1923

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.

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. Season 2 just ended recently and I'd be shocked if this show doesn't end up at least getting nominated for numerous awards.

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'm no prude, I understand this is "wild west" in a grittier time and I watch dark stuff. But my god, I am so over the sexual violence. It's every plot line, almost every female character and including a male victim. The amount of SA sneaking into shows lately is alarming and should not be in tv shows. This show is making me nauseous at this point. Sheridan really needs to reflect on his life and why he feels the need to continuously include so much misogyny disguised as "showing how wild the West really is/was." If anyone is thinking it's not that bad, it's constant exposure to it like this show that is desensitizing people. The amount of trouble these characters get in at every single turn is gratuitous as well, but I can't support an aimless show that lost its way this season that fills the void with SA.

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.
