1883

I keep getting tricked into watching these Taylor Sheridan dramas because they look like westerns.

2 episodes to go. Might as well power through

Whoops, confusing the series with 1923.

This one was alright but a bit on the heavy side. 1923 is the one I would not bother watching at this point unless they do another season to finish it.

really enjoyed Landman - watch it if you haven't, its hilariously great and funny and over the top drama - and decided to finally start the Sheridan TV universe with this show since its the first of the Yellowstone shows (chronologically). Will move to 1923 next after a palette cleanser of some modern comic hero shows.

It was ok. I really, really, really liked the Oregon Trail vibe of the show, it was a cool setting you don't see often and the sweeping western vistas were amazing. Sadly by the end it turns into a girlboss / injun show that is pretty tropey but still overall worth the hours, although the main character is nails-on-chalk with how much philosophical voice over she has every episode which is ridiculous for a 18 year old chick with zero life experience.

the wildest thing to me though was I was 100% sure that was Jennifer Lawrence (hunger games, x-men) as Elsa, and only seeing the credits on Plex as the last episode rolled did I realize it wasn't, the actress is Isabel May. Jesus Christ how do these two chicks look like clones
