'Yellowstone' episode 4 review: 'A Long Black Train' shines a sharper light on Dutton ranch but is still all over the place

Similar to the first three episodes, 'A Long Black Train' left a lot wanting, but boasted of a few redeeming angles

Recap of first three episodes

Upon premiere on June 20, Paramount's 'Yellowstone' became the network's most-watched original scripted series telecast ever, drawing in over 2.8 million viewers and doubling the record for that of its first scripted drama series 'Waco,' and tripling the debut viewership of 'American Woman.'

That number only grew as the other elements began factoring in, with the show taking the honor of becoming the second most-watched TV series on ad-supported cable to air in 2018, only behind AMC's 'The Walking Dead.'
