1883

[anonymous-user]

For those that like Yellowstone - the prequel spin off series.

Story of the Duttons, great first episode.

[Corso Marche]

Agreed, second episode was equally good.

Will have to wait until mid-January (Christmas travels, family etc) to catch up on episodes 3,4, and 5 and looking forward to it. It has great potential judging on what was delivered in the first two episodes.

Waiting for Season 4 of Yellowstone to finish before starting on this, but good to know it's had a promising start.

They're also planning a spinoff based around the Texan 6666 ranch that Jimmy is working on in S04 of Yellowstone.

This series is awesome, maybe better than Yellowstone!

Beautifully shot, wonderful script.

If you like a good western, this is a good western.

[Corso Marche]

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Wasn't sure what to expect before it was released, but it's been a fantastic show so far.
The wife turned to me after last weekend's episode and said "this is my favourite TV show in years". And I don't think she's ever taken to watching western stuff before.

Highly recommended.

I wonder if they will keep it historically accurate.

It started well for me - very well - but I've just watched episode 6 and I think it's lagging a bit now tbh.
There's a LOT of romance. And long fireside conversations about romance.
I'm waiting for some major plot device to happen....

I don't think it's as good as Yellowstone - there just isn't enough happening yet.

[Corso Marche]

This turned out to be a very good TV drama.
9.1/10 on IMDb and 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I will say it is nothing like Yellowstone though, so if you're expecting something like that then this is not it. By a country mile.
It's a very different story, told in a very different style, but worth watching.
It's been confirmed it was a 10-episode limited series, so it's done and the story is told, but if TV drama is your thing then this is very much worthy of a try.

1883 brilliant series stunning camera work, early story of the family (Yellowstone)series ,the writers really hit the nail on the head shame it has to end but what a finale, can’t compare it to Yellowstone as that is also very good.

Just seen the finale.
Enjoyed it in the end.
Definitely worth watching.

How are people watching this?

[AlexRS2782]

My guess would be via streams / dl's from certain online "sources" as it's currently only available in the US & Canada on Paramount's own subscription service.

[Alex Z]

I’ve not watched Yellowstone so can’t compare, but this was the best show I’ve seen this year. Amazing writing, cinematography and cast.

[Mykap]

Wow just wow. Brilliant. Binge watched over 3 days. Superb.

Channel 5 are showing the first episode of 1883 on Thu 9th Feb at 10pm. Like they did with Halo and Tulsa King it will only be the 1st episode to promote Paramount+.

I thoroughly enjoyed 1883 having never watched an episode of Yellowstone yet. It’s haunting, tragic and very sad - a gritty story that is wonderfully written and executed.

I’ll watch 1923 next, Harrison Ford’s new series, also a prequel to Yellowstone.

I use a VPN to keep access to a subscription service I got in Portugal called SkyShowTime that launched at €2,49/mth for life that includes Paramount+ among others (Universal, Showtime, Sky, DreamWorks etc) so I’ve seen Halo, Tulsa King and the new Star Trek already.

Thanks for mentioning this service, as I'd not heard of it. After a quick google I found it's launching in our region/country next week so gonna give the free trial a whizz and see if they've any launch offers available.
