1923 Season 2 has kicked off with its first episode, „The Killing Season,“ diving deeper into the show’s exploration of Native American issues. The series, a prequel to the popular Yellowstone, continues to tackle the heavy themes of persecution faced by Indigenous characters.
In the premiere, the character Teonna Rainwater, portrayed by Aminah Nieves, remains on the run after her violent actions against abusive nuns in Season 1. The authorities, led by the ruthless Marshal Kent, are hot on her trail. The episode features a tense scene where Kent enters Comanche territory in search of Rainwater, resorting to extreme measures to extract information.
During this encounter, Kent threatens a young girl, showcasing his willingness to use violence to achieve his goals. Although he ultimately refrains from pulling the trigger, the moment serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities depicted in the franchise.
This scene draws parallels to a notorious moment from Yellowstone, where Kayce Dutton threatens a child to protect his family. Both instances highlight a recurring theme in the franchise: the moral complexities and shocking decisions made by its characters.
As the series progresses, viewers may find themselves grappling with the ethical implications of such storytelling. New episodes of 1923 air on Sundays on Paramount Network.
