy and powerful as in personal helicopters and armed guards rich.
At the start of the story, theyre facing pressure on multiple fronts.
Daybreak doesnt introduce all the conflicts slated to come into play this season.
This sets up the Big Moment.
A shootout ensues, which turns deadly when Lee gets killed.
Again, all of this happens abruptly, even in the context of a two-hour TV episode.
But for all its sometimes overwritten dialogue,Yellowstoneis blessedly assured regarding what it means to be about.
The compelling questionsYellowstonepromises to ask every week are these: What do we reallyown?
And once we buy something, do we have a right to it forever?
Fingers crossed that the part improves in the weeks ahead.
So part of the ongoing story ofYellowstonewill have to do with whether it gets respectable ratings and media coverage.
