1923: Season 1

1x03 The War Has Come Home

I've quite enjoyed these first few episodes, and I think the show has been pretty exciting and fun so far. I really enjoy Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in these roles, they fit seamlessly into these characters. Jack and Elizabeth are also lovable. Spencer is clearly meant to be the fan favorite, and they did a good job of drawing me to his character right away. He's definitely getting the Kayce Dutton treatment. The narration from Isabel May is a little weird but otherwise fine. The girls school plot line is tragic and hard to watch at times but in a good way, I just hope it actually ties in somewhere to the main story and characters. This third episode brought a shocking event that I definitely did not expect, also in a good way. However, I am pretty bummed that they decided to virtually not include anybody from 1883 in this show. I'm a little confused why they felt the need to distance themselves from that show so much, and I really wish more characters carried over at leas for part of the show. However, overall this has been really enjoyable. Including 1883, I'm finding the Yellowstone spinoffs to be more exciting that Yellowstone itself right now, which is both great and disappointing in some ways.
