Netflix might have a major hit on its hands with “Territory.”

Series details:

Network: Netflix
Episode count: Six
Cast: Robert Taylor, Anna Torv, Michael Dorman, Sam Corlett and Sara Wiseman
Plot: When the world's largest cattle station is left without a clear successor, generational clashes threaten to tear the Lawson family apart. Sensing this once great dynasty is in decline, the outback's most powerful factions – rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, indigenous elders and billionaire miners – move in for the kill.

Now there are some disadvantages of “Territory” compared to “Yellowstone”. The production value is significantly lower than “Yellowstone.”

The Paramount Network series has the production value of a major motion picture. To put it simply: “Territory” doesn’t do that.

The acting and script, while very solid, are not as good as Yellowstone. This is simply because Taylor Sheridan is better than everyone else, and that leads to more entertaining and engaging results.
