Featured on WatchMojo: 10 Best Summer TV Shows That Aren’t on Your Radar (2018)
Line of Events
A Montana farming 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 Montanan accent and drifts back into the SoCal speaking voice he usually uses…
One from developers who want to build housing
This series has been running since 2018, but this is my first time watching it. Last night I finished the first episode of the first season, it’s almost 90 minutes long. As for the introduction of the Dutton family, we see that they have a strong influence in their valley, but they are fighting off «invasions». The other from a neighboring Native reservation who wants to get some of their land back and cattle.
They must have stopped when they got to Montana
To help cope with all this and the sheer size of his ranch. Dutton (who is played by a real 60-year-old Kevin Costner) has several grown Cowboy sons and a helicopter with a dedicated pilot. The reason I watched the first episode of the first season (streamed on Peacock) was because I wanted to get to know the Dutton family because I’m currently watching ten episodes of the recent Taylor Sheridan show «1883» which is a prequel of sorts. It was (fictional) 1883 when the Dutton family from Tennessee joined a larger group on a wagon train from Fort Worth Texas «somewhere out west».
With boys born around 1875, 1900, 1925 and the 1950s
Again, it’s 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 grandson of the Dutton patriarch (played by Tim McGraw) in «1883». E.g. "Yellowstone" is a really great series, the actors are all first class, the cinematography and sound are excellent. It’s just not the kind of show I can get invested in and keep watching.

It’s hard to find characters with redeeming qualities, and I really don’t like shows that focus on constant arguments and fights and often killing in the long run. Now in my 70s, I prefer to spend my time watching "pleasant" stories. NB — "1883" is a really great and interesting series, how it authentically portrays the great effort involved in pulling up roots and traveling through unknown territories to try to find a new life in a new place.. The new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
