New Australian Series ‘Territory’ Draws Comparisons to ‘Yellowstone’ but Receives Mixed Reviews

A new Australian TV series titled ‘Territory‘ has been making waves among fans of the popular American drama ‘Yellowstone.’ Available on Netflix, ‘Territory’ is often described as having a similar soap opera-esque feel to ‘Yellowstone,’ but with an Australian twist. However, the reception has been mixed, with many viewers expressing disappointment and others finding some redeeming qualities.

Some viewers have noted that ‘Territory’ leans more towards the classic soap opera style of ‘Dallas‘ rather than the more nuanced and poetic writing of Taylor Sheridan in ‘Yellowstone.’ The series has been criticized for its depiction of excessive physical and mental abuse, which some found illogical and off-putting. Despite this, the show does offer insights into Australian indigenous culture and land management practices, which some viewers found interesting.

While ‘Territory’ attempts to capture the drama and family dynamics similar to ‘Yellowstone,’ it has failed to impress many fans of the latter. Several comments on social media platforms indicate that viewers found the series disappointing after the initial episodes, with some even switching back to watching ‘Yellowstone’ instead.

The debate around ‘Territory’ highlights the challenges of replicating the success of a series like ‘Yellowstone,’ which is known for its deep exploration of themes related to nature, rural America, and the human experience. Taylor Sheridan’s writing style, which is praised for its poetic quality, sets a high bar for other series attempting to follow in its footsteps.
