family, decadence and power; it was a program of government subjugation of Native Americans; this is also clearly a show about dragging Kelly Reilly into another thankless role.
But it should be a coat show. Because no matter how many negative things you can say about Yellowstone—it’s cliché, it’s performative, it’s a not-so-good Successor with cowboy boots—you can’t deny that Kevin Costner wore Some freaky boss jacket in there. In short, Yellowstone is borderline jacket porn (perhaps just regular porn for Justin Timberlake), and across three episodes, Costner has donned time-stained blazers and hard work, the type of vest that inspired the entire Eddie Bauer catalog, and the incredible two-tone jackets that will make you want to ditch the family and become a rancher. My pitch for Season 2 of Yellowstone is “Less dialogue, less murder — more coats,” because the show is truly at its best when Kevin Costner is just standing in front of a mountain among horses , looking rugged in a cool jacket. To celebrate those highlights, here’s a gallery of every single coat Costner has worn on the show so far. Note: This is the first scene of the show. Costner’s character, John Dutton, and the horse he’s pulling have just been in a car accident, and if you’re wondering whether the horse will survive, you haven’t been paying attention to the gun in his left hand. by Costner. And if you’re wondering now if there’s a close-up shot of Kevin Costner shooting a horse in the head, my answer is you’re sick… but maybe you’ll like Yellowstone.
