A land grab threatens to destroy the declining dynasty
Scenario
When the huge Lawson cattle station has no successor, rival factions in Australia see a chance to take control. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they are almost uninhabited – let alone shown on screen.
The series offers a refreshing look at power struggles, family dynamics, and the gritty grit of frontier life without the glossy, overly stylized presentation found in shows like Yellowstone
Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park – with special permission from the traditional owners – and Tipperary Station, a real, working cattle station so large it has its own airport and school.. The territory delivers that, which so many modern western dramas try but often fail to capture: authenticity, depth and a raw character-driven storyline that grips you from the first episode.
Unlike other shows in the genre, Territory doesn’t ' Bet on exaggerated drama or pretentious monologues
The actors bring every bit of their A-game, delivering nuanced performances that reveal the complexity and depth of their characters. Each episode reveals layers of their motivations, strengths and vulnerabilities, painting a landscape where no one is simply “good” or “bad.” It’s a world where the characters are as raw as the terrain they inhabit, but their struggles are deeply relatable, drawing you into their emotional battles as much as their external conflicts.
If you’re looking for a western drama with substance, Territory is absolutely worth your time
Instead, it unfolds with a storytelling style that’s honest and grounded, making it feel almost like you’re eavesdropping on real lives. Writers and directors respect the intelligence of their audience by trusting us to pick up on the subtleties without everything being explained.
