    Berg and Smith’s on-screen vision is all pain with very little relief, making a binge-watch of this series a bit of a masochistic exercise. Knowing that the show employed an enormous amount of help to ensure what it captured was as real as possible, including indigenous cultural consultants and Mormon and military experts, is impressive but almost makes things worse.

    While the characters are rather surface-level, the show's dark storyline coupled with an unflinching look at the mid-19th century West, makes for a show that puts mood above all. While it wasn't always my cup of tea, those who like the tone of The Revenant will be pleased with American Primeval, even if it falls a little short.

    Berg throws dirty, cold water onto any romantic notion about the Wild West and that might put some off. If you’re one of them, stick with “Yellowstone” instead. But if you were a fan of “The Revenant” (Smith wrote it), this addictive series needs to make it way into your queue.
