Anyone else watch American Primeval on Netflix? Set in mid 1800s in Utah. Pioneers vs Mormons vs Army vs Indians. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. Details are fictionalized but based on some true locations/events.

I really enjoyed it. Strong female characters and I enjoyed the portrayal of Jim Bridger. Dark, but good.

Only good thing I’ve seen on Netflix in a long time
I liked the story, it was nice to see some characters from “real life” that were portrayed in it, but the way that they filmed it seemed a little more “dark” than I think it had to be.
I understand that life back then was difficult, but for example, the Pratt character running around for days with blood dripping down his face was a little much. Especially when he’s sitting next to a river and doesn’t try to wash off some of it….?
Also there was a scene where a man was skinning a deer carcass and blood was running down the body of the deer. Now Ive skinned many deer and that’s never happened to me.
I just wish it was filmed with a little more realism than the over drama of the gore.
