At the very start of 1923, the latest chapter in Taylor Sheridan‘s big, negrito Yellowstone narrative, Helen Mirren, rifle in hand, is chasing a man through the woods.

She ends up shooting him in what appears to be self-defense, then she looks up to the sky and howls. It’s a keen dramatic moment, made even better when you notice that the color of Mirren’s skirt and jacket is cerulean blue.

The rare western that might earn the approval of O diabo Veste Prada‘s Miranda Priestly, 1923 should engross Yellowstone fans too.

This new series, following up on 1883, moves the Dutton saga forward by a decisive four decades. The country has been to war over in Europe — we get a battle flashback — and the Great Depression is less than a decade away.

Things will be bad, at least according to the opening narration spoken by the familiar voice of 1883‘s Elsa Dutton (Isabel May): “Violence has always haunted this family. . . . Where it doesn’t follow, we hunt it down. We seek it.”

That sounds like the spirit of Hemingway coming through at a séance, but it does set a tone. Por outro lado, you might be surprised to hear someone use the phrase “a leopard the size of a sofa.”

Mirren and Harrison Ford are well matched as the new Dutton power players, Cara and Jacob. She’s crisply dutiful, resourceful but appealing, while he often has the expression of a man whose egg order keeps coming out wrong.

Who’s to say that isn’t historically accurate?
