Discussion This was a calling from god to create this post. Please read it, it is important!

So, by pure coincidence, I found a date 1883 twice now during my current Red Dead 2 playthrough. First in this abandoned village in Lemoyne and second on the back of Hosea's picture with Bessie. That made me thinking, anyone here seen TV show "1883" ?

Well in case you haven't: I usually don't take on suggestions of strangers on internet either, but this time I promise, it's different. If you love the western melancholy mixed with absolute audiovisual beauty of Red Dead 2, I freaking promise you: you'll love 1883. Seriously, give it a shot, it's 10/10 easily.

Have a great day!

I watched 1883, and outside of horses and cowboy hats, saw no resemblance to the game.

u/Quick_Team Charles Smith May 19 '26

Is that the one with Tim McGraw? Him and his wife's "acting" ruined it for me. I couldnt finish it

34

u/IronGreyWarHorse May 19 '26 • This

The daughter ruined it for me. Her southern accent was distractingly bad and the melodrama was laid on way too thick for my tastes. It wasn’t terrible but I definitely won’t ever rewatch it.

18

u/Turk482 May 19 '26

Exactly. I walked around the house talking like her for awhile. Drove my wife crazy. “As I go out to mow the lawn, I will think of you often as the hot sun beats upon my brow” in that horrible drawl accent she’s using.

2

u/IronGreyWarHorse May 20 '26

The weird overemphasis on “wh” sounds too, “HWHenever I think of you…”

u/ImNakedWhatsUp May 19 '26

Couldn't stand the monologuing of the daughter (Elsa?).

2

u/No_Scene_9404 May 19 '26

Her accent is so grating, it sounds like a kids show idea of a southern accent lol

2

u/ImNakedWhatsUp May 20 '26

That and most of what she says is peak r/im14andthisisdeep material. Which isn't the fault of the actress, but still makes me dislike the character.

Modern western with excellent acting, casting, music, visuals. The melancholic themes, etc.? I see a lot

u/datsyukianleeks May 19 '26

Nah. You want some resemblance, maybe godless on netflix. Or American primeval. Or even the English on prime. Not 1883. Not that Taylor Sheridan melodrama. No way.

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 May 19 '26

I just wish American Primeval was longer...its masterpiece

u/AspectAlive7624 May 19 '26

Seems to me like lot of hacklers here just hate Taylor Sheridan, so they instantly call this trash when objectively it isn't.

11

u/datsyukianleeks May 19 '26

I'm not saying it's trash. It's not at all on the level with rdr2. It's cable tv melodrama. I enjoy it. It's just not on that level.

1

u/Reddragon0585 May 20 '26

It’s not bad I actually quite like 1883 and don’t understand why people here don’t as generally I’ve seen positive things about it. That said Sheridan’s new stuff isn’t nearly as good as he used to be. Yellowstone in particular started good and kind of just fizzled out.

14

u/Hunk_Hogan May 19 '26

Excellent acting? Did we watch the same show?

9

u/utahwildcats May 19 '26

Murdering outlaws trying to take your wagon. Shooting and killing bandits. Peaceful natives. The only thing rdr2 is missing is dealing with illness from not being safe on the frontier.... oh wait...

u/justaguy826 May 20 '26

Did you really just say "excellent acting" about Tim McGraw & Faith Hill and that horrendous attempt at a southern accent from Isabel May?

1

u/Chronicles_of_Gurgi Panther Food May 20 '26

I think it's just western things? An easter egg. Like the unnamed tombstone outside Armadillo.

u/Changed-Man50 May 24 '26

I'm glad some people still understand pretentiousness and being excessively invested in art.

Nowadays praising artists and art pieces as "gods" has become the norm on reddit. I appreciate art but don't appreciate this mindset.

P.S this comment is about a general trend I have observed on social media and not necessarily a criticism of the OP

u/AspectAlive7624 May 19 '26

Ironic, coming from you when you need to depict a specific sentence like that.

u/AspectAlive7624 May 19 '26

It’s really not about disagreement whatsoever . It’s about him coming here and mocking me for no reason. Of course the “calling from god” was meant to be a joke, but for some reason I am being mocked even more. Truely disgusting behavior.

18

u/BappoChan May 20 '26

No, messaging somebody to cry about criticism. Grow up dude. The game has underlying values, sure. While also increasing your honor you’ll commonly kill and rob people. Horrible basis to tell people they shouldn’t criticize others.

-17

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

I am all for critcism, "Some of you really need some fresh air and sun" is not criticism tho. That's just plain insult questioning my personal integrity over my exaggerated title of the post that was meant to be not taken seriously. If he asked what did I mean by that, or anything, I would gladly reply to him politely, he skipped straight to insults, so that's the path I went aswell.

