- dogcomplexJanuary 15, 2026As a leftist liberal woke sissy I am sadly still going to watch everything Sheridan ever makes and complain the whole time about propaganda while actually loving it. This one's no exception but 1923 is a higher step up. Still, no modern story captures the essence of an old way of life like this. Or at least - its tall tale version. You're there in the casual mass horror of the life on a wagon train. You fear the river. You feel that fleeting thin strand of human experience that somehow stubbornly carried on to establish the modern world. You laugh a bit at the native whitewashing, and how they found the only black cowboy and just happened to be good friends. But you also appreciate this much mainstream coverage and reverence for native culture - pros and cons. It's all a little self-serving when you place it with the overall propaganda of Sheridan shows, but it's still good to see, and still hits the heart. I think this is a standalone great work. 1923 is closer to a masterpiece though. Yellowstone is great too but its seven layers of propaganda and trouble lol. This one just lays out the tone and cultural history of an american (rural conservative) way of life that feels entirely - well - right. Hits us woke liberals right in our weak point - the feelings. But the best tall tales do that. They're true in an emotional way that goes deeper than the nuances of reality. Can't deny that here. That's why I watch this guy. He absolutely knows how to find that heart, and he's the most dangerous storyteller of our times because of it. Hat's off.

- Eldon McGuinnessApril 10, 2025This prequel to the Yellowstone Show is set in the post-Civil War era and follows the Duttons as they make their way west via wagon train. Ultimately the story is a setup to show where the Duttons come from and how they become the landowners and ranchers you see in Yellowstone. The scenery is just amazing and does a fantastic job of immersing you in what must have been like to be on this epic trail west. And the acting? Just a treat to watch, from the regular focal Dutton family characters and the leaders of the wagon train to the extra families that are also hoping to find a new life in the West.
