Did I say you said it was a new concept?

I was just pointing out it offers nothing new in terms of story.
Well, I beg to differ and I'm sorry to disappoint you, try 'Cut Throat Bill' for a possible thrill? Kind of similar though, they might have to rewrite history to create a new narrative, that wild-west frontier is a well worn trail...of littered bodies, hopes, dreams and narratives?

Speaking of TV, has anyone else binged Squid Game yet?

Thought it was a good follow up effort.

Was a good follow up, a bit more humour still with plenty of dark moments… I defy anyone who can get the mingle game song out of their head…

I watched American Primeval in one sitting yesterday.

I love watching that particular time of history so I was a very easy watch for me.

Old Henry
The Ballad of Buster Scrugs
The Harder They Fall
Godless
The Power of the Dog
Butchers Crossing

That's recent one's and just off the top of my head - all with a unique story. Unsure how historically accurate you believe this one to be really, in the end it's just another work of fiction with a frontier backdrop. And if it's from the same people that made The Revenant (which I like) then they're just reusing their own narrative anyway.

Just pointing out that they seem to be trying to pretend they're providing new content by masking a tired story with ultra-violence. Don't need to take it personally. 🙂 And I'm still watching the f*cken thing anyway.

Well, in the end they're all works of fiction with a frontier backdrop. The Mormon massacre and it's leader, the governor were historical truths right down to his name. The Mormon Militia existed as did the Latter Day Saints and its claim for land by any means possible - it is Utah/Salt Lake City after all.
"Much like in the series, the massacre was a result of a dispute between President James Buchanan and Utah Governor Brigham Young. Yes, that Brigham Young—one of the most influential religious leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter-Day Saints. Young reportedly declared martial law over the territory after Buchanan allowed settlers to pass through, leading to violence from the Utah Territorial Militia (AKA the Nauvoo Legion)..." - Esquire.
Scruggs was fun, so was Dog Power, all good...
