Line of Events

A Montana ranching family confronts others trespassing on their land… Forry J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his Montana accent and revert to his usual SoCal voice. Featured on WatchMojo: Top 10 Summer TV Shows Off Your Radar (2018) This series has been shown since 2018, but now I am watching it for the first time.

Another from a neighboring local reserve who wants some land and livestock back

I finished the first episode of the first season last night, it’s almost 90 minutes long. When it comes to the introduction of the Dutton family, we see that they have a strong influence in their valley, but to fend off "attacks." One of the developers who want to build apartments. To help deal with all this and the sprawling ranch, Dutton (authentically played by 60-year-old Kevin Costner) has several grown-up cowboy sons and a helicopter with a dedicated pilot. The reason I watched the first episode of the first season (streaming on Peacock) was to get a sense of the Dutton family, as I’m currently watching all ten episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s latest program, 1883 .

which is kind of a backstory

It was (made up) in 1883 when the Dutton family from Tennessee joined a larger group to travel by wagon from Fort Worth, Texas to “somewhere in the West.” They definitely 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 patriarch Dutton (played by Tim McGraw) in 1883. e.g. With sons born about 1875, 1900, 1925 and 1950 in "Yellowstone" is a really great series, all the actors are top notch, the cinematography and sound are excellent.

It’s just not the kind of show I can invest in and keep watching

It’s hard to find characters with redeeming qualities, and I really dislike long-running shows that constantly focus on arguments and fights, and often murder. Now that I’m 70, I prefer to spend my time watching "nice" stories. NB – "1883" is a really nice and interesting series, how it authentically portrays the great difficulty of uprooting and traveling through unknown territories to try to find a new life in a new place. The new "Silo" season; is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
