Yellowstone

All original characters; no established or historical figures are race- or gender-swapped.

Beth Dutton is a fierce, dominant female character, but men are central, capable, and not framed as the problem; this is character writing, not a message.

• Beth Dutton's ruthless boardroom and personal dominance
• John Dutton remains the powerful patriarch

Minimal LGBTQ+ content; the show centers heterosexual relationships and family dynamics.

Native American characters and the reservation storyline fit the setting naturally rather than being a checkbox.

• Thomas Rainbird and the Broken Rock reservation arc
• Mo and other Native ranch hands

Touches on land development, indigenous land rights and conservation, but folds these into the conflict rather than sermonizing.

• Disputes over land between Duttons, developers and the reservation
• Chief Rainwater's arguments about reclaiming ancestral land

The show largely celebrates rugged cowboy masculinity rather than framing it as toxic.

• Bunkhouse cowboy culture portrayed admiringly
• John and Rip as traditional masculine figures

Original creation with no source material to betray.
