1923 bids farewell with a controversial ending that has completely divided fans

Just a few days ago, the finale of the second season of the series 1923, titled A Dream and A Memory, was released on Paramount+. This special two-hour episode has sparked a wide range of reactions among fans and critics, solidifying the series as the best in the Yellowstone universe, while also provoking divided opinions about its ending.

The best of the Yellowstone universe

1923, a prequel to Yellowstone created by Taylor Sheridan and which you can enjoy in Spain on Skyshowtime, focuses on the Dutton family in a historical context marked by the prohibition of alcohol, drought, and the early years of the Great Depression. This second season has seen an intense confrontation between the Duttons and Banner’s men, culminating in a finale that Sheridan has conceived almost like a feature film.

Despite the high expectations generated, the reactions have ultimately been polarized. Some viewers have praised the episode, calling it a masterpiece, and highlighting its spectacular nature. However, many others have criticized the creator’s narrative decisions, describing the ending as one of the dumbest series finales to hit the screen in a long time. A user on Reddit lamented that two seasons were spent preparing for an intense battle, only to deliver just a few minutes of action on screen.

The criticism has also been mixed. ScreenRant described the ending as a logical conclusion, but many on social media platforms like X have expressed their disappointment, while others consider it one of the best endings in television. With Sheridan’s confirmation that there will be no third season, this conclusion marks the definitive end of 1923, leaving the plots resolved; but this, evidently, was not going to please everyone.
