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
Excellent
I remember watching the movie The Culpepper Cattle Co back in the day (1972) and wishing that American Westerns added a bit more realism and a sense of history. Sadly even to this day we get your Doris Day girl next door and Audie Murphy type offerings
I tried Yellowstone and didnt like it. My Wife refused to watch anymore of 1883 as she said there was too much talking.
1923 on the other hand is a gem. It gives you a real sense of how the West was and how it transitioned into the 20th century. From the plight of the Indians to the hardships the farmers endured it was all there. It gave me insights that I as a European had no knowledge of.
I thought the acting was excellent even if some characters have been heavily criticised.
Alex's portrayal of a spoilt English aristocrat was annoyingly spot on even if her accent at times was dreadful. Helen Mirren's Irish accent was dreadful but her acting was excellent as was Harrison Fords. My wife hated Timothy Daltons character saying he was wicked and evil so he got that spot on. Jerome Flynn was the stand out performance for me personally. Oh almost forgot Spencer Brandon Sklenar) , one for the ladies to swoon over. I could go on but I am no film buff. Just wanted to do a brief review and say if you haven't watched it you should . It wont disappoint.

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.
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!

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.

- 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.
