Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton in western garb in Yellowstone
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Yellowstone star Luke Grimes calls out liberal critics who dismiss the neo-western drama series as too conservative. Initially premiering in 2018, this Paramount Network western centers around the Dutton family, owners of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, the largest ranch in Montana, and their struggle to keep their land away from an Indian reservation and land developers.
I think a lot of people see a cowboy hat and a horse and they think, ‘Oh, that’s not for me, those people believe differently.’ And it’s almost like they take these flawed characters in the show and chalk it up to some sort of weird belief that they’ve put on them. Meanwhile, you can have a terrible person like Logan Roy, who lives in an apartment in Manhattan, and that’s fine. That guy’s a total piece of s***! But that’s OK.
The show being set in Montana adds a bit of credence to the conservatism claims, as Montana is largely considered a conservative state, but it goes to great lengths to portray the ways in which land ownership affects people like the indigenous Americans who originally lived on the land now owned by the Duttons. An ongoing plot thread involves Chief Thomas Rainwater's fight to reclaim the land stolen by people like the Duttons, showing another side to the thematic concerns of the series.
