Added a few days ago to Netflix, “At the Dawn of America” has established itself as one of the most viewed series of the moment. It takes place during the conquest of the West and does not skimp on violence.
At the dawn of Americawhere the story of a merciless American West
On January 9, Netflix unveiled a new series: At the dawn of America. The story unfolds in the American West in 1857. On these harsh lands, characters from very different environments face each other with rare cruelty. In this hostile environment, a mother and her son try to survive.
At the dawn of America was created by Mark L. Smith. The latter is best known for having scripted The Revenant. We also clearly find the same tone between the series and the film. Both offer a bloody, very harsh vision of the conquest of the American West. Far from an idealized vision of this period sometimes depicted on screen. Mark L. Smith shows us a particularly cruel place, which seems very uncivilized and where violence reigns.
Netflix subscribers are responding
This disenchanted vision of the American West is very popular with Netflix subscribers. Because At the dawn of America marches very strong since its release. A little less than a week after it was put online, it is in the top 10 most viewed series on the platform in all the territories listed by FlixPatrol.
This Tuesday, January 14, At the dawn of America marches even places itself in second position of the most viewed series on Netflix. It comes after the second season of Squid Game.
Will the series end there?
At the dawn of America features a strong cast. Betty Gilpin, Taylor Kitsch, Dane DeHaan, Jai Courtney ou encore Shea Whigham they all play a role. The series consists of six episodes of approximately one hour. If you’ve already discovered these six episodes, you may be wondering if the series will have a second season. For now, the answer to this question is unknownsince Netflix has not communicated anything on this subject.
More At the dawn of America is presented as a mini-series. Which suggests thatshe won’t have a sequel. The streaming giant could launch a second season if the first continues to be a hit, but we can think that new episodes are unlikely to see the light of day.
