But I was referring to the main character played by Kevin Costner (he's really good in this role).

Here you have one of the most rich and powerful ranchers in the state ranching on land that his family has owned for over 100 years, and the plot line has a some member of his family or himself killing or threatening to kill someone in just about every episode. It's like the cowboy Mafia or something. Good show.
