1 The Territory Actor Is Weirdly Repeating The Same Character Arc He Already Did On A Previous Show

Warning: spoilers ahead for Territory season 1.An important Netflix character Territory is played by an actor who previously embodied a similar figure on a different show, and his latest casting reflects the arc of the previous role. THE Territory The cast helps tell the story of a family cattle farm in Australia and various characters on and off TerritoryThe Lawson family tree is competing to replace the authoritarian patriarch. All Territory character has an impressively developed plot for a six-episode series, but one in particular is in the middle of a narrative that will feel very familiar to the actor playing him.

Territory the season one finale comes with a compelling cliffhanger, making it obvious that writers have more plans for the future of Australian neo-Western. While some cast members will not return due to their characters’ deaths, most of the actors who appeared in the show’s inaugural season will likely return to continue the story. Territory Season 2 happens. In this case, a specific character’s future could be partially predicted by where one of the actor’s previous narratives ended in another project.

Michael Dorman’s Graham Lawson had a very similar character arc in the first season of Territory to For All Mankind’s Gordo Stevens

Dorman’s Apple TV+ sci-fi character shares several traits with his Western Netflix counterpart

Michael Dorman plays Graham Lawson in Territoryand Pop’s eldest son may be recognized by Apple TV + fans For all humanity. Dorman appeared as Gordo Stevens in the first two seasons of the alternate-history sci-fi show, and Gordo’s story acts as a sort of framework for Graham’s. Both men are troubled alcoholics whose alcohol consumption not only affects their professional lives, but also their respective marriages. Gordo and Graham also manage to fight addiction and stay clean.

In the recovery process, each of them is able to reach their potential at work, while also regaining the love and respect of the women in their lives. Although Gordo’s wife had left him before his reemergence, Graham’s other half had not severed the bond between them – although she very well could have. The parallels between Gordo and Graham’s journeys might have been easier to ignore if more time had passed between your Dorman’s departure from For all humanity and your Territory debut, but the fact that there is only a two-year gap makes the connection hard to miss.

Dorman’s territory character arc continuing to mimic Gordo’s would spell bad news for Graham Lawson (and Emily)

Gordo’s death could be a bad omen for Graham

For all humanity the season 2 finale completed Gordo’s redemption causing him to sacrifice himself to save the US moon base. Not only that, but the newly reunited love of his life followed him in a selfless act, causing them both to make a heroic and emotional exit. If Territory continues to base Graham’s arc on Gordo’s, so his character’s immediate future could involve a similar moment of virtue that costs him his life. Depending on how closely Dorman’s two stories are intertwined Territory season two could also lead to Emily Lawson’s death under similar circumstances as Gordo’s wife.
