Upheavals threaten to destroy the fading dynasty

Chronology

With no successor to the huge Lawson cattle farm, competing factions in Australia see an opportunity to seize power. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and South Australia, in such remote places that they are practically uninhabited, let alone shown on the screen. Sites include Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (by special permission from the traditional owners), and Tipperary Station, a real working cattle station, so large that it has its own airport and school.

Yes, it is compared to Yellowstone

Yes, there are the same top drinks, conflicts and eccentric characters. Yes, you can refer to many similar problems. For me, the two main problems are things that happen simply because they have to move the plot forward.

Plots that do not make sense

The head of the family simply decides the issue of succession without considering the pros and cons of each option. Secondly, there are plot holes that exist for the same reason, to move the plot forward. The station is supposed to be the size of Belgium, but it is run by a family (starting with 4 people, later expanded a bit more) and it seems to be a skeleton group.

Tension builds, conflicts intensify, passions flare up

But, of course, greedy companies ask them to take it away. I still don’t like that everything is constantly evolving. and then everything is resolved (somehow) in half an hour.

Cinematography is good, nature is wonderful

But it’s a good show if you don’t pay attention to it.
