Sam Elliott in 1883 (2021)

Review by tinyfordst

The Weep of Surrender

1883

5/10

Not 1883, more like 2023

This show supposedly takes place 140 years ago, that much I can accept and I really like the show. But I don't like at all is the attempt by the writers to bring this show up-to-date with modern times.

Children, no matter if they were 18 or not, would never ever in their whole lives, have even dared to think of speaking to their parents in the way that Elsa spoke to her mother in this episode. The children would never even consider the idea of treating their father (especially if they are folded, is one like Tim McGraw's character) the way that Elsa supposedly three turbulence 140 years ago. The blatant disrespect for parents, delegation of being an adult when you turn 18 and your parents not having a say over you anymore, and the claim to be a woman and accordingly you pick yourself up... that is all 21st century garbage and it would absolutely never have taken place in either the circumstances location or time period that the show takes place in.

I do not like when period pieces forget the period that they are setting and unfortunately for this amazing show that I dish completely forgot that this was 140 years ago. Unfortunate.
