Smith, who plays Lloyd, is a seasoned hand in the world of rodeo
Synopsis
A Montana farming family faces off against others who are encroaching on their land. Forrie J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to "forget" his Montanan accent and drifts back into the SoCal speaking voice he usually uses… Featured on WatchMojo: 10 Best Summer TV Shows That Aren’t on Your Radar (2018).
Costner is a master actor in the lead role of the Duttons
(Review is for the first two seasons only) I came into this show not expecting to like it, but the story, acting, and cinematography are brilliant. It’s basically Mafia Wars in Montana with occasional giant doses of testosterone (cowboys with guns on horseback while fishing)! The show is at its best when it shows the chessboard moving according to the Duttons and their enemies.
Thomas Rainwater is also great
The show gets dark at the beginning of the second season, but starts to pick itself up again halfway through. Kelsey Asbille is the weakest link as Monica and plays a bad hand badly, the plot falters awkwardly and the acting just falls flat. I think Cole Hauser as Rip might be the strongest actor (aside from Costner himself) and looked forward to every scene Rip was in.
The story hums along and the scenery is beautiful
Much like Cormac McCarthy’s “All The Pretty Horses”; it was a bit more raw and gritty than the title suggests, this show hits a similar note. I highly recommend it and wish I hadn’t waited so long to see it. The new season of “The Silo” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
