Netflix has unveiled its most-watched movies and shows of the previous week, and American Primeval is officially a hit, pulling in the most views of any new shows launched that week. It still only sits at #2 overall in the English-language show charts, behind Missing You – which we think isn't that great, and we recommend some better shows to spend your time on.
American Primeval is a brutal, gory Western from the writer of The Revenant. Set in 1857, it's about the lengths people will go to not only for simple survival, but also to gain control of the American land, and the people trying to make their living there. It stars Taylor Kitsch and Betty Gilpin, and has had a middling response from critics (66% on Rotten Tomatoes), but has got audiences talking about its sheer grimness in a must-watch kind of way, and has an 88% audience score on RT.
If you've finished the series and are looking for something new, don’t fret! Here are three highly-rated Western shows on Netflix that you can dive into next.

A Western series that's quite a departure from the unflinching realism of American Primeval is the fantastic adventures of Wynonna Earp. The granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp must return to the town of Purgatory to continue up the work we all definitely remember Wyatt being famous for: fighting demons, with the help of Doc Holliday, who – as you will also certainly remember – is immortal.
It's based on a graphic novel, and is a fun way to cleanse the palate after Primeval. It's developed a very devoted follow
