BBG News

1923, an acclaimed period drama recognized for its compelling nature, has swiftly ascended the UK streaming rankings.

In this new series penned by Taylor Sheridan, we delve into events preceding the popular Western drama “Yellowstone,” focusing on characters Cara, portrayed by Helen Mirren, and Jacob Dutton, played by Harrison Ford, as they navigate 1920s America.

Starting in December 2022, the initial season of the historical drama series was made available on Netflix in the United Kingdom and Ireland more recently. Since then, it has been well-received by viewers as it reached the third spot on Netflix’s popularity rankings (as reported by FlixPatrol).

The initial season, comprising eight episodes, was widely acclaimed by critics who collectively gave it a 88% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 41 reviews. This consensus emphasized the series’ persistent dark atmosphere and the enigmatic charm displayed by Dame Judi Dench and Harrison Ford in their roles.

1923, according to The Sydney Morning Herald, is exceptionally gripping. Taylor Sheridan’s writing is so tense it seems ready to shatter at a moment’s notice, while the Chicago Sun-Times described it as hard to resist and compulsively engaging.

This year, the second season of the series started later than expected on Paramount+ in February, and new episodes have been airing since then. However, these latest episodes haven’t made their way onto Netflix just yet, but we can expect that to happen at some point down the line.

The second installment received more praise than its initial version, as Rotten Tomatoes is currently showing a flawless approval rating of 100%, based on 20 reviews. The Playlist was among the positive feedback, describing it as “engrossing” and “ambitious”.

The second edition earned more appreciation than its predecessor, Rotten Tomatoes indicating a perfect approval rating of 100% from 20 reviews. The Playlist was one of the positive comments, calling it “thrilling” and “ambitious”.

As a passionate viewer, I can’t help but express my enthusiasm for the captivating second season of “1923”! This series is a mesmerizing blend of exceptional storytelling, meticulous writing, and thought-provoking themes that keep me hooked. It’s not just entertaining; it’s genuinely engaging. And if you’re looking for something that never fails to hold your attention, “1923” is definitely worth your time.

As a gamer, I’ve been hooked on the rising sensation, 1923. Recently, Brandon Sklenar, an actor from that show, confessed something quite intriguing. He admitted to pocketing a few mementos from the set after filming wrapped up. In his own words: “I’ve got his hat, and I’ve got his passport – that’s really neat! It’s authentic, like a genuine 1920s passport.

The actor, who portrayed Spencer in both seasons, also mentioned that he has some old bullet casings from World War I, some patches from Spencer’s uniform, and has certainly built up a small collection of items related to Spencer Dutton.

1923 season 1 is streaming on Netflix, while season 2 is streaming on Paramount+.

The latest print edition from Digital Spy has arrived! You can purchase the “Oasis – Live in ’25” issue at your local newsstands or online for only £8.99.
