The western series created by Taylor Sheridan became a hit with audiences soon after its broadcast. Yellowstone has a brilliant cast that drives the story forward with their brilliant acting. But their performances are also judged by how the show is written. In the past, there have been issues with the show’s script – mainly with the plot and how some of the characters are written.
While many had problems with the development overall, there is something – aside from the cast – that fans appreciate about the series: the dialogue.Yellowstone has some of the snarkiest dialogue on television, with each character having their own style. Some are funny, some are dark, and some are downright ruthless. And it all comes through in the dialogue and the performances.
Here are some of the best dialogues from the main cast of the series, showing how dialogue can add the most to a scene.
