Yellowstone follows "the Dutton family, led by John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders land developers, an Indian reservation, and Americas first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the worlds largest oil and lumber corporations.

(16,104 posts)Costner did "Hatfields and McCoys" recently, not too bad.
Pierce Brosnan is in a Western now, "The Son." "Lonesome Dove." "Hell on Wheels" was very entertaining.
Traditional and non-traditional Westerns stay popular!

(26,260 posts)I admit that I enjoyed many of his earlier films, despite him being in them. I always pictured Jeff Daniels as better suited for Dances with Wolves. (I know some of the Native actors who were in that film, and they didn't have a lot good to say about Costner. Had mainly to do with some broken promises. Go figure.) Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves was saved by Alan Rickman. His flat affect in The Untouchables - yikes. Again, saved by the supporting cast.
But his acting in some of his later movies, when he's not playing a "storybook hero" - Wow. He has finally matured into a really good actor. I'll definitely keep an eye out for this series.
