1923 has proven to be a hit series, but the recently aired season finale made people wonder whether Spencer would ever successfully reach home.
Spencer is a member of the Dutton family who owns the Yellowstone Ranch in Montana. His parents were James and Margaret Dutton from 1883. After they passed away, he and his brother John were adopted by their uncle and aunt, Jacob and Cara Dutton.
In 1923, viewers learned that the Yellowstone ranch was now being run by Jacob and Cara Dutton, and Spencer was no longer in Montana. After some serious problems arose at home, Cara called for her nephew from Africa.
Spencer is getting back home but people are puzzled by how long it is taking him.
1923 fans frustrated with Spencer's long journey home
Spencer Dutton is a US veteran who changed his profession after World War I ended. Over the course of the first season, he was shown traveling and hunting man-eating animals in Africa. This is where he met Alex, who he went on to marry. Although things looked good for him, back at home, his family was going through hell.
Cara summoned her nephew to return home and fight for the honor of his family. However, Spencer opened his aunt's letter three months later. Nonetheless, he began his journey with his wife, Alex, but it's taking him forever to return home.
Fans have now started to get impatient as they were expecting him to reach Montana by the season finale.
The entire season was being built up in such a way that viewers expected Spencer to show up in Montana by episode 8. Instead, they witnessed Spencer and Alex's heartbreaking separation. Spencer now has not one but two problems.
Whether he goes straight to Montana or rescues his wife, is to be seen in season 2.
1923 has been receiving a lot of love from fans across the globe. However, the fanbase is also collectively agreeing that the Spencer and Alex storyline has gotten stretched and the couple should be home by now.
