Smith, who plays Lloyd, is a seasoned rodeo hand
Story
A Montana ranching family faces off against others encroaching on their land. Forrie J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his Montana accent and reverts to his usual SoCal voice.

This series has been on the air since 2018, but this is the first time I’ve watched any of it. I finished the first episode of the first season last night, and it’s nearly 90 minutes long. As for the introduction of the Dutton family, we see that they have a powerful influence in their valley but are fending off “attacks.” One from developers who want to build condos.
The other from the neighboring Native reservation who are looking to reclaim some of their land and livestock
To cope with all this and the sprawling size of his ranch, Dutton (played authentically by Kevin Costner, in his 60s) has several grown cowboy sons and a helicopter with a dedicated pilot. The reason I watched the first episode of Season 1 (on Peacock streaming) was to get a sense of the Dutton family, as I am currently watching all ten episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s more recent show “1883,” which is a prequel of sorts. It was (fictionally) in 1883 that the Dutton family from Tennessee joined a larger group on a wagon train from Fort Worth, Texas to “somewhere out West.” They had to stop when they reached Montana.
With sons born around 1875, 1900, 1925, and the 1950s
Again, this is all fiction, but if we look at the ages of the men and the fact that Costner was born in 1955, his character would probably be the great-great-grandson of the Dutton patriarch (played by Tim McGraw) in “1883.” For example. “Yellowstone” is a very good show, the acting is all top notch, the cinematography and sound are excellent. It’s just not the kind of show I could get invested in and keep watching.
Now that I’m 70, I’d rather spend my time watching “enjoyable” stories
It’s hard to find characters with redeeming qualities, and I really don’t enjoy shows that constantly focus on arguing and fighting, and often murder, in the long run. NB – “1883” is a very good and interesting series, which authentically depicts the great difficulty of uprooting oneself and traveling through unknown territories to try to find a new life in a new place.
