The new Netflix series is an unrelentingly grim and punishing look at live in the American West of the 1850s, one devoid of much hope or human magic.
Thanks for this review. Surely most of the early West was not THIS savage all the time! Also, for anyone who cares to read a well written and objective biography of Brigham Young, this is highly recommended by John G Turner: https://a.co/d/7PcMyvg
Yes, that was exactly my thought, too. It was just such a drag and downer to watch, mostly because it gives so little reason for hope or optimism.
