Being a massive fan of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as singers and having watched the first three seasons of Yellowstone which is an excellent modern day western I was intrigued by 1883. I was not disappointed. It is the best tv series since Lonesome Dove another memorable programme. Both McGraw and Hill were outstanding in their roles ably supported by Sam Elliot one of the all time greats in western roles in recent years. This show really dives deep into just how hard the pioneers were and how they suffered the trials and tribulations in heading west to Oregon in search of a new promised land. The acting was superb and all the main characters were fully developed binding you with emotion to their stories. My only disappointment was that the series ended with me wanting more, but it paves the path to having an even deeper understanding of Yellowstone which starts its next season in the UK in 2 weeks, so at least I have something to look forward to!
