Netflix pulls out all the stops

Paramount+ owns Yellowstone, Netflix owns Territory. This is how we could summarize the arrival of this new series as it has, at least on paper, similarities with the series worn by Kevin Costner. The story takes us to the Australian Outback. The Lawson family owns the largest livestock farm in the world there. But as generational conflicts break out within this clan, this farm finds itself without a successor. From then on, cattle barons, desert gangsters, indigenous elders and billionaire miners are all preparing for war to regain control of these lands.

With this pitch, we immediately distinguish a plot modeled on that of the Paramount series. The fate of the Lawson family is very similar to that of the Dutton clan, but that does not mean that Territory has nothing to offer viewers, far from it.

A hit Western

Where Yellowstone takes perfect advantage of the landscape of the American natural park, Territory focuses above all on this typically Australian setting and highlights the country's Aboriginal culture. In addition, the series also has an excellent cast with several well-known faces, starting with Anna Torv, famous in particular for her role in the Mindhunter series. We also find Michael Dorman, seen in for All Mankind, Sam Corlett who participated in the spin-off Vikings: Valhalla or even Robert Taylor, star of the series Longmire. A dream setting, an all-star cast and a proven story: in short, Territory has plenty to seduce spectators. And that’s already the case. The western is second in the Top 10 Netflix series in France since its release on October 24. A nice success therefore, which could well push the platform to produce a second season very soon.
