This review contains spoilers for 1883 episode 4, “The Crossing.”
When there is so much TV to choose from, everyone hits a point where they must decide whether they are going to continue with a show or drop it. If you’ve made it through the first three episodes of 1883 and thinking that episode 4, “The Crossing,” could be that point, I’m willing to bet that more viewers than not will say they’re ready to hitch up with this wagon train for the long haul. After an enticing first episode and two picturesque but more setup-driven second and third episodes, “The Crossing” is easily the best 1883 has been thus far.
