Kevin Costner’s Best ‘Yellowstone’ Quote Still Defines Taylor Sheridan’s Western 7 Years Later

Taylor Sheridanhas 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.
