No idea. Never even heard of it. What's it on? Who makes it? Who is in it? What's its about?

How long is it out?

Is that the one they keep showing the trailer for with Helen Mirren doing a terrible Irish accent?

It's the lead up to yellow stone if your going to look at it you have to look at 1886 first is about the generations of the Dutton's

I'd recommend watching them in the sequence which they originally aired.

You should watch Yellowstone seasons 1 to 4 first.

Then watch 1883. It is a one season, ten episode story with the main protagonist Elsa Dutton, the older sister of John Dutton Senior, she is the great aunt of John Dutton III (Kevin Costner's character in Yellowstone) It tells the story of how the Dutton family of James and Margaret Dutton (Tim McGaw & Faith Hill) came to Montana as pioneers and why the Yellowstone ranch is located where it is. There are a number of plotlines from the 1883 family's story revealed in a couple of flashbacks during Season 4, so you will know a little bit already going into the show from YS.

Then watch the first part of Yellowstone season 5 (episodes 1 to 8)

Then watch 1923 season 1 (eight episodes) This show is planned to last for two seasons.

After that lot you will be ready for whatever the second part of Yellowstone season 5 and the other spin-off shows brings us later in the year and beyond.

The two additional shows from which are also on the way soon:

6666 concerns a (real life) famous Texas ranch to which one of the long time characters of the main Yellowstone show was transferred. The relationship between the Yellowstone ranch and the 6666 has been establishing a lot in recent seasons. I expect this show to be very, very similar to the main show.

Bass Reeves is about the first black US deputy marshal (this was a real person), and though I'm unsure exactly how, the time in which Reeves lived suggests it may tie in somehow with characters introduced during the 1883 show.

Enjoy!

1923 sure is slow hard going

great characters but it’s turning into a bit of a slog

Clareman

I've watched them all as well and find 1923 to be the most gripping, I assume this is a spoiler free thread so I won't go into my reasons on thread.

I think you are fine I dont think many are watching it.

There seem to be a lot of nasty feckers in 1923, nasty businessmen, nasty religious people, nasty lawmen, and nasty corrupt judges and politicians. It even highlights a nasty law, Miscegenation, a backward law that was still law well into the middle of the 20th Century.

I don't know how much exaggeration there is in 1923, but Montana at least must have been a nasty state to live in.

Sudden Valley

I think for most of history in any place your life would be pretty bad if you didnt have money or influence. Timothy Dalton is providing a worthy villain to the show- Yellowstone and 1883 both lack interesting villains

Clareman

I'm liking 1923 because the storylines are seperated, they aren't forcing to have all the characters in 1 place at the same time and then making it clear that they aren't there, stuff like Kevin Cosner's lighting being completely different, camera over the shoulder characters during conversations, crap like that really annoy me.

The whole "Out of Africa" things is gripping for me, some great story telling, character development, etc. etc.

The 1 thing that's down for me is the whole Timothy Dalton character, he's either a moustache twirling villan or he's Joffrey, having him being both is odd.

(Thanks to the mods by the way for marking the spoilers)

Just finished it there, Jesus it’s a hard watch in places. Need to watch a comedy now or something

I've Walker Independence on my to watch list, it's CW show it'll be a bit easier to watch, probably a lot cleaner as well :D

Tony EH

Just watched the first half of this last night and my god, the scenes in Nairobi were bloody awful. Just terrible Mills and Boon tripe. So badly contrasted with what was happening back in Montana.

Agent Coulson

Flimimg of the second season has been delayed indefinitely due to the writers strike.

Spon Farmer

Just finished season one. Great story, great characters and great cast.

There wasn’t much surprise in John being killed. A Dutton not shown on the main credits is not going to be around for long. Same thing happened on YELLOWSTONE in the first episode.

Spencer and Alex are good enough to have a series just about them in Africa.

Timothy Dalton just superb as the Big Bad.

I kept expecting Teonna to end up under the protection of the Duttons until they revealed her family name. Nice to get some background to Rainwater. The Chairman and Mo are are a great pair of characters who are unforgivably sidelined in Season 4. They could carry a series set just in the office talking.

I don’t think Zane and Alice’s cliffhanger is going to have a happy outcome. Don’t think I’ve ever even heard the word before, let alone that it was alas. I dread finding out what happens to the poor woman in custody.

I’m confused by Alex’s royal title. Her ex-fiancé’s father is the Earl of Sussex, so his wife would be the Countess of Sussex. How can Alex also be the Countess of Sussex ?

Did/Does the captain of a British ship really have to obey a minor royal ? Surely the safety and protection of the passengers overrides that ?

Spon Farmer

Did Joseph Mawles really leave RINGS OF POWER for that very small role in two episodes?

I thought he had been cast as a villain for season 2 or something. Seems mad to give up a big role for a guest star spot.

The Black Oil

Second season arrives on Feb 23rd.

I wonder if this show is losing popularity. The plot progress is glacial and Timothy Dalton seems like he is in another show with his seasons with the women (reminding me of Ramsay Bolton in Game of thrones).

They are just setting him up for a big fall, I expect he ends up in the train station.

JP Liz V1

They really messed up Spencer and Alex this season, they had great chemistry

Is their John, the father of Costner's John?

Sudden Valley

Have to agree they really teased a positive ending. Somewhat annoyed what they did with the Timothy Dalton villain this year , was fairly useless and part of needless and repetitive scenes involving the prostitutes.

I'm totally lost on the family tree now.

Clareman

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123335264#Comment_123335264

Father, Costner was John Dutton the Third, Spencer's brother was the 1st.

JP Liz V1

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123336062#Comment_123336062

Spencer's son his father, John II ?

Clareman

This series just didn't make sense and it was way too convoluted. The different story lines.

Main ranch - random threats in town waiting for the train to arrive.

Spencer & Alex - random crash next to a train, big jump off a train that was going at full speed only to catch up with it again only for Alex to die rather than have her feet cut off.

Indian girl - WTF was the point in that story line?

Dalton - evil guy with an evil girlfriend, failed to make him an actual threat like they had him setup to be.

Clareman

Yeah, should have been clearer, sorry.

I thought the last episode was a great ending.
