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.
Featured reviews
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.

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.
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 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.

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.
