‘American Primeval’ (2025)

Rotten Tomatoes: 69% | IMDb: 8.1/10

Written by Mark L. Smith and directed by Peter Berg, American Primeval is a period Western drama miniseries. Set in 1857, the show follows the story of a mother and son fleeing their past in the American West, where they form a found family while struggling to survive a harsh and violent landscape of freedom and cruelty. The series stars Taylor Kitsch, Betty Gilpin, Kim Coates, Jai Courtney, Shea Whigham, Dane DeHaan, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, and more.

Berg’s first project under his first-look deal with Netflix, American Primeval was highly anticipated before its release on January 9, 2025. Though it follows a fictional story, the show is inspired by real events, specifically the Utah War. In this way, the series presents a rather gritty and realistic exploration of the conflict between the US Army, the Mormon Church, and the Shoshone, Southern Paiute, and Ute tribes, as told through the lens of personal struggles.

‘The Traitors’ (2023 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 83% | IMDb: 7.7/10

Hosted by Alan Cumming, the world’s fastest-rising reality series sees a group of celebs from all different walks of life — from reality stars to former British politicians — take on an iconic game of deception in a bid to win up to $250,000. Set in the gorgeous Scottish highlands, The Traitors splits its contestants into two categories, faithfuls and traitors, with the former having to catch the latter before they are murdered. Endlessly entertaining with more twists and turns than a Harlan Coben novel, The Traitors is well worth the hype. And with the show still in its infancy, there’s no better time to jump on the bandwagon. - Jake Hodges
