1923

I generally like Sheridan's because they present multiple viewpoints, we don't necessarily have to agree with. 1883 was a knockout, for story-telling, history, and character development.

1923 would have been even better than 1883 if not for the gratuitous snuff porn. I'm not talking about the usual sexual violence women face from day to day, as reasonably portrayed in this series, but about Whitman's appetites specifically.

We already know Whitman is a sociopath without any boundaries or redeeming features. Negatives about any character are easy to portray offscreen (assuming they are even necessary). Filming the snuff-porn and giving viewers no option to view a less offensive version does absolutely nothing to advance the plot, or improve the Sheridan brand.

In my opinion 1923 and 1883 both surpass Yellowstone.

Good actors, good direction and better writing. Taylor Sheridan just keeps doing better stuff!

While even reusing some of the plot of the original 1923 make it more grandiose. The African story is majestic and the Native Americans dark history isn't hidden nor diminished.

Man... Where do I start. It's short (which is why I watched it - usually don't watch TV Series). It's not very faced-paced, it is really slow at some points, but that doesn't mean bad. It is beautifully shot with a lot of great scenery, animals, countries. Two of the characters are in non-stop adventures which I loved - they go from place to place, trying to go home and meet new people... I love this kind of dynamics.

There are a few stories that cross paths at some point, and it is very well made.

The direction is 10/10, and the script altough cliche and melodramatic at some points, somehow works :D I mean, yeah... Hollywood drama, but made well and really hits you. If you ar esensitive, you will cry! :D

The acting... Man. Altough all of the actors did their job to the max, I believe Julia Schlaepfer stole the show. She just crushed the role, and especially the last episode. They will not give her an Emmy probably, but it is one of the best performances I've seen in my life. Bright future for this one hopefully!

One minus are some not graphic but... disgusting BDSM scenes. I am okay with that, I like BDSM, but this one particular character was too much to me and it was gross (not graphic, that's not the issue, but too much they show how twisted he is, and i turns me off. Creepy disgusting villain.. like sadistic next level.)

Anyway, altough kinda Hollywoodish, there were lots of unexpected deaths, which I really appreciated. Plot armor was there, yes, but didn't last until the end :)

Don't know hat to say. I love mix of all genres - adventure, drama, action, lots of romance and yeah - this one delivers which is rare.

Final Score: 8/10.

Doesnt quite have the "Cowboy" character that Yellowstone has but still better than most. The Africa storyline is by far the best part of the show and I really hope those two keep that energy when they get home to the ranch. At the Dutton Ranch it felt like it was buildong and building to something but just never popped off. One thing I will say is the animal CGI during attacks is pretty terrible. Havent seen CGI that poor in quite some time not show breakingly bad but definitely distracting. Perfectly good show, Yellowstone was just phenominal so I had great hopes.

Great except for the tug boat nonsense. Lame , how did a "ghost" ship run into the tug boat and overturn it? I have seen series 1 and if there is any more Bollocks I'll abandon it , 1883 was brilliant and Yellowstone was great , don't disappoint me or I'll watch Better call Saul ,Game of thrones or Breaking bad again.
