I should start by saying that not having watched any of Yellowstone yet, I entered this series from a strictly neutral position. This series felt almost like an odd combination of a Greek tragedy and Agatha Christie’s novel Ten Little Indians (aka And Then There were None). I won’t even explain why as I want to steer as clear of spoilers as I can. As with many cable series before it, in the tradition of Sopranos, Breaking bad and others, this story is dramatic enough to pull you along enthralled even as you may have qualms or doubts about aspects of it. Plus it has Sam Elliot, always worth a look, and great performant by two country singers, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. And let’s not forget the great ensemble cast. The scenery is awesome, the soundtrack effective and the script is excellent for the most part. I must say I got really tired of the voiceover narration. Partly, I will admit, because I am not a big fan of voiceovers anyway, but also as if felt like teenager Elsa was passing along much more wisdom and historical perspective then someone her age would have access to. I mean, compare the girl’s antics at the beginning to the mini-lectures a few short weeks later. But it was a minor irritant overall and only slightly repetitious, so it was easily passed over.

(CASTELLANO) 1883 me ha parecido una maravilla. Como precuela de Yellowstone funciona muy bien, pero lo mejor es que no depende solo de eso. Se sostiene perfectamente por sí misma como gran relato de viaje, supervivencia, pérdida y nacimiento de una familia y de una mitología. Tiene dureza, belleza, tragedia y una sensación constante de que cada paso cuesta sangre, barro, miedo y dolor. No romantiza el camino, y precisamente por eso golpea tanto. Lo que más me ha marcado es Elsa Dutton. Isabel May lleva el peso emocional de la historia de una forma impresionante. Su voz en off no suena impostada ni literaria de pega, sino viva, sentida, casi como si estuviera descubriendo el mundo y despidiéndose de él al mismo tiempo. Ves cómo pasa de niña a mujer, cómo aprende, cómo ama, cómo se rompe y cómo se transforma, y todo eso está contado con una intensidad que a mí me ha destrozado por dentro. Cada vez que aparecía en pantalla me ponía los pelos de punta. Si la serie funciona tan bien es porque encuentra en ella su verdadero corazón. Más allá de la épica, del paisaje o del vínculo con Yellowstone, lo que de verdad sostiene 1883 es esa mirada. Isabel May no solo está muy bien: está descomunal. Tiene sensibilidad, presencia, luz, tristeza y una verdad emocional rarísima. Si sigue así, sí, merece premios y una carrera enorme, porque aquí demuestra un talento que no aparece todos los d…
