American Primeval 2025 Mini Serie
What a great start of the new year
I'm on the third episode and thus far it's excellent. Felt I had to leave a review as I'm 3 episodes in and loving it. 100% does not deserve so many low reviews. If I went by reviews I would never watch anything. IGNORE REVIEWS, PEOPLE LIKE A WINGE, DEFO WORTH A WATCH. Atmospheric, gritty and right up my street. Cheers If the premise is appealing to you, do not be dissuaded from giving the show a chance. It's certainly violent but I do believe it's an accurate portrayal of what the time would have been for many. Great characters, beautiful cinema photography, with a complex, yet unconvoluted story.

Gritty and brutal take on the American West
I loved American Primeval even more than I thought I would. It's a brutal and gritty take on how the American West was started. First of all I love this genre, second I love Peter Berg (Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom, Patriots Day, Hancock, etc) and lastly it has an amazing cast starring Taylor Kitsch, Betty Gilpin, Jai Courtney, Dane DeHaan, Shea Whigham, etc. On top of all that it was also beautifully shot, the cinematography was amazing. This is a hard watch but a great one. My brother and I binged all 6 episodes in one day, that's how good this show was. If you're a fan of Westerns (and even if you're not) the give this series a chance...you won't be disappointed.

Terrific
American Primeval is one of the better shows I've seen in the last year and I've seen some terrific shows so that's saying something. This miniseries shows how shockingly cruel and violent the West really was. I have to warn you that there are some really violent and gory scenes so if that bothers you then this show might not be for you. It has several different plots to follow but all of them are captivating. It doesn't shy away from how ugly and savage people were for their desire to get land. I know the year just started but this is still going to end up being on most peoples best of the year list. I was entertained from the very first episode to the last and can't recommend this show enough.

Brutal & Brilliant
Similar vibe to The English (2022). Very well made. Great to have a quality production that's a Netflix original series amongst the mass of mediocre content they pour out so generously. It's violent but that period would have been I imagine, therefore, there's rape, hangings, children killed etc so if that bothers you, then I'd avoid. The tone is immediately bleak as is the prospect of any character being killed at any second. Judging by the lengths people go to with such effort just to stay alive another day, it's a wonder whether they'll have enough cast to fill the six episodes. Needless to say, I like it. 4.5 stars.
