Review of Paramount+ ‘s Yellowstone Spinoff: Dutton Ranch

Paramount+ welcomes a new addition to the “Yellowstone” universe with the drama series “Dutton Ranch.” Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprise their roles as Beth and Rip, alongside franchise newcomers Ed Harris and Annette Bening. This time, our favorite characters are starting fresh on a cattle ranch in Texas, leaving behind the Montana landscape.

From the moment we see Beth and Rip admiring the quiet peace of their new surroundings, we know trouble is brewing. And sure enough, before the opening credits even roll, a fire threatens their serenity, setting the stage for drama and conflict.

Despite their attempts to leave the past behind, Beth, Rip, and Carter bring their emotional baggage with them to Texas. However, the change in scenery allows “Dutton Ranch” to captivate both loyal fans and newcomers. In the first four episodes given to critics, the series balances new storylines with the familiar soap operatic elements that fans of the franchise love.
