American Primeval has had a lot of time in the sun since its debut on January 9, spending most of the time since then at #1 on Netflix. At least in the US. Now, it’s been booted down to #2 for the second time, and not just by a night of WWE RAW.

Netflix’s “American Primeval” promises to show “America like never before.” But as fans of frontier stories know, there’s really nothing new under the Western sun.

Taylor Kitsch and Betty Gilpin led the gritty miniseries about a family's trek across the American West in 1857.

A new Netflix series breaks "with the historical record in ways that may bemuse the average viewer but will likely displease any Latter-day Saints," a New York Times reviewer says.

Jim Bridger, played by Shea Whigham, was a real life pioneer who built the town of Fort Bridger, which features in the series and was a real town. Brigham Young, played by Kim Coates, was also a real life figure. He was the head of the Mormon church at the time and had his own army known as the Nauvoo Legion.

After sitting on top of the Netflix top 10 list for a while, American Primeval, the limited series starring Taylor Kitsch, is now down to #2 thanks to the arrival of Monday Night

The real Fort Bridger is much smaller — and set in an entirely different state — than the one featured in ‘American Primeval’

American Primeval, Netflix’s flashy (and quite gory) new series depicts the clash between zealous Mormons, imperial federal troops, crude trappers, and bloodthirsty Natives. Think Under the Banner of Heaven meets The Revenant.
