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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

This series is simply amazing! The continuation springboarding from the 1883 series. Every single cast member is believable and I felt as though I was right there with them in every scene. Helen Mirren has long been a favorite of mine and she does not disappoint. Harrison Ford does an outstanding job of portraying his part as well. The rest of the cast compliments each other so well. The many lives and stories expertly intertwined into a masterpiece. 1883 and 1923 will be rewatched often in this house. These prequels to Yellowstone have been carefully thought out. Each detail meticulous in its execution.

1923' explores the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the Mountain West, and introduces a new generation of Duttons who call it home. SERIES INFOThe Duttons face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression1923 is an American Western drama television series that premiered on December 18, 2022, on Paramount+. The series is a prequel to the Paramount Network series Yellowstone and serves as a sequel to the series 1883, with Isabel May reprising her role from the latter as narrator Elsa Dutton. In February 2023, the series was renewed for a second season of eight episodes..

Look I for one love Taylor, Sheridan, and his writing. I have watched his stuff for years and followed it from the beginning. I liked Yellowstone a lot and have continued to like the 1883 series as well as the 1923 series, but that being said 1923 can be a frustrating watch.

The pacing if off, and often dragging out certain storylines to the point of exhaustion. Spencer's arc, in particular, feels like it's moving at a snail's pace, making his journey home more of an endurance test for the audience than an engaging subplot. It's as if the show runners are determined to throw every possible obstacle in his way just to extend the suspense-when in reality, he just needs to get home already.

Another issue is the sheer amount of unrealistic hardship the Dutton family faces. Yes, it's a Western drama, but at some point, it almost feels excessive-as if the writers sat down and asked, "How much more suffering can we pile on?" Elizabeth, while part of the family's struggle, comes across as a spoiled brat, making it difficult to feel much sympathy for her.

Look, I understand it's a hard time to be suffering and a difficult time to be living, but this also needs to be a show that is pasted well enough to keep the audience engaged and I am getting bored and I would like to see something good happen. For hell sake's let's just get some revenge already, and move onto a different storyline. I wanna like the show, but I find myself consistently being frustrated by it.

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.

I did not finish to watch it yet (but actually I dont want to), but I am in shock with that series! Its amazing! The histories, they way it is telled, how it changes generation to generation... I'm in love with this show.

I watched 1883 and omg, just as good as 1923, very sad, also a lot of happy moments, just crazy how the feelings change while you watch it. I just think it would be incredible if they change to next generations until it is at 2024 hahahahahah Thanks a lot for this perfect production! And you that is reading it, don't think twice to watch it. You're not gonna loose your time.

I just finished watching the series, and all I want is the next season, not just the next, but the NEXT ONES (if the stories continue to develop as well as in this first season). I'm amazed, the last episode had me simply crying, I urgently need the next season.

It's been a long time since I watched something so emotional and a story so well told like in this series. Not to mention the actors, what a performance, what a job, everything was magnificent, such a beautiful production. Congratulations to everyone involved.

The quality is surprising, it's impossible not to become a fan of this series and not recommend it to others.

Please, don't leave the series without a proper ending, keep producing. I believe that I, along with thousands of other people, am eagerly waiting for the next seasons of this wonderful masterpiece.

I'm very sure the general public is ignorant about the Indian Boarding Schools that were rampant throughout the West during that time period and were run by churches and our government. The Heard Museum in Phoenix has an excellent display of the horrors that we subjected Native Americans to in order to assimilation them. Taylor Sheridan is just referencing real history. If you think it's horrible, good. It was. That's how white people treated Native Americans then. As to the character of the young girl, Teonna, I believe she will be the ancestor of Chief Rainwater in Yellowstone.

As to the young man playing Spencer Dutton, he's in Africa because he was too traumatized by WWI to go home. If you don't know the history, you won't understand.

We are only 2 episodes into 1923. Sheridan has said it will take 2 seasons to complete this story. Be patient. There's a long way to go.

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.

The second season of this TV show feels like it's stuck in neutral after a strong first season. While the first season laid down compelling storylines and developed a few intriguing characters, the pacing in season two is a real drag. Instead of building on what was established, it seems like every episode piles on trauma after trauma, with little progress in the actual plot. It's as if Taylor Sheridan is more focused on cranking up the misery than actually moving the story forward. The constant onslaught of tragedy feels overbearing, and at this point, it's hard to see how it contributes to a meaningful narrative. I'm not sure I'll stick around much longer if things don't pick up soon.

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.

First, let's talk about Taylor Sheridan. I don't like 'Yellowstone' and stopped watching it when I realized it was a soap opera and not a drama and all of its characters are unlikeable. In the case of the daughter-despicable. I thought 1883 got off to a brilliant start, but lost its way after the halfway point. I thought Sheridan's screenplay for 'Hell or High Water' was fantastic. His screenplay and direction of 'Wind River' was outstanding. I love 'The Mayor of Kingstown' and I'm really liking 'Tulsa King.' So, it's a mixed bag.

1923 starts out like a drama and let's hope it stays that way. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are perfectly cast. Isabel May, from 1883, is back for the narration, which will upset some who couldn't stand her accent, but I thought her poetic narration was perfect.

So, 1923 is off to a promising start and I look forward to the next episode.

Big fan of Yellowstone and 1883 so was expecting great things from 1923; so far so good!

1883 had the western vibe, with a romantic, dreamy narrative, which I loved.

Yellowstone is outstanding for a plethora of reasons (Kelly Reilly is queen!), but mainly I enjoyed how they've woven current time city problems & the old, generational country cowboy lifestyle.

1923 has an entirely different feel to it to both of the above and still somehow manages to keep Yellowstone fans excited. I love how we've ventured from the ranch/Montana into new surroundings (Africa) with the wonderful Brandon Sklenar to give us a bit of a respite from the fields and mountains (although breathtaking) and to keep things interesting.

So far, very excited for the rest of the season and can't wait to see what Taylor Sheridan comes up with next for the Dutton family!
