What to say...? 1923 isn't as strong as either Yellowstone or 1883, both of which my wife and I really enjoyed. 1923 just didn't grab us in quite the same way. We watched episodes seven and eight last night and as the credits rolled for the season finale my wife and looked and each other and said 'is that it?' It'll be interesting to see how season 2 shapes up as the whole of season 1 seemed to be laying the foundations for it.
Both Helen Mirren's and Jerome Flynn's accents I found to be distracting. Just cast Irish and Scottish actors to those roles as they just didn't work.
It just didn't feel as well written, in terms of both the story and the characters and the 'big names' weren't enough to carry it over the line.
