Summary
Reviewers say '1923' offers strong performances by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, yet faces criticism for inconsistent accents and slow pacing. Stunning cinematography and period detail are praised, but excessive violence and disjointed storylines are noted. Historical injustices are explored, though some find the portrayal of religious figures and indigenous people harsh. The Spencer and Alex romance is divisive, with mixed opinions on its execution. Overall, '1923' is an ambitious but flawed series with room for improvement.

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.
I absolutely love 1923! It's right up there with Yellowstone and 1883. If you're a fan of those two then you'll be a fan of this to. It takes the best of both of those shows and combine it for this one. This is definitely a show for adults with all the violence and language it that's what makes it so good. It's not for children. At this point Taylor Sheridan can do no wrong. He hits home run after home run. I love everything about this show...the acting, writing, directing, production, cinematography, etc, etc. Are all excellent. I mean this stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren for crying out loud. For those two A-list actors to do a tv show you know it had to be good. I know those two are going to get all the attention, and rightfully so, but there are just so many other great actors in this. Too many to even name. I can't wait to see more of this series and where it goes.
I could stop by just putting this title, needless to say that this series had everything to be excellent just as 1883 BUT the appeal to sex and violence scenes in this movie is just unbearable.
I finished watching this series with a sense of frustration and disappointment.
Having loved 1883 I looked forward to 1923 being another great series.
1883 was superb, with great scripts, great plots and great production.
Apart from a promising cast, 1923 has non of these., 1923 does not fit in with 1883 and makes no sense.
It's really really bad, so fragmented. I mean really poor, so poor that it could be just cancelled to give space to a better job.

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!

Dame Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. Sounds like a winning recipe. And it is. The Duttons are once again struggeling to keep their way of farmlife in Montana. The patriarch, (Harrison Ford) Jacob Dutton, is fighting pretty much the same battles as John Dutton (Costner) did in Yellowstone. Very entertaining.
There are two other very interesting archs to the story. One is Spencer Dutton. A disillusioned WW1 veteran. Now a hunter in Africa. Spencer meets an english girl whom he liked. Suddenly those two learned that they had to travel from Mogadishu in Somalia to Montana. Should be easy...
The second arch is told from a school where native American girls are abused by catholic priests and nuns. That part was highly unpleasant to watch. There was a bit of revenge going on there that made it somewhat watchable...
I normally rate TV shows after 1 season. Not this time. I did not like the last episode. Explaining why would meen spoiling. But I'm going to watch season two. I have to...

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Depression of 1920-1921 began in Montana in 1918 and continued longer. Between drought and the reduced demand for agricultural products, due to the end of the "Great War" (aka First World War, from 1914 to 1918), many farmers suffered greatly. As a result, Montana farmers would default on wartime loans which lead to widespread bank failure throughout the state. Between 1921-1925, half of the farmers in Montana lost their land. By 1925, 70,000 of the 82,000 homesteaders in Montana left. In addition, 200 banks in Montana failed. Not only were crops affected by the drought, it was followed by locusts infestation and cattle succumbing to contagion.
