1923 (Paramount+)

[Absolute Zero]

Watching the new season of this. Hardly Emmy winning stuff and they still make historical errors and questionable plot choices, but watchable, for now.

I mean, is there any historical fiction that does not exactly get the history right? "History" is pretty debatable too right? Different groups, political, religious, etc., will have their own versions of "history".

That said, I am enjoying the new season but its just so dang stressful, make me glad I wasn't living in that era, or the 1800's for that matter.

Some are just obvious F-ups, not a different take on history. For example, the show is in 1924 and they are using the smaller paper money that the U.S. didn't start printing until 1928. I'm not a fact checker of any sort, but for gawd's sake, if I knew this, a friggin' "Hollywood" fact checker should know. It's not all that big a deal.... just an irritating eyeroll for me.....

You should really hire yourself out to Paramount to catch this stuff for them, LOL!
