Jason Momoa's 12-Part Neo-Western, Based On A True Story, Has Hit Netflix At The Perfect Time

Jason Momoa’s 12-part neo-Western The Red Road has landed on Netflix, arriving months after its original 2014 release and shortly before Dune: Part Three hits theaters in December. Starring Momoa as Philip Kopus and Martin Henderson as cop Harold Jensen, the two-season series follows Philip, a member of the Ramapough Mountain Indians living on the New York/New Jersey border, and Harold, struggling to police a disappearance tied to tensions between the Native community and local authorities. As Philip tries to launch a small drug-dealing business, both men collide with the consequences of flawed choices. Influenced by Justified and The Wire, it’s set up as a lighter commitment than long-running anti-cop dramas, with 12 episodes.
