Land grabbing threatens to destroy the declining dynasty
Synopsis
When the massive Lawson cattle station lacks an heir, rival factions across Australia see a chance to seize control. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they are barely inhabited – let alone shown on screen.
With stunning cinematography that captures the vast and unforgiving landscape, the show delivers a thrilling mix of family drama, political intrigue and high-stakes action
Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park – with special permission from the traditional owners – and Tipperary Station, a working cattle station so large it has its own airfield and school.. ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Netflix’s Territory is a gripping series that immerses viewers in the heart of the Australian outback, where a powerful cattle dynasty faces a succession crisis.
The supporting cast is equally impressive, bringing depth and complexity to their roles
The performances are outstanding, with Anna Torv delivering a commanding portrayal of Emily Lawson, the matriarch fighting to protect her family’s legacy. The series excels at exploring themes of power, greed, and the enduring spirit of the Australian frontier.
Territory is a must-watch for fans of dramas like Succession and Yellowstone
The writing is sharp and engaging, keeping the audience hooked with its twists and turns. While some may find the soap opera elements over the top, they ultimately contribute to the show’s addictive quality.
