Smith, who plays Lloyd, is an experienced hand in the world of rodeo
Scenario
A ranching family in Montana faces off against others encroaching on their land.. Forrie J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) frequently seems to have "forgotten" his Montanan accent and drifts back into the SoCal speaking voice he normally uses.
Kevin Costner is the patriarch presiding over a dynastic ranch that is the size of some countries
His way of life is being impinged upon by resort developers, tribal rights, and the authority of the state of Montana. Reminiscent of Rock Hudson’s "Giant" develops quickly with little introduction, yet its story unravels with the natural pace of a wilderness day, pausing for tribal rituals, cowboy conventionalities, and political machinations. It’s a far flung undertaking that dwells on the seams between laws and justice, family and friendships.Costner fills his character’s boots naturally, it seems.
The land and the family are his lifeblood
He is a world-weary man who has seen too much and lied too often. He can hear the footsteps coming his way, but he can only fulfill his role-out of habit as much as loyalty slice-of-life glimpse into another world. I hope the resolution of this saga includes an emotional payoff that justifies its breadth and its attention to detail.Update 7/20/18: After four episodes, this series has a strong voice and a persistent rhythm.
