Depending on your taste, I'd estimate it's well superior to Yellowstone.
Yellowstone is pulpy and soapy and about present day power and politics with all that skin and violence. It's decent enough.
But if you like beautiful vistas and hardscrabble toil to traverse a frontier, 1883 is better visually and narratively.
It's a contained narrative fully told from beginning to end in 10 episodes. It doesn't have to worry about stringing you along to the next episode or next season.
And there are some great thespian performances.
I don't want to spoil it with overexplaining or oversharing, but it's beautiful and gritty and violent and uplifting and nostalgic, . . . if those are things you're looking for in a limited series.