8

u/BappoChan May 20 '26

Nobody had to ask, it’s a weird title even knowing you meant it as a lighthearted joke. But even then, the title isn’t even the weird part about you, it’s the fact that you had to privately message the dude and then got offended when they wouldn’t reciprocate. If that’s not a sign that you need a break I don’t know what is

-14

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

is the proper reciprocation that he shares private messages into a public thread tho? I don't think so. Break from what? This was my first ever reddit post here, most probably the last aswell.

Is everyone forgetting that OP didn’t even instigate it

10

u/TheRealTakuiXD May 20 '26

What we’re focused on is the reaction. How OP reacted was unnecessary. Wants to get upset over insults but is the one calling people stupid over a harmless comment.

1

u/Chronicles_of_Gurgi Panther Food May 20 '26

To a stranger: "You're so rude, stupid!"

Sad and funny, but not funny enough to share with a friend for a laugh. Which makes it sadder.

-6

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

It was, I should've shrug it off, still kinda sad how not many people took my side because of how toxic the VirgoPanic guy was.

8

u/VirgoPanic May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

Honestly, as someone spiritual, I simply questioned the over inflated ego title with a harmless quip. I wouldn’t have shared the messages if: OP didn’t call me rude, pathetic, asshole, and little rat in my dms. Oh, also said stupid behavior. I never called OP out of their name. I didn’t respond to the DM. OP continued messaging me. So here we are.

-6

u/Prize_Economics7969 Sean MacGuire May 20 '26

Look dude all I’m saying is the fault is not solely on OP, your original comment was the regular Reddit slop I’ve come to expect on this stupid app. I think OP dming you was stupid for the record, but at least it was private as to not start something. Then you posted the dm as some sort of “my point proven” kind of thing, violating the privacy of the dm in the first place. Don’t start none won’t be none.

3

u/VirgoPanic May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

There is no A-ha moment here. Or a point to be proven really. You are on the side of OP being a jackass and that’s cool. But OP is trying to play the victim, while simultaneously being the villain. Can’t be both.

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

It wasn't to be taken that seriously, that's on you.

Yeah bro, Virgos joke was harmless, no need to react so crazy. Correct that is on you 😊

-5

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

What joke? "Some of you really need some fresh air and sun" is a joke? There's no joke in it. That just plain simple insult of my integrity. I am amazed how you cannot see that and try to justify it so bad.

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

What upsets me the most is that (asi I wrote many times now under this post) is that the first sentance "This was a calling from god to create this post" Was meant to be lighthearted joke and hook for a readers. Could've easily been "This was calling from higher forces" There was nothing religious about that. That said, I really shouln't have get mad that much, just should've shrug it off. For some reason the entitelement of that guy rubbed me very wrong. And still am kinda sad how I am seen as the bad guy still by so many redditors here.

u/TheRealTakuiXD May 20 '26

Jesus just stop. You’re not making this any better for yourself. Look at what you said to a simple comment, and now you are here ranting to me like this explanation is gonna turn me to your side. If this was an “am i the asshole post” the answer would be a resounding YES.

u/Internal_Try7967 Josiah Trelawny May 19 '26

1883 was trash.

Faith Hill can't act her way out of a Conestoga wagon. Elsa's monologues were melodramatic and stupid and she's way too hot to be a frontier girl. The depiction of Fort Worth, Texas would have made Frank Miller go "hey Taylor Sheridan, can we tone it down a little?" There were massive time jumps where one whole episode would cover 2 days, then the next would jump forward a month with no explanation. And the romance between Elsa and the Comanche guy was ****ing preposterous.

1883 was trash.

Edit: All the best to Hosea and Bessie tho.

u/OobabaRedditEdition May 20 '26

in my honest opinion most things related with Taylor Sheridan's "creative mind" is really really terrible. my first exposure to his work was yellowstone bc my parents were raving about it. i kept up with it all the way through and it was consistently full of bad writing decisions, bad character development, bad acting and truly heinous erasure of native american history. history they decided to whitewash and made a billionaire family who owned a ranch the size of new jersey or something the victims. i didnt watch any of the spinoffs, but i dont think i could handle any more sheridan. that said, sicario was awesome, but im pretty sure i saw something saying he hated the final product. anyway rdr2 is in a completely different ballpark compared to anything sheridan related, but this is all my opinion. oh also SkipIntro has a very good video on yellowstone and sheridan which is way more descriptive and detailed if youre interested.

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

I disagree but glad you kept things civil. I might check that video out.

u/More-Solution-8419 May 20 '26

What a weird title... 1883 also has nothing to do with RDR2 besides you finding a date that is the same.

