- TriviaKayce wanted to rejoin the Navy SEALS. His former Commanding Officer asked him "You're not a year from discharge?". The rationale behind the question being, based on the period of time of his "break in service", he would be required to attend mandatory training and observe other formalities before he can be placed on "active duty".

The only problem with this action is that every Glock has three places where the serial number is located. These are slide, barrel and the receiver.

Featured review
Strong performances overshadowed by overacting in intense family drama.
I would rate the first two episodes of Yellowstone a 6,5 out of 10. While the series has an interesting concept and follows the lives of the Dutton family, who own and operate the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, I found the execution to be somewhat lacking.
One issue I had with the show was the overacting of Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton. While I understand that the character is supposed to be intense and strong-willed, I felt that Reilly's performance was a bit too exaggerated at times. This may be due to the script, the character's personality, or the direction from the director, but it detracted from my enjoyment of the show.
The score for the series, which includes a theme that sounds similar to the 1969 hit single "Sympathy" by Rare Bird, is a nice touch and adds to the drama and tension of the show. This doesn't help to make up for my issues with the acting and the overall execution of the series.
Overall, while I can see the potential in Yellowstone, and the good acting of Kevin Costner, the first two episodes didn't fully deliver for me. It may still be worth checking out for fans of family dramas and intense, character-driven stories, but I would approach it with some caution.
