A harsh Yellowstone prequel about the Dutton family during Prohibition, Western expansion, and the aftermath of World War I. The series is beautifully produced but very adult: brutal violence, sexual content, abuse of Indigenous children in residential schools, strong profanity, and grim themes of survival and revenge.
