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.

Could Have Been A Good Show
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.

Loved It
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.
Looking forward to seeing more of this series
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.
Loving it
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!

Good god, the sexual violence is too much
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.

- 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.
