Season 1 Review: This just might be the greatest Western on TV since “Lonesome Dove” some 30 years ago. Read full review

Season 1 Review: 1883’s unflinching depiction of its setting and characters gives the series a sense of gravitas, which it balances with tenderness. This series displays the worst of humanity, but the series offers more than just a glimmer of hope. A blend of perseverance and optimism through backbreaking times gives 1883 the potential to be the prestige western fans of the genre have been waiting for. Read full review

Season 1 Review: '1883' never feels like a perfunctory franchise expansion. ... But the writing isn’t without its snags. ... Still, '1883' has the characters, the scope, and the vision to become an exciting new chapter of the 'Yellowstone' franchise. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Overall, 1883 is a grand, well-made Western adventure that fans of the genre and the less soapy parts of Yellowstone will enjoy, should they choose to embark on the perilous journey from cable into the streaming frontier. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The first couple of episodes are a bad attempt to do Deadwood-style revisionism and the third is a bland attempt to do a straightforward Western, stripping some of the — forgive me — dead wood from the ensemble and adding just a little romance and very limited comedy to the bleak nihilism. Sheridan’s target audience will probably already be invested long before then and those with initially casual interest will have previously checked out. Read full review

No, but name a drama on TV that is. It's entertainment that emotionally draws you into the story and the characters. Everything from the writing, the scenery/photography, and the fantastic episode to episode performance by actress Isabel May. Loved each and every soliloquy provided by the protagonist. Many were truly thought provoking, and put you immediately into the character's frame of mind. I can't see how season 2 can be anywhere near as good, but I truly hope that it will be.… Expand

I started watching Yellowstone a few months ago, and while it's not what I would consider a great series, it entertains me. Still, I wasn't too sure about watching this spin-off.

Eventually I did and have been watching it throughout this month because I'm interested in seeing 1923. Mostly because of Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, although apparently it's not necessarily mandatory to see this or Yellowstone to understand the plots.

This project itself like the one that spawned it has no elements that can advocate for plot depth, but it achieves what it sets out to do in terms of entertainment.

It's one of those cases where you can say there was no need for this spin-off to exist beyond continuing to exploit the franchise, but considering I didn't have a bad time watching it, also the good reviews 1923 is getting and that I like Yellowstone even with its bloated soup operish tone, it definitely wasn't a waste of time.

1883 it's a slow series, but if you like westerns, you should check it out.… Expand

Woke western that has Taylor Sheridan writing dialogue straight out of a bad Mills & Boon romance novel. With the exception of Sam Elliot, nothing in this progressive pile of horse dung rings true or feels authentic to the time - 1 star for the Billy Bob cameo.
