1923 continues the Yellowstone series as a prequel to Yellowstone and a sequel to 1883. 1923 follows the Dutton family; continuing to tell how the Dutton's have fought over their land throughout the decades.
Harrison Ford is cast as Jacob Dutton. Brother to James (Tim McGraw) from 1883. Helen Mirren plays Clara; Jacobs wife. The Duttons once again find their land trying to be stolen out from under them. Then comes the side story of Spencer (James and Margaret Dutton's son) who is being summoned home from his African hunting excursion by his Aunt Clara to help fight for Yellowstone.
I was excited for 1923 based on this cast alone. However, it's just not drawing me in. Harrison Fords acting is dry. The gravelly voice; Complete lack of emotion like he's reading a script. Helen Mirren has a horrible Irish accent that isn't really needed at all. There is no "Connection" between these two. It's like watching paint dry.
The story of Spencer is like a whole different series that makes zero sense. Not only does it seem disconnected, but his love interest "Alex" is the most unlikeable person. Stupid jokes. Misplaced sarcasm. I cannot stand her. I wish a lion would eat her, or she'd drown.
I'll finish watching the series because I am curious how it will tie into Yellowstone and John Dutton, but after the beautifully written 1883, this is a let down.
