For starters, let's just say 1923 is a fantastic show. The setting is faithfully recreated, the acting wonderfully done, and it's well-written. It does, however, feel a bit 'Game of Thrones' in that it starts off with a ton of action in the pilot and then feels like a very long prelude to the season two finale, and in between, you watch these characters tortured in various ways over and over again. The bad things pile one on top of the other and that's a tad tough to watch, as the writers are great at making you care about these characters. The other reviewer took issue with the depiction of the Catholic Church, but it should be noted, the depiction of the Catholic Church in 1923 is accurate and the church did (and does) exactly what is depicted. Nothing here is unfair, and some of what you see still occurs today. Personally, I am glad 1923 didn't dull down the historical content to assuage religious people. Chances are you will enjoy this show immensely, just know it takes a while to get there.
Read the whole review on TMDBI'm sorry for the loss of what could have been an excellent show. But some things bother me. But first positive things. Most of the main actors are very good, the landscapes are beautiful, and the period is also something that I personally just like to see. The first problem that I have is with bashing Christianity and the catholic church, which is in my mind completely exaggerated and takes too much space in this show. In this show nuns and priests are portrayed worse than the mafia or KKK. I'm not religious, it's just portrayed misleadingly bad over the top. I'm not American and I have great respect for the Indigenous people of America (whom we just call Indians) and the great loss of life, land, and culture they suffered but blaming the Catholic church for that is just a lie. Also, the actress playing Teonna is very unlikable and irritating. The second problem with the show is that some scenes are prolonged too much, like most of the love scenes. I just had to fast-forward such scenes because I became bored. Third is a skewed view of right and wrong created in the show by the creators of this show. The main character hanging five people is OK, he just had to do it, killing a bun
