Lights" creator Peter Berg makes the wild west look like hell on Earth in "American Primeval." There's some good between all the blood.

In Netflix’s new limited series, “American Primeval,” written by “The Revenant” scribe Mark. L. Smith, audiences are thrust into the viciousness of the American West, specifically the Utah Territory in 1857.

Peter Berg directs an epic six-part drama about the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857, in which more than 100 settlers were murdered by militant Mormons.

One week after dropping a new Harlan Coben Netflix show, Missing You, Netflix rolled out the most violent, graphic, and brutal show you'll watch this year, American Primeval from Mark L. Smith and directed by Peter Berg.
