Scandal and Yellowstone

Ok fair warning, I have only seen the pilot for Scandal and Yellowstone but from my minimal viewing I think they have the same set up and same basic premise but different context/location.

For example these parallel characters. 

Olivia Pope/John Dutton - Powerful leader, has all the answers, makes all the decisions. Is largely unquestioned.

Huck/Rip Wheeler - Hitman, super loyal but no conscious. This character is the reason I cannot watch either show. I have no stomach for the violence.

Quinn Perkins/Kayce Dutton - audience in, new (or like Kayce a return) to the core group.
