The first episode was pretty slow but once we started getting into it we were hooked. Most newer Western movies or series are pretty cheesy with D list actors but 1883 went above common modern standard on this.
I give it a thumbs up!
Yes, I watched 3 more and that's where I am at too.
The acting has been pretty consistent Isabel May handles the action sequences well enough, as a guy Im usually skeptical if the modern actress can pull off the 1880's vernacular, mannerisms and physicality, think both her and Faith Hill have done very well making it semi-believable they could do as the story portrays. They do that mother-daughter dance that happens at that age very well too. Even the gypsy girl i growing on me
Tim McGraw and Sam Elliot too, the guy the played Ennis were excellent. The brutality featured and how they had to be pretty much ruthless but both also have common decency too.
even the narration is solid, it's written well and is somewhat poignant, the locations are good even the CGI is decent.
One thing though they must have an excellent dentist in the wagon train everybody's teeth are pearly white and didn't Claire have a daughter? did I miss where she got killed?
