Though there were holes left open, but they died with Jamie." Another added, "Kasey and his family are protected and the ranch lives on as it should wild and free. Bravo!" 

Another added, "Yellowstone got me crying my eyes out!" A fan stated, "Just finished watching the series finale of Yellowstone. That show is easily one of the top 5 best shows I have ever seen. Its story will live on in the spin offs and hopefully continue in Texas with the 6666 ranch."

An emotional fan said, "The empty house and empty horse stalls and bunkhouse are heartbreaking."  

Internet showers love on Beth Dutton for 'Yellowstone' finale  

Fans were also in awe of Beth Dutton's (Kelly Reilly) actions in the 'Yellowstone' finale.

A fan shared, "The Beth Dutton anti-heroine is one of the best female TV character roles written in a good decade, maybe since Skyler White in Breaking Bad. Lucky if you've ever known a Beth, luckier still if you ever loved her... and lived to tell about her. IYKYK."

Another said, "No one … not a one … can ever say Beth Dutton doesn’t stand on her word!" A fan stated, "Beth dutton - there is NO ONE like you."

A fan said, "Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton is one of the best casting EVER! She is phenomenal! She puts on an acting clinic every single episode! So glad that there will be a Rip and Beth spinoff #YellowstoneTV." Another added, "One thing about Beth, she’s the only character I know that kept her battle scares where every other character in TV history looks unscathed episodes later after accidents, fights etc. Beth Dutton will always be a legend."

What happens in the 'Yellowstone' finale?

Following John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) tragic demise, Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) takes charge, and to save the ranch, he plays a gamble and surprisingly wins too. Kayce sells the ranch to Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and his tribe for $1.25 an acre, effectively fulfilling the Dutton prophecy from the prequel '1883.' Kayce also makes it clear that his family will stay in an area of the farm, making his vision of a lone wolf come true.

The finale also featured an emotional funeral of John, following which a violent confrontation takes place between Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Beth, which eventually leads to a shocking death. After much effort, Beth kills her adoptive brother Jamie, whose body is then dumped at the train station. In the end, once a bustling ranch is dismantled by the tribe, thus starting new beginning.
