1923: A Yellowstone Origin Story - Season Two

Great show. Good solid story and great acting!! Amazing scenery and sets!!

OMG!! I loved the second season of 1923 it kept you on your toes. What a love story.

Loved this DVD . It's a perfect ending to this part of 1923. Spencer is one of the sexiest men I've seen on DVD in a long time . He comes across very loving and devoted husband. One that we would all want to have .

Love this series. Well done. Only problem was I was done with all the episodes in less than a week. I may watch 1883 and both seasons of 1923 over again

The Best Drama I have ever seen. Terrific action, acting....

I wanted to enjoy this show as I generally love a historical drama and I pushed through season one despite extreme misgivings about the scale of violence against women because it had what this season also has, amazing settings and cinematography, richly contrasting landscapes, multiple storylines moving forward with the anticipation of how they will eventually intersect and the desire to see that culminate. Alas, three episodes in to season two and all my misgivings came flooding back. I have to keep my finger on the fast forward button so as not to be inundated with utterly gratuitous and conceptually pointless vivid depictions of violence in general but especially against women and indigenous people. Even the title of episode 2, "The Rapist Is Winter". Why? Despite all of the action (and, again, extreme violence) three episodes in and it feels strangely repetitive. On the ranch the female characters are alternately fighting off or being attacked by wild animals, Spencer is punching and shooting his way back home, Alexandra is subjected to one brutal experience after another in her immigration story which, as it leaves off at the end of episode 3 suggests that she might be in store for sexual violence in the next episode as well. I wanted to try and wrap my head around this method of storytelling as an effort to tell true stories from history that are not well known (such as the violent treatment of indigenous people in boarding schools) but I cannot accept that the only way to tell these stories is through repetitive and gruesomely graphic depictions which are doubtlessly agonizing for the actors to film and deeply disturbing to view. Women have been subjected to sexual violence since time immemorial and acknowledging that is essential. True. But, one example of how to do that on film that I think worked better was from Downton Abbey where you fully grasped the horror of what was taking place without being subjected to what, in Sheridan's work, often amounts to pornographic violence. Viewing these scenes, my empathy for the characters and their struggles as well as their real historical antecedents is surpassed by my wondering if the person who felt it necessary to commit these scenes to screen over and over isn't something of a sadist.

If you haven't seen this western, you should. It's a preview to the movie/series YELLOWSTONE. It is awesome. Can't wait for season 2 to come out on dvd.

Great series to watch
