I’m going to confess something: I’m not very neighborly. I don’t talk too much on the stairs, something that makes it easier for me to live on a ground floor, and I don’t entertain myself much beyond the “hello, how are you” or the classic “it seems that it has cooled down these days” that you could hear in any random elevator in Spain.
But not long ago I discussed something with my neighbor through the window, while I was hanging out and he asked me how everything was going. The conversation arose by chance, even more so if we think about the age difference that separates us. He is about 65, and I am 37. He told me that he and his wife were hooked on a new series on SkyShowtime because they had gotten tired of the Netflix subscription and it was cheaper for them. “What series?” I asked curiously, expecting something like the new one by Miguel Ángel Silvestre.
He didn’t remember the name, but he did remember that Harrison Ford came out and he was like from the west. “Is 1923. The series you like is 1923, Anthony”. And he smiled at me with a nod from the other side of the building, leaning against the window and satisfied that he knew which one it was.
Wow I know. The series we are talking about is starring Hellen Mirren and Harrison Ford, created by Taylor Sheridanand is the prequel to yellowstonea drama with western touches that we already talked about here. And now my neighbor and I have more in common than just community meetings, we’ve been hooked on the same series.
1923the latest hit from SkyShowtime
Set 100 years ago, the story of this prequel revolves around Jacob and Cara Dutton, an older generation of the family who will have to face pandemics, the historic drought, and the end of Prohibition in Montana at the time.
The cast is completed by Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Jerome Flynn and Julia Schlaepfer, among others.
This drama follows in the wake of yellowstone and like him, it captivates us with its slow and rhythmic rhythm, its western touches and the interesting family history of the Duttons with some brilliant Ford and Mirren. Everything mixed made it a success in the United States which is now repeated in Spain.
One last piece of good news for everyone who has already fallen for this drama: it has been confirmed season 2 of the prequel yellowstone which this time will tell the story of Bass Reeves. Antonio and I will have a lot to talk about when it opens.
