Review by jonnysolem

It has it´s moments, but it´s trying too hard to be Lonesome Dove. Where Lonesome Dove had everything, 1883 have bearly something. The quasi poetic narrator and the pompous trying-too-hard story is almost impossible to watch sometimes. And why put Sam Elliot as the tough guy number one? He´s a good actor, but he´s not number one tough. Clint Eastwood knew when it was tine to step down, still being tough. But this is not Elliots fault, its the creators. For those new to western series or those who haven´t seen Lonesome Dove, it´s...watchable, maybe.
