What is Kevin Costner’s The West?
According to the show description, the newest series provides a new look at the unbelievable history of the American West by delving into the desperate struggle for the land itself—and how it still shapes the America we know today.
Through Kevin Costner’s The West, viewers will explore the multi-layered portrait that makes up the American frontier from literal trailblazers to the law enforcers and battles for both land and freedom.
The first two episodes premiered back to back May 26, and episode three soon followed on May 27. Tonight, viewers will reach the halfway point with the release of episode four.
This week’s episode focuses on the abduction of Cynthia Ann Parker, which kicks off a series of confrontations. Cynthia Ann’s rescue sees her violently removed from her new native family and dropped back into a hostile foreign culture, while pushing her son on a campaign of revenge.
