In the early 20th century, the Dutton family faced new challenges, including western expansion, prohibition, and the rise of the Great Depression. The Great Depression began in America in 1929, and it began in Montana. The Great Depression began in Montana in 1918, about 10 years before the rest of the country. While the rest of America was thriving, Montana was struggling. Between drought and low demand for agricultural products, the "Great War" (World War I, 1914–1918), many farmers suffered greatly. As a result, Montana farmers would default on wartime loans, leading to widespread bank failures throughout the state. Half of Montana farmers lost their land between 1921 and 1925. By 1925, 70,000 of Montana’s 82,000 homes had been abandoned. In addition, 200 banks in Montana failed. Not only did the drought damage the crops, but the locust infestation also made the cattle susceptible to the infestation. Χάρισον Τορντ (2023). Dame Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. Sounds like a winning recipe. And that’s it. The Duttons are back in Montana and fighting to keep their farming life going. Patriarch Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) is fighting a similar battle to John Dutton (Costner) in Yellowstone. Very entertaining. The story has two other very interesting arcs. One is Spencer Dutton. A disillusioned WWI veteran. Now a hunter in Africa. Spencer meets an English girl he likes. Suddenly they both find out they have to go to Montana from Mogadishu, Somalia. It should be easy…the second arc is about a school where Catholic priests and nuns abuse Native American girls. That part was very unpleasant to watch. There was a revenge that was quite watchable… I usually judge TV shows after 1 season. Not this time. I didn’t like the last episode. Explanation of the reason for the deterioration. But I will watch both seasons. I have…
