A ranching family in Montana faces off against others encroaching on their land.. Forrie J. Smith, who plays Lloyd, is an experienced hand in the world of rodeo. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) frequently seems to have "forgotten" his Montanan accent and drifts back into the SoCal speaking voice he normally uses. I don't believe anyone does western films better than Kevin Costner and with Taylor Sheridan writing it is a win win for viewers. Take a look at "Wind River" for an example of what Taylor Sheridan can do. Where has Cole Hauser been hiding? He is amazing. I guess the daughter is a necessary part, but she is over the top at being a bitch. The scenery is fantastic and being from Colorado I can really appreciate the vast beautiful landscape. Do yourself a favor and get hooked on this series as it is going to be a winner.
