The land grab threatens to destroy the crumbling dynasty
Narrative
When the massive Lawson breeding station goes undercover, rival Australian factions see a chance to seize control. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they’re barely inhabited – let alone on screen.
It’s Yellowstone, set in the wilds of northern Australia!
Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park – with special permission from the Traditional Owners – and Tipperary Station, a real, working breeding station that’s so big it has its own airport and school. And if that sounds both funny and a little over the top, it is.
I’m only a few episodes in, but the series already ticks all the right boxes
Rampaging bulls? Yes.
Let me just say that
Bar fights? Rampaging, killer dingoes (?!) Of course.
I can’t wait to see this movie!
The tackiness is sustained by some good performances, especially from the ever-reliable Anna Torv and the wonderful Robert Taylor, who plays a more flabby, disgusting, and misogynistic version of Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone character here. The best part, though, is the scenery, which is every bit as stunning as you’d expect.
