The latest historical series on Netflix is American Primeval, a gritty and violent six-parter which has brought renewed interest in the Western genre.
Set in Wyoming and Utah 1857, American Primeval is set around real events; tensions between the Mormon inhabitants of the newly-settled territory of Utah, and the United States government, erupted in mid-1857 into what's now been dubbed the Utah War (which saw a grand total of zero battles).
