Richard Roeper

Dec 16, 2022

With the iconic duo of Ford and Helen Mirren (reunited after starring in “The Mosquito Coast” back in 1986) heading an impressive cast, cinematic-quality visuals, sprawling set pieces and a myriad of promising storylines, the pilot episode of “1923” holds the promise of yet another addictively compelling project from Sheridan.

Just take it on its own merits and it’s a classy product. ... Ford and Mirren have a comfortable chemistry as husband and wife. Read full review

It is the subplot of 1923 that most interests me. The scenes from a cruel school for indigenous young women run by the sadistic nun Sister Mary (Jennifer Ehle) and a strap-happy and possibly pervy priest, Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché), were horrific and brilliantly done. ... Helen Mirren is always hugely watchable and here she also does a decent Irish accent as Cara Dutton. ... Ford is reliably weighty too. Read full review

Just based on the premiere, 1923 is an ambitious undertaking with a ton of potential that will give fans of Yellowstone a series that at times feels familiar and other times feels like it's expanding what Yellowstone can be. Read full review

It’s a big tapestry like “Yellowstone,” and Sheridan isn’t about to change his writing style for two big A-list stars. The show frankly seems to suffer when they’re not onscreen, but you still have to tip your 10-gallon brim to its creator for doing his own thing regardless. Read full review

The Guardian Adrian Horton

The premiere achieves the rough emotional outlines of an epic – the feel of sweeping ambitions – without much specificity of feeling, yet. But there are more reasons than not, especially if you root for Ford and Mirren as elder statesmen of the screen, to watch more. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

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. Read full review

Disppointed. Acting not good. Some story lines are repulsive. Hard to take 80 yr old Harrison Ford pretending to be a tough-guy. We'd say this is a "flip a coin but be prepared not to be too entertained."

1883 was pretty hammy, but 1923 has all the ham with a large helping of extra cheese. It's a Mills & Boon novel and every tacky pulp fiction novel you've ever read with a glistening Fabio on the cover.

It's a Mills & Boon novel and every tacky pulp fiction novel you've ever read with a glistening Fabio on the cover. It is absolutely a guilty pleasure and there's fun to be had, even with the obvious feminist push and woke Indian empowerment back story that plays right into today's sociopolitical agenda. Mr Harrison Ford is fine but looking his age and Helen Mirren is great, as always. Don't take Taylor Sheridan's tacky writing seriously and you may find yourself enjoying this as a brainless time-waster - 5 stars for the Daniele Steele African Romance subplot… Expand

This is a remarkably bad show. Anything enjoyable about 1883 is somehow missing from this show.

They lean into the macho man rancher murder porn aspect of the later Yellowstone, forgoing any semblance of a coherent story. It somehow manages to be painfully slow yet filled with senseless danger scenes, seemingly created purely for providing a break in the otherwise continually dull background music. The dialogue makes no sense from one scene to the next - packed full of “tough words” that prove to be the opposite of what the characters or story actually do. Skip this show.… Expand
