Yellowstone is Dallas with better scenery and cows. Same dysfunctional family, outsiders trying to take away what the patriarch has acquired. If you watched Dallas you've seen this. I keep watching because of the attractive,smart,alcoholic,slutty daughter. I seem to have a weakness for her type :-))

I think Yellowstone is more representative of Montana. I noticed early on that I recognized some of the terrain and knew it wasn't filmed in the Yellowstone area. Sure enough, a lot of the filming, including some of the scenes of the big barn with the big Y on the roof, was done in the East Fork of the Bitterroot River -- still Montana, but not Yellowstone. I worked on that Ranger District back in 1965, my last summer before graduating from Forestry School. My brother still has an elk camp upstream from the fork. Yellowstone illuminates a growing concern that many of us old timers have: the West is being overrun with commercial interests at the expense of open space. I support the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, which attempts to sequester wild space for habitat. As for the characters, Costner plays his well and I have no complaints about the acting of any character, except for the language.. The "F" word seems to be in every other sentence for some of them. I actually prefer "Longmire", which represents a fictional sheriff in a fictional town in Wyoming. It's on Netflix now. Right now I'm going back to some of the first episodes, which aired before I started watching. In defense of the cultural portrayal of characters in "Big Sky", I saw on a National Geographic channel program about drug traffic in Montana. I was unaware that is so prevalent.
