I Watched 1883 For The First Time, I Was Shocked By How Much Differently It Hit Me Than Yellowstone
In the first third of 1883’s premiere, you’ll see a burning wagon and a man burning down his house after losing his daughter and wife to smallpox. That sets the tone for the rest of the series about the ruthless origin story of the Dutton family finding the ranch that will eventually become the Yellowstone. Now, as a fan of the Yellowstone shows, I expect violence, brutality and devastation. However, when I watched 1883 for the first time, it hit differently than the rest of them in all those departments.
