Truthfully I think the point was that the Duttons didn't WANT more than that.

I mean they sold the place for $1.25 million, right? Had they asked for $10 million, hell $100 million, Rainwater probably says yes. I mean it's probably a $5+ BILLION dollar property.

Kaycee could've called his shot. He got what he asked for because that's all he wanted.

I mean anybody that's run a shop of any sort can tell you that sometimes you really just wanna downsize and take care of yourself and your family. You don't need to conquer the world - just set yourself up nicely for the next few decades.

Kaycee got that. His 'paltry' 5,000 or whatever acres will do him just fine.

The only thing that doesn't make a ton of sense to me is the idea that they simply had no estate tax protections in place to remove the bulk of the assets directly from under John. That's the FIRST thing they'd have done after his cancer stuff in season 2.

But it is what it is. Like I said, at a point you really do need to shut your brain off a bit with this show (and just about any show like it).

Ah ok, was in my cups a bit while watching and somehow missed the fact that he got 5000 acres... that seems fair enough

Yeah, Kaycee kept 5,000 acres and the house at East Camp:

He's gonna be alright.

Yep they can still run a downsized ranch on 5000

While I do not endorse every view here, the author clearly put some deep thought into this review

It was stupid and had been stupid for a couple of years. Gangster ranchers is idiotic. The show had no good guys. Duttons are killers but they want you to believe they are the good guys after years of killing ranch hands to cover up other their other murders. Rip is a mass murderer with zero remorse. No investigation in the attorney general vanishing from the earth. A RIP and best spin off is a flop. Rip is a simp that married the town drunk, town slut and a total **** that treated everyone with hate.

Yes, in real life and history, that was the Crows land. In the series it’s a fictional tribe to avoid being sued.

Finally getting to watch the last episodes on Peacock. About a year ago they were saying Nov of 2024 so only about 6 months late. I wasn't about to pay extra to Prime/Paramount+ and knew it would available eventually. Only one episode left to go.

Love it so far, well done. Kelly Reilly lost some weight and is looking older.
