Smith, who plays Lloyd, is a regular in the rodeo world
Chronology
A Montana ranching family has to deal with others encroaching on their land. Forrie J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his mountain accent and reverts to his usual SoCal voice.
Another from the neighboring Native reservation looking to reclaim land and livestock
This series has been out since 2018 but this is the first time I’ve watched it. Last night I finished the first episode of the first season, it’s almost 90 minutes long. As for the introduction of the Dutton family, we see that they have a strong influence in their valley, but they turn away from the “attacks.” One from developers who want to build apartments.
To cope with all this and the expansive size of his farm, Dutton (played authentically by Kevin Costner, 60) has several Cowboy sons raised and a helicopter with a dedicated pilot
The reason I watched the first episode of the first season (on Peacock streaming) was to feel for the Dutton family because they are currently watching all ten episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s latest show “1883”; which is a prequel of sorts. In 1883, fictionally, the Dutton family from Tennessee joined a larger group to take the wagon from Fort Worth, Texas to “somewhere out west.” They probably stopped when they got to Montana. Again, this is all fiction, but given the ages of the men and the fact that Costner was born in 1955, his character would likely be the great-great-grandson of the Dutton patriarch (played by Tim McGraw) in 1883.
For example, with sons born around 1875, 1900, 1925, and 1950
“Yellowstone” is a very good show, the actors are all excellent, the cinematography and sound are excellent. It’s just not the kind of show I could get invested in and continue to watch. It’s hard to find characters with redeeming qualities, and I really don’t like long-running shows that constantly focus on bickering, fighting, and often murder.
