Plot
Determined to protect his land and legacy at any cost, John Dutton (Kevin Costner, two-time Academy Award®, Golden Globe® and Emmy® winner) takes his fight to the halls of government in the most explosive season of Yellowstone yet. But with greater power comes further scrutiny...of his family, his land, and the morally questionable measures he’s taken to protect them both. As new threats emerge and old enemies return, John, Beth, Kayce, Rip, and Jamie learn that power has a price. Head back to the ranch and dive into the first 8 episodes of Season 5 along with never-before-seen bonus that includeexclusive interviews with cast and crew. In these featurettes, we explore the relationships between fan-favorite couples Rip & Beth and Kayce & Monica, an in-depth look at the iconic music of Yellowstone, the process of bringing the Yellowstone world to life, and more!
My Thoughts
I reviewed this on Kaleidescape in UHD for Sound & Vision (link here: https://www.soundandvision.com/content/yellowstone-season-5 (https://www.soundandvision.com/content/yellowstone-season-5)) I like this show and I’ll be sad when it ends later this year, but nothing lasts forever. This Blu-ray presentation is very good but doesn’t equal the UHD stream from the K-scape. The audio is the same though.

Conclusion
Season 5 is a strong offering in the series, but it’s about time for it to end. I still enjoy the characters and the show, but I’m not sure how much further they can take these characters and I’m curious what the next spin-off will look like. If you’re a fan of the show, the supplement package is quite good and dives into the production and some of the characters. Recommended for fans.
