Territorial

Reading some of the reviews here and had to give my opinion, because people may miss out on a terrific watch. It may just be some people are just expecting too much from these shows, but if you fancy a few hours watching great acting by great (don't have to be popular) characters, plenty of storylines to get on with, drama, violence, emotion, scenery, and escape from city life, then please don't miss out. Don't watch it to compare to other shows. View territory on its own merits. From the very start it grips and the thrills and spills don't end to the very last scene, and as the credits rolled, I'm sat here thinking please get season 2 out as quick as possible. I'm already missing this fabulous entertaining show.

Really hard to understand the great reviews here. It's clear they have tried to make their version of Yellowstone, but have failed miserably. My wife stopped watching after two episodes, I probably should have too. Yellowstone is my favorite show, so I was very excited to watch this, but it stupid, it's not funny. It's amazing how easy it is to steal everything in this show, helicopter, cattle and quads. It's just so stupid, no repercussions whatsoever. I will finish series, but probably won't watch additional series.

And I still need another 77 characters to even submit this review. It's the reason I dont submit reviews here, just ridiculous criteria.

It's Yellowstone set in the rugged outback of northern Australia! And if that sounds both fun and slightly over the top, that's exactly what it is.

I'm only a few episodes in, but it's already hitting all the marks. Rampaging bulls? Yep. Bar fights? Tick. Rampaging killer dingoes (?!) You betcha.

The cheesiness is held in place by some nice performances, particularly from the ever-reliable Anna Torv and the marvellous Robert Taylor, here playing a flabbier, viler and more misogynistic version of Kevin Costner's Yellowstone character.

The best character, though, is the scenery, which is every bit as stunning as you'd expect.

I'm looking forward to finishing this one!

This show is filled with amazing talent and the backdrop is beautiful.

The plot is believable and easy to follow but the characters are difficult to like. It wasn't until episode 5 any of them showed any sign of redemption. It was just so hard to root for anyone.

The entire premise of the show is tragedy upon tragedy. Episode 5 brings a reunion of sorts then bam... more tragedy.

There are only 6 episodes and perhaps episode 6 is what brings it all together but honestly, I was so thoroughly depressed after the 1st 5 episodes I couldn't take anymore.

There is such a lack of balance between hope and despair. It wasn't an enjoyable watch for me at all. I only stuck it out as far as I did because I'm such a fan of some of the actors and actresses.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Netflix's Territory is a captivating series that plunges viewers into the heart of the Australian outback, where a powerful cattle dynasty faces a crisis of succession. With stunning cinematography capturing the vast, unforgiving landscape, the show delivers a thrilling blend of family drama, political intrigue, and high-stakes action.

The performances are outstanding, with Anna Torv delivering a commanding portrayal of Emily Lawson, the matriarch fighting to protect her family's legacy. The supporting cast is equally impressive, bringing depth and complexity to their roles.

The series excels in its exploration of themes of power, greed, and the enduring spirit of the Australian frontier. The writing is sharp and engaging, keeping the audience hooked with its twists and turns. While some may find the soap opera elements excessive, they ultimately contribute to the show's addictive quality.

Territory is a must-watch for fans of dramas like Succession and Yellowstone. It's a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the fight for survival in one of the world's most unforgiving environments.
