I don't know if this belongs here because it's only 6 episodes, but it's TV, so WTF. American Primeval is really ****ing good.

I can't really point out as to a reason why. Other than I was super engaged with the characters. I thought I was going to hate Betty Gilpin's character. And Taylor Kitsch has let me down in the past. But I really did give a shit. Same with the Shashone crew. I cared less about the Pratt crew caught in the crossfire, and the mormons were the big bads, but they were at least interesting and nuanced. Oh and Shae Willingham is a goddamned national treasure. Dude is great in everything he's in and gets almost no credit for anything. But I'm here.

This one stuck with me awhile. It's a hard life it's portraying, but it's a damn good watch.

Spoiler!

Watch this one. Don't expect lighthearted fun, but it is damn good television.

Small shit like Red Feather dying with his son in his arms is just damned fine filmmaking. As a father, that **ing ripped me a part. There was some nice symmetry in Pratt shooting his wife to end his descent to madness. The Shoshone getting massacred sucked, but that's part of the gig when you watch this kind of show. I thought going to California was a thoughtful ending. Watch this one. Don't expect lighthearted fun, but it is damn good television.
