America Primeval on Netflix

[PFD45]

Damn.
If you liked Horizon (Kevin Costner), this is about 8 hours more. Except a little(?) more gory and raw.
I guess it was loosely based on actual events but it's about the "friction" between the Mormons looking for a place to settle, the US Gov Cavalry and Native Americans.
Very interesting historicaly.
It really shows the "setteling" of America. Graphicly.
Warning. Avoid this if you don't want to see people getting shot, arrowed, chopped or stabbed in the face.

I watched that series and really enjoyed it. Very well done.

Agreed. Liked it more than the Costner movie.

I’m 10 minutes in and more has happened than in the whole
3 hours of the Costner movie.
I mean, it wasn’t horrible, but they could have told the entire story in 30 minutes.

[Wambli Ska]

It’s basically six chapters version of The Revenant. BTW, same director.

EXCELLENT series!

Horizon absolutely sucked ball sacks. Couldn’t make it past 1 hour of that show and I was utterly done. Bored to death and gagging over the acting.

American Primeval was very good. It was a complete wash compared to Horizons

[Freezer]

I didn't make it too deep onto Horizon, Boring!

[breamfisher]

Wait, y'all are telling me Costner did a boring western?

After watching "Dances With Wolves" and "Wyatt Earpp," I can't imagine that...

Even "Open Range" could have been shorter.

Never watched Dances or Earp. I tried Dances. Didn't make it an hour.

Drove all of the way to work this morning. Kidney stone #11-12(?) decided to make an appearance. Took my emergency stash of Oxy and came home. Watched most of American Primeval. May have nodded here and there. Pretty good.

Yep. Too many folks think Costner is a god of movie making or something but his stuff generally sucks and is too long.

[CPJ 2.0]

Almost done with American Primeval, and the Mormons are **** heads

[PFD45]

SPOILER ALERT.

Ok, I never got how the Mormons wiped out an entire Cavalry troop and still thought their problem was still a girl witness?

When would the dead Troopers be missed?

[CPJ 2.0]

Well.
That’s not an ending that I would have preferred.

[jbp-ohio]

Well.
That’s not an ending that I would have preferred.

I read Brigham Youngs Wiki. Surprisingly, this show wasn't an accurate portrayal of history. Still ****heads but the US Calvary wiped out the Shoshone village. So... ****s all around

[jbp-ohio]

The best portrayal of the Mormons is still South Park..... dumbdadumbdadumbdumbdumb.

[Jayhawker]

American Primeval provided an unflinching glimpse into western history that most folks just don't know about...it was well done and historically accurate for the most part...

They had a lot of witnesses they missed.The woman and boy, the man they rode with, the half scalped husband and his wife, the Indians and later the troopers. The Mormons didn't want to be a state, they wanted autonomy.

I enjoyed it! Haven't watched Horizon yet, but I was wondering why if got to Netflix so fast!
