Chronology
A Montana ranching family faces off against others who are encroaching on their land. Forrie J. Smith, who plays Lloyd, is a seasoned hand in the world of Rodeo. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his mountain accent and reverts to his normal SoCal speaking voice. Yellowstone is a solidly written drama – great characters, well-crafted – that draws its tone from a few different modern masterpieces. It has the feel and cinematography of Longmire, the plot and bleak perspective of The Sopranos, and the dramatic dynamics of shows like ‘Dynasty’ or any of the other network dramas like it. Much respect has to go to Costner and Cole Hauser – they bring it 100%. It’s well worth your time.