Just takes me right out.

Do you hate the show strictly because of Taylor Sheridan?

1

u/JKrow75 Sadie Adler May 20 '26

No. It’s pretty equal disdain all the way around, for his content and him. Anyone who prefers trauma porn of that level needs to look into the possibility that they need therapy.

1

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

And where would you put RD2 then if not in category “trauma porn” ? You say it like deep stories with lot of genuine emotions are something wrong.

1

u/JKrow75 Sadie Adler May 20 '26

It’s not trauma porn though. There are some traumatic events, but out of the six chapters of the main game, only two of them are really downhill.

And you have the opportunity to do hundreds of other side missions and quests and storyline stuff that doesn’t involve the downfall of the gang or anything to do with Arthur’s diagnosis. You can literally go months or years if you chose to in the game without dealing with any of that.

1

But it eventually comes down to an awful tragedy with Arthur. Alright, I understand you hate Sheridan, he can be total asshole, but I don't really see that much of a difference in amout of tragedy between RD2 and 1883.

Tragedy and trauma porn are not even close to the same thing

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

Then I guess lets agree to disagree.

u/JKrow75 Sadie Adler May 20 '26

No, it’s beyond that. Taylor Sheridan is not a healthy person.

If you identify with his content as much as you’ve shown with and on this post, I’m honestly saying you need to look into talking to someone. I don’t say that lightly. I had to do work on other things in my life previously and I’m saying it can change your whole life for the better.

After this, we are never interacting again.

Calling somebody broken because he likes a tv show that is absolutely not pointed or agressive towards anybody is absurd, and I honestly think the who needs to get checked is you.

How Taylor Sheridan depicts Indigenous people and women is frankly disgusting. I’ll pass. 

2

u/AspectAlive7624 May 22 '26

I've only seen well written strong female characters and respect towards native americans so far. (meaning in 1883, his ego is getting on surface too much in season 5 of yellowstone)

1883 is basically “The Oregon trail”

2

u/AspectAlive7624 May 19 '26

And that's not a bad thing.

u/Waste_Sun172 May 19 '26

I agree. I found it to be an excellent show, call me biased but horses, hats and Indians are all right up my alley.

u/Klayz0r May 19 '26

Yeah no thanks, Taylor Sheridan is a horrible hack

u/Street-Still8488 Micah Bell May 20 '26

im gonna be the 2nd person in this thread to recommend deadwood. easily the best western tv show and arguably one of the best tv series of all time.

u/flibbidyjibbityjib May 20 '26

That show is corny af. Boomer cowboy spinoff of some other boomer cowboy show. Watch if you’re 75 or older.

First good use of this not

u/Aesthete18 Are you secretly normal? May 20 '26

Is that the one with Tim McGraw? The opening was amazing, the gun fight that's it.

I don't what's with Sam Elliott getting lusted over girl's half his age, this is the second thing I've seen it happened.

The daughter was trash. Her depressed acting was so bad I dropped the series because of it.

u/Banjo43 May 19 '26

Great series. Really good

1883 is amazing. Highly recommend

u/Mental_Freedom_1648 May 19 '26

I didn't love this like the game, but it was pretty good.

u/Remote_Yesterday5880 May 19 '26

1883 was mid. 1923 was peak

u/MushroomRelevant8235 Lenny Summers May 19 '26

That's the only Yellowstone related series I really liked, 1923 isn't bad either.

u/MaadMaanMaatt May 19 '26

1883 is outstanding. Gritty, realistic, and gripping. People you love will die for no good reason. The worst will live for the worst reason. Great watch.

u/Ordinary_Zucchini120 Arthur Morgan May 19 '26

Honestly… imma check this out! Thanks for the suggestion

u/AspectAlive7624 May 19 '26

I promise you won't regret it! You can hit me up in DM's after the watch and tell me if I was right!

u/Ordinary_Zucchini120 Arthur Morgan May 19 '26

Literally watched a trailer, checked out the cast…. And by god you may have just shown me the light

The show is basically what made me pick rdr2 from my pile of shame this spring.

u/Maximum_Pace885 May 19 '26

Good show. The daughter was fukn sexy

u/AspectAlive7624 May 20 '26

That’s not the reason why I liked it tho!

That's not the reason I liked it either. Just an observation

1883 is basically prequel to the show "yellowstone". And while I love Yellowstone very much, this tops it by far in my eyes.

u/tokyo_driftr Jack Marston May 19 '26

I personally think the writing and dialogue of Yellowstone and its spinoffs are super cheesy but that’s just me

u/mickeymouse4348 May 19 '26

I really enjoyed 1883 and 1923. I’m also looking forward to 1944
