The first two episodes of Dutton Ranch, the further adventures of Beth
and Rip from Yellowstone, dropped yesterday. Given the huge fan base of Yellowstone, I expect some of you have watched those episodes.
I had thought this was going to be another series written by Taylor
Sheridan but the creator credit went to Chad Feehan with an
acknowledgement that Sheridon and John Linson had created the
characters. In other words, this is similar to Marshals, the series
following Kaycee Dutton from Yellowstone but NOT written by Sheridan.
Dutton Ranch looks like it is going to try to be a slightly smaller
version of Yellowstone in that it moves to Texas and Beth and Rip have a
much smaller operation than the Yellowstone. Quite a few characters have
been introduced which creates the potential for a lot of plot lines.
There is already tension between Beth and Beulah Jackson as well as
between her son Rob-Will and Rip. Rob-Will has already killed a man and
Rip discovered the body without knowing who the murderer was - and
promptly moved the body, causing concern for Rob-Will's brother Juan.
Finn has already had some romantic drama.
There's enough going on that I'm sure it will sustain my interest for
the entire 9 episode season. What about you?
