Land grabs threatened to tear the declining dynasty apart
Scenario
When the sprawling Lawson cattle station is left without an heir, Australia’s rival factions see a chance to seize control. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they’re barely inhabited – let alone shown on screen.
With stunning cinematography capturing the vast, 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 real, working cattle station that’s so large it has its own airfield and school. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Netflix’s Territory is a captivating 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 excellent, with Anna Torv delivering a commanding portrayal of Emily Lawson, the matriarch fighting to protect her family’s legacy. The series excels in its exploration of 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 overbearing, they contribute to the show’s addictive quality.
