1923 Season 2 Blu-ray Review – Harrison Ford & Helen Mirren Shine as The Yellowstone Prequel Continues the Dutton Legacy

For those fans of Yellowstone there was no doubt major excitement for the origin story "1923". The Yellowstone origin story would be grounded by two amazing acting legend in Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. 

Now of course this review is for season 2 of this series. So, we won't go into Season 1. But if you want to see Yellowstone and 1923. They are available to stream on Paramount+. But let's be honest nothing compares the quality of home video. That is why I am glad to be able to see 1923 Season 2 on Blu-ray.

Synopsis: A cruel winter brings new challenges and unfinished business to Jacob and Cara back at Dutton ranch. With harsh conditions and adversaries threatening to end the Dutton legacy, Spencer embarks on an arduous journey home, racing against time to save his family in Montana. Meanwhile, Alexandra sets off on her own harrowing trans-Atlantic journey to find Spencer and reclaim their love.

The writing is excellent, and the acting of Helen and Harrison really ground the cast in believability. But Brandon Sklenar really is unforgettable. The violence can be a bit much for some viewers and there is a good amount of profanity and sexual content including nudity. Which this reviewer didn't take a lot of pleasure in. So going into this series, just be aware.

Now streaming seasons differ quite a bit from broadcast TV seasons. Season 2 of 1923 has a grand total of only 7 episodes. But they are dramatic entertaining episodes. There is a lot of entertainment jammed into those 7 episodes.

Paramount Home Entertainment has transferred these 7 episodes to Blu-ray on 3 discs. There are presented in 1080p in widescreen format. The audio is an English 5.1 Dolby Digital TruHD track. There are also English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

These episodes look so amazing in High Definition. I enjoy streaming content, but when you want the best HD quality you can't really replicate the quality you find on a Blu-ray or a 4K disc. 1923 really looks the best on Blu-ray. That there is also the additional bonus you get with this Blu-ray release. The bonus features. Take a look at what is included. 

* Darkness Cannot Hide: 1923 Returns
* The Shroud of Winter: Production Design & Costumes
* The Women of 1923
* 1923: Teonna's Story
* What would you bring back from 1923?
* Behind the Story for Every Episode

This is where Blu-ray blows streaming out of the water. I enjoy the season episodes. And of course that is major reason to buy this Blu-ray, but the bons featurettes are so much fun. These are what take a season release from good to great. 

So, if you are a fan of Yellowstone and the origin story 1923. And you already own Season 1. What are you waiting for head over to Amazon and order your copy of 1923 Season 2 on Blu-ray now!
