A farming family in Montana faces encroachment on their land. Lloyd. Smith is a seasoned hand in the rodeo world.
"Giant" He resembles Rock Hudson and tries to hold on to old ways
John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often "forgets" His Montanan accent and drifts back into his usual SoCal speaking voice. Featured in WatchMojo: 10 Best Summer TV Shows That Aren’t on the Radar (2018) Kevin Costner is a patriarch who runs a dynasty ranch the size of some countries. Resort developers, tribal rights, and the authority of the Montana state government all interfere with his way of life.
Costner seems to have filled his character’s shoes naturally
"Yellowstone" The small introduction builds quickly, but its story progresses at the natural pace of a desert day, pausing for tribal tales, cowboy traditions, and political intrigue. It’s a far-reaching movement that weaves together the seams between law and justice, family and friendship. He’s a world-weary man who’s seen too much and lied too often.
Country and family are his lifeblood
He hears footsteps approaching, but he can only play his unfamiliar role as much as loyalty. While some of the action is a little confusing due to the lack of explanation, it feels genuine to the viewer. A slice of life peeks into another world.
We learn the whole story from root to fruit
I hope the resolution of this story includes an emotional payoff that reflects its scope and attention to detail. Update 7/20/2018: After four episodes, the series has a strong voice and relentless rhythm. I got my rating of "9" growing up
