1923

Almost everything about this shows predecessor was perfect. Hard to follow on the heels of that. This does an okay job, but it's clearly plotted for something much, much longer. And the stakes are entirely different. In 8 long episodes, probably 4 episodes of things happen. It has some pretty great moments, but it is spinning its wheels in favour of a very slow burn, which is unfortunate. Setting the bar so high and trying to clear it an entirely different way is not the best foot forward,

It's far from bad though. It's the contrast that hurts it. There's still great performances, thankfully. The sometimes? Return of the narrator of 1883 is very welcome too. The new characters seem well situated. It just feels a bit toothless, to me.

1923 hooked me right from the start! It was so much fun to dive back into the Dutton world, especially during such a fascinating time period. The show juggled multiple storylines, but they all felt equally interesting. And let me tell you, I was obsessed with Alex and Spencer! Their chemistry was undeniable, and I was rooting for them the entire season. By the end, I was practically glued to the screen willing them to get together.

If you're a fan of compelling characters, intricate plots, and a dash of romance, you don't wanna miss 1923. It's a fantastic continuation of the Dutton family saga!

Taylor Sheridan does it again, he proves yet again great writing, great storytelling, amazing character building.

The story of the challenges at the begining of the 20th Century for the Dutton family struggles continue.

It's going to be a shame like 1883 that there is only one series.

The story sets out differently for members of the family who are not just Yellowstone as well as a young Indian girl whose story is sometimes hard to watch.

I do not want this review tospoil your watching of a great show, but wanted to add my plaudit to many others.

All I will say this is a worthy watch and you will not be disappointed.

1923 is the next prequel to Yellowstone after 1883 and like those two shows this is just as incredible! As a huge fan of those two shows I was really looking forward to this and it did not disappoint! It continues to follow the Dutton family and show how they created the Yellowstone ranch. This obviously takes place in 1923 during prohibition and the Great Depression. It's another gritty western from Taylor Sheridan. Sheridan is one of the best things going on television right now, everything he touches turns to gold. Just look at his resume (Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Sicario, Hell or High Water, etc.). Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren lead an amazing cast who are all at their best here. I can't wait until Season 2 comes out and I'd be shocked if this show doesn't end up winning numerous awards.

I REALLY like some bits of this series and find other bits oddly off...as if they don't fit the rest of the story genre-wise. The most off bits are the scenes with Spencer and his love interest Alex. Unfortunately the casting of her really ruined those scenes for me. She is supposed to be British from London but speaks standard American and her too peroxide hair and a forever giggling, flirtatious 'vaudeville' acting (even in highly distressful scenes) means you can't take her seriously. She doesn't feel real, and so all those scenes just feel like a much less dramatic genre than the rest of the series where especially the scenes at the Indian nunnery school stand out in intensity. Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford's characters are also impeccable, nuanced and full of gravitas. All in all a great series but with a bit of genre confusion.
