A Montana ranching family faces off against others who encroach on their land. Forrie J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his Montanan accent and slips back into his usual SoCal voice.
Featured in WatchMojo’s Top 10 Summer TV Shows That Aren’t on the Radar (2018). (Reviews are for the first two seasons only) I wasn’t expecting to like this series, but the story, acting, and cinematography are excellent. It’s basically Montana’s Mafia Wars with a dose of testosterone (cowboys with guns on their horses while fishing)!
The show starts off as a bit of a dud in the beginning of season two, but picks up again in the middle of season two. Kelsey Asbille is the weakest link as Monica and she plays poorly, the story falls flat and the acting just misses the mark. I think Cole Hauser may be the strongest actor as Rip (along with Costner himself) and I can’t wait to see every scene Rip is in.
The story is riveting and the scenery is beautiful. Just as Cormac McCarthy’s "All The Pretty Horses" was a bit more raw and brutal than the title suggests, this show hits me in a similar vein. I highly recommend it and wish I hadn’t waited so long to watch it.
