1923 is good, but I felt 1883 was the superior of the two. At least so far; 1923 will have a second season.
1883 was such a pure departure from the Yellowstone franchise, and it was just magnificently beautiful filmmaking from story to cinematography. 1923 is still more grounded and gritty than Yellowstone, but I find it flirts with the cheesiness and simple storytelling of the original series. To say it less pretentiously, 1923 is more digestible with a broader appeal.
On another note, I swear the characters in this franchise could fall in love with a glass of water.
