» If you're diving into Netflix's latest Western miniseries, American Primeval, you might find yourself reminded of the 2015 Leonardo DiCaprio film The Revenant. Well, guess what?

They're dark, gritty tales where protagonists endure unimaginable dangers, reflecting the raw violence of the Western frontier.
