A great cast that was under utilized. Would have liked to see Faith Hill and Tim McGraw with larger storylines. Kept waiting for more character depth, but it never came. The Dutton’s daughter, Elsie had the largest role and yet her story, despite being so prominent was increasingly boring and repetitive. Despite1883 being a historic prequel to Yellowstone, the characters were unconnected to the massive ranch. Was hoping for an explanation as to how the Dutton family was able to amass the largest ranch in the country. However, all we watched was the typical wagon train homesteader story. Perhaps, 1923, the next Yellowstone prequel, will fill in the missing pieces…
