1923 is currently streaming in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium and YouTube TV, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Helen Mirren's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Paramount Plus — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason 1923 keeps coming up in conversation. The writing in 1923 treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. Follow a new generation of the Dutton family during the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home. The performances from Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. The series ran for 2 seasons (2022–2025), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, 1923 delivers. If you have already watched Yellowstone, 1923 is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Helen Mirren carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.

1923 wrapped up in 2025, created by Taylor Sheridan — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
