Paramount+ · Drama · 1923 is ended
1923 works because it refuses to romanticize its setting. The Dutton ranch in the early twentieth century is not a place of rugged freedom so much as a place of grinding, unrelenting pressure, where the land itself feels like an adversary. The show layers historical forces, drought, Prohibition's collapse, the Depression's creeping devastation, onto a family drama that is already tense enough without any of that. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren give it a weight that keeps the period detail from feeling like costume drama, and the show's willingness to sit with grief and hard choices is what separates it from its flashier peers.
The best shows like 1923
1. Yellowstone
This is where the Dutton story lives in its most fully developed form. Yellowstone has the same DNA as 1923, a family holding onto land against forces that want to take it, a patriarch who has made choices he cannot walk back, and a sense that the ranch itself is almost a character. If 1923 pulled you in through history, Yellowstone pulls you forward into a modern version of the same fight.

2. Marshals
For viewers who got attached to Kayce Dutton in Yellowstone, this is a direct continuation of his story outside the ranch. It keeps the Montana setting and the tension between a man's violent skills and his domestic life, while shifting the frame toward law enforcement and the psychological weight that comes with it. It shares 1923's interest in what the Dutton world costs the people inside it.

3. Longmire
Longmire is a slower burn than 1923, built around a Wyoming sheriff working through personal loss while keeping order in a community that is always on the edge of something worse. The landscape carries real meaning here, and the show has a genuine feel for the friction between ranching culture, Native communities, and the law. Fans of 1923 who appreciated the quieter, more character-driven stretches will find a lot to like.

4. Hell on Wheels
Hell on Wheels is set decades before 1923 but shares the same preoccupation with a West that is being violently constructed, with all the corruption and human cost that involves. The show follows one man's drive through a lawless traveling town built around the transcontinental railroad, and it does not flinch from the ugliness of the era. If 1923 appealed to you as a piece of American history as much as a family drama, this is worth your time.

5. Deadwood
Deadwood is set in a mining camp that is slowly, painfully becoming a functioning town, and it treats that process as both fascinating and morally grim. The writing is dense and the characters are drawn with unusual care, particularly Al Swearengen, who is one of the more interesting figures in the Western genre on television. Fans of 1923 who want something with serious literary ambition and a hard-eyed view of American frontier mythology should put this near the top of the list.

More on shows like 1923
Fans of 1923 tend to want a few specific things. They want a show that takes the American West seriously as a place with a complicated, often brutal history. They want family dynamics that carry real stakes, not soap-opera squabbling but the kind of conflict where you understand every side and no one wins cleanly. And they want craftsmanship, good photography, weather, landscape, a sense that the physical world matters to the story. They are not necessarily looking for more Duttons, though that option is on the table here. They are looking for that combination of scale and intimacy.
The most obvious starting point is Yellowstone, the flagship show this series spun out of, which follows the modern Dutton family with the same mix of land politics, family loyalty and frontier-style violence. From there, Marshals picks up with a character fans of that world already know, focusing on the psychological cost of a life lived at the edge of legitimate law. For something further afield in time and tone, Hell on Wheels goes back to post-Civil War America and builds its story around the westward push of the transcontinental railroad, which has the same sense of a world being made and unmade at once. Longmire is quieter and more procedural but has real feeling for the Wyoming landscape and for a man trying to keep something together after loss. Deadwood is the sharpest piece of writing in this group, set in a South Dakota mining camp that is trying to become a town, and it earns its reputation.
None of these are perfect substitutes for 1923, which has its own particular gravity. But each of them understands that the West is not a backdrop. It is an argument about what America is and who gets to survive in it. That is the thread connecting all five recommendations, and it is exactly what makes 1923 worth watching twice.
