DVD Review: Yellowstone - Season 1

Yellowstone: Season 1
[DVD Yellowstone]

John Dutton and his family own a large ranch in Montana. This series revolves around the challenges of owning the ranch while simultaneously trying to keep people from encroaching on their land. Season one involves things like land developers trying to steal their land to make it a national park, differences of opinion with the tribal police, integrating new cowboys, and dealing with local politicians, all while trying to keep family secrets hidden. The series is well-cast, and adds some humor in when needed but it’s mostly drama. It’s really interesting because you get to see things from their family’s viewpoint, their hired hands’ viewpoint, and the outsiders’ viewpoint.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Hell on Wheels, The Son, Longmire or any other western series on DVD.]
