NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Friday Night Lights and The Terminal List alum Taylor Kitsch says he wanted to play Isaac in American Primeval because the character is so complicated -- a broken man who rediscovers his humanity and finds a new sense of purpose. Premiering Thursday on Netflix, the gritty, six-episode western from director/executive producer Pete Berg is set in 1857 United States and depicts the clash of westbound pioneers, European immigrants, the Mormon Militia and Indigenous people.
