American Primeval features Taylor Kitsch as Isaac Reed, a rugged western hero with a complicated past. The miniseries, set in 1857 Utah, examines the struggle for power amongst various groups, including Mormon settlers and Native tribes. Isaac, guiding travelers Sara and Devin, becomes a surrogate family figure, making his death in defense of them feel poignant. Kitsch acknowledges audience reactions to the finale, emphasizing that provoking such feelings demonstrates the show's impact and his commitment to the role.
We're all flattered that people are that receptive to this show," says Kitsch. "I'd rather have you fucking truly upset that I die than not feel anything at all. Then I didn't do my job.
The six-episode miniseries from The Revenant writer Mark L. Smith is set in the Utah Territory in 1857 and traces the violence and tension between various groups grappling for power.
