The first episode was very dark and reminded me here and there of The Revenant (feature film with Leonardo di Caprio). You have to bite through that sour apple, after that the miniseries becomes less apocalyptic and much more beautiful. Well acted, beautifully portrayed and raw realistic as I like to see in a historical series. The soundtrack is also very good. Exciting!

Like Vikings, but in the Wild West.

American Primeval, created and written by Mark L. Smith, who is also known for his work on The Revenant.
It's gripping, very violent and grim, from beginning to end.
I enjoyed the storyline, the stunning cinematography with attention to the smallest details, the beautiful landscape and also the great acting. I was quite charmed by Betty Gilpin, also known from Mrs. Davis. If you are more into the faster work, then I would leave this American Primeval alone.

I haven't seen this series (yet), so I don't know what kind of role Betty Gilpin plays, but in the movie "The Hunt" she kicks some ass and shows that she can handle an action role perfectly. Good movie in which she plays the lead.

A gritty western reminiscent of Costner's feature film series Horizon. Beautiful images at times.

The Wild West as it really was
Where only survival counted
Good story and highly recommended

9.3

After "1883" I didn't expect to see anything of this genre again soon, but this comes close. Beautiful series, good story... I googled a lot to see if it was real and most of it was true. Endless natural beauty and good actors. Recommended...
