Chronology
A family of ranchers in Montana are faced with others encroaching on their land. Forry J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his Montana accent and revert to his usual Southern California voice.

This series has been running since 2018, but I’m watching it for the first time now. Last night I finished the first episode of the first season, which is about 90 minutes long. As for the Dutton family, we see that they have a strong influence in their valley, but they are reflecting the “attacks”.
One of the developers wants to build condominiums
The other is from the neighboring Indian reservation, who wants to return some of his land and some cattle. To cope with all this and the sheer size of his ranch, Dutton (who is played with confidence by Kevin Costner, 60) has a couple of grown cowboy sons and a helicopter with a dedicated pilot. The reason I watched the first episode of the first season (on the Peacock streaming channel) was to get a feel for the Dutton family, because I’m currently binge-watching ten episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s 1883 series, which is a prequel of sorts.
For example, with sons born around 1875, 1900, 1925, and 1950
. It was (fictional) 1883 when the Dutton family from Tennessee joined a larger group to leave Fort Worth, Texas, “somewhere out west.” They probably 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.
It’s just not a show I’d invest myself in and keep watching
“Yellowstone” is a truly wonderful series, all the actors are top-notch, the cinematography and sound are excellent. It’s hard to find characters with redeeming qualities, and I really don’t like long-running shows that constantly focus on bickering and fighting, and often murder. Now, at 70, I prefer to spend my time watching “pleasant” stories NB – “1883” is a truly beautiful and interesting series, which faithfully shows the enormous difficulties associated with uprooting and traveling through unknown territories in an attempt to find a new life in a new place.
