John has four adult children: Lee (Dave Annable), the son who stayed to help run the ranch Beth (Kelly Reilly), the only daughter, who escaped to the city, where she’s a take-no-prisoners corporate banker Jamie (Wes Bentley), a lawyer who, desperate for his father’s approval, defends his interests in court and then there’s rebel son, Kayce (Luke Grimes), a former Navy SEAL who now lives on the nearby Indian Reservation with his Native American wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille), and their son, Tate (Brecken Merrill).
There’s Costner’s patriarch, John Dutton, who’s ruthlessly protective of his land and wields power over the Montana town in which he lives and his children’s lives. The first episode of Yellowstone, “Daybreak,” begins by introducing viewers to the Dutton clan, who own the sprawling Yellowstone Ranch in Montana.
Yellowstone, Season 1, Episode 1 recap: “Daybreak”
#Yellowstone season 1 episode 1 series#
This is especially true in the two-hour series premiere. Throughout there are lots of plodding, vague exchanges, punctuated by bursts of violence that don’t feel entirely earned. Unfortunately, the story and pacing of the series’ first two episodes are uneven. There are big sweeping shots of the beautiful, wide-open landscape, a soundtrack dedicated to country and bluegrass music, and horses and cowboy hats everywhere. Given its pedigree, it will come as no surprise that Yellowstone nails the look and feel of the genre.
