Anna Torv and Sam Corlett in Territory
Audiences and critics alike have been raving about Netflix's Australian Western series, Territory, landing it on the streamer's Top-10 list. On its face, Territory seems very similar to Yellowstone, the Paramount hit show, which is coming to an end with Season 5 later this year. With a similar premise to its American counterpart, Territory follows the Lawson family, led by aging patriarch Colin Lawson , as the family fights to maintain control of their cattle farm.
With the newly vacated position, the Lawson family now needs to figure out who will take over Marianne Station. Emily Lawson believes it should be her husband and Colin's eldest son, Graham , but Colin doesn't trust either of them to take over. Anna's family has a sordid history with the Lawsons and Graham suffers from alcoholism, making him unreliable in his father's eyes.
When the audience meets Colin, it's clear that he's widely known as not a good guy. He's abusive to his son Graham, he holds irrational grudges and his toxic beliefs are clearly stuck in the past, making it hard not to hate him. Robert Taylor and the writers of Territory clearly lean hard into this idea, not afraid to make Colin the villain of the show.
'Territory' Delivers More for its Women and Indigenous Characters Close ✕ Remove Ads Another big difference between Yellowstone and Territory is how the two shows treat their female and Indigenous characters. Most of the women in Yellowstone are very one-dimensional and don't really have their own storylines.
