These pauses, so skillfully executed by director Ben Richardson in the first three episodes, are what make “1923” especially cinematic. Even with so much ground to cover, these scenes rarely exist to just get you to the next scene. There’s more here than just plot, even though there is a ton of plot.

While the initial episodes of Season 2 are slow ones, there’s undoubtedly a propulsive undercurrent and steadily building emotional tension that the show’s first outing largely lacked.

Taylor Sheridan delivers again, picking a monumental period in history. This entire season is set in an amazing era when the ancient world fell away and the roller coaster ride toward modernity began. We can see the seeds of the world today being sown, and of course, the writers take pains to inject wisdom and warnings about the state of affairs today, especially freedom of thought, speech and the pursuit of happiness. The Dutton family is aptly tough as nails, a clear carry over from the struggles of 1883 and carry forward to the ongoing saga of Yellowstone. Salute to Taylor’s courage to explore the painful history of North America after the physical genocide of natives, namely their cultural genocide through church schools, associated humiliation, and many unmarked graves. This issue has barely been addressed in popular media. More historical wrongs are unearthed every year, so this issue needs to be highlighted and reconciled. The Kenya storyline is sweeping and romantic, taking me back to the glory of Out of Africa. Having spent my childhood there, I was enamoured by the accuracy and authenticity of the storyline. The great pains taken to reproduce Africa of the period were truly impressive. The romance between Spencer and Alexandra is for ages and makes one feel alive, and immersed in destiny. The calibre of the acting is just top class, especially from Ford, Mirren and Dalton. What gravitas and finesse. It is clear this tale is a multi-season arc of survival and greed, of revenge and ambition. Can’t wait to see it unfold.

One of the best show I even see. Harrison Ford is the man with hat one more time. Hellen Miren is real wild west's woman. Taylor Sheridan's next masterpice !

Mirren and Ford – both 80-ish, neither a stranger to action badassery – make for such a potent pairing, their chemistry alone is enough to make “1923” feel like an elevated version of Sheridan’s neo-Western fare. ... “1923” keeps a lot of plates spinning, consistent with Sheridan’s plot-forward style. (The pilot is bookended with two violent deaths and concludes with a jump scare, lest anyone think being set in such a bummer of a time makes the show any less pulpy or fun.)

It’s still unclear from the first episode alone how all of the storylines will inevitably converge, or if all of the storylines even work to begin with, but if executed correctly, Sheridan’s prequel can be a worthy star vehicle for its sprawling ensemble.

Yet the consistently shallow and clichéd writing often fades away under the production value of “1923” and the sheer scope of what Sheridan and his team are attempting. It’s old-fashioned dramatic entertainment, where we swallow lines like “I will not allow today to be the last time I see your face” because of the deep sincerity with which they’re uttered.

With Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren saddling up “1923” takes the star quality to the next level, putting a shiny bow on a pretty basic package.

One episode does not a series make, even one of the limited variety. But "1923" tests our faith by presenting subplots running on separate tracks in various places on the planet. ... Ford's stoicism leads the "1923"' mood, a match for the land nature has turned against Montana's cattlemen. But it doesn't make for the most compelling flavor over an hour that struggles to prevent the casual viewer's attention from wandering.

Another absolute hit from the Yellowstone series! This is TV worth watching! Casting, character development, plot, narrative and story are all at the top of their games here! I was hooked again right from the start! The finale was a phenomenal and tragic all at the same time. D*man good show that I wish we got more of!

This is pretty bad. The story is convoluted, although it is supposed to be a continuation of 1883 up to Yellowstone (another soap opera). The acting is unbelievable and Han Solo looks really bad trying to act tough. When will this Hollywood trip end? Our view is "don't waste your time."
