Territory

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.

If ever there was a clone of a show, this is it. This is basically Yellowstone in Australia. It is watchable, and the acting good, but wow, every has a problem and there does not appear to be a good guy. In Yellowstone you either like or hate the main character. Here, there is no way to like someone who is abusive and basically a selfish jerk. But that is my opinion. There are some twists in the plot that will keep you interested, and it is something that will hold your interest, but it does not have the quality of Yellowstone and in some places falls flat. At the end, it leaves it open for a second season but so many of the characters you liked in the show were killed off, so why would I want to watch a season two since the remaining characters are not ones that are interesting.

It is worth a look.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

While I thought this was a beautifully filmed series, the story line is overly melodramatic. The acting is fantastic, the relationship bonds are intriguing, complex just enough. Viewers outside of Australia may be scratching their heads about our gun control laws while watching this. I lived in the Northern Territory for 8 years, there's certainly not this much shooting going on between humans, it's OTT. Makes me think its made for an international audience. The destruction of country and constant manipulation is certainly true to life. Death and grief could be explored in more depth, although the inheritance of psychological trauma does a good job of continuing throughout. It's a very watchable series.

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.
