The theme depicted of the resentment to outside rich people using Montana as a playground is spot on. The current Montana governor is not even a Montanan. He could learn a lot from John Dutton's attitude. I have seen my home state changing in a way that most Montanans are not happy about, just like the show.
Taylor does a pretty good job of getting things right but there are some that drive me crazy. Nobody in Montana pronounces coyote KY-Ote-E. It's pronounced KY-Ote. Yes, I know the original is more accurate but that's still not the way Montanan's say it.
I always laugh when they are hopping around from town to town that they mention. Montana is the fourth largest state in the union. You don't just hop in the car and leave the Paradise Valley and drive to Helena.
Another thing is, having been raised on a ranch, no rancher ever has pickups as pristinely clean as depicted on the show. A true working ranch has dirt and grit all over their trucks. It might seem small to some people but again, it's just one thing that is not a true depiction.
I know Beth is a heroine to some but I'm finding her meanness towards Jamie tiresome. She is nasty to literally everyone except her dad and Rip.
As someone else mentioned, another thing that drives me crazy is it is snowy and cold in November, which this month represents considering they just had an election. Believe me, it is not always blue skies and warm in Montana. As much money as they have for a budget, obviously, they could at least do some shooting in the winter to make it more realistic.
What is up with requiring so many characters to write a review? Now I'm forced to just ramble so I can meet the required character limit.
