Center
Primary
Yellowstone explicitly promotes conservative ideology by framing the central conflict as the defense of traditional ranching life, private property, and family legacy against government overreach, corporate development, and modern progressive values, often championing self-reliance and resistance to external authority.
Yellowstone features visible diversity, notably through its prominent Native American cast, which is integral to the story's setting. The narrative explicitly critiques traditional power structures and land ownership, particularly in its portrayal of the conflict between the white ranching family and the Native American reservation, highlighting historical injustices and giving significant weight to the indigenous perspective.
Secondary
Yellowstone features a gay character, Ryan, whose relationship with a male veterinarian is depicted as a normal and accepted part of his life. The show treats his sexuality incidentally, neither highlighting it as a central theme nor using it for conflict or mockery, resulting in a neutral yet respectful portrayal.
Yellowstone does not feature identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The series primarily focuses on the Dutton family's struggles to maintain control of their ranch, exploring themes of land, power, and family legacy in rural Montana.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Yellowstone is an original series featuring characters created specifically for the show. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous adaptation from which characters' genders could have been swapped.
