Josh Keown | Night Terror Novels 🧛🏻♂️’s review published on Letterboxd:
The BBC Yellowstone series is rounded off in riveting style with the last episode, Autumn. Whilst watching this series, I wondered why they hadn’t A) chosen to do four episodes, one for each season and B) start with spring and head through to winter. However, on reflection the order that the BBC opted for does work remarkably well.
This entry is likely the best of the trio, if only because it introduces and examines the human element too. Of course, we still have the marvellous imagery of the uncharted areas of wilderness that occupy the national park, but this one also explores the ranching, hunting and oil production in the area. It approaches the subject with just the right amount of fatalistic warning, without becoming overt and preachy. Once more, the strengths of the first two in the series are present here, and there isn't really anything I'd take issue with. If you like this sort of documentary, which I'd say I have a certain fondness for, then this pretty much delivers in all respects.
VERDICT; And it’s all topped off with a nice uplifting conclusion! It also cycles back nicely to where the first episode began in winter, all to start over again. As far as wildlife documentaries go, I’d say this is up there with some of the great ones, offering a compelling glimpse inside the real Yellowstone. It's a series well worth checking out, by any means.
4.5/5 or 9/10
