What is The Abandons about?
Netflix
The Abandons follows a group of families at the edge of society in 1850s Oregon. It takes a serious look at survival vs. following the law as the families do whatever they can to save their land from corruption. And, of course, when they're not fighting for their lives, there are plenty of secrets to keep things interesting.
“I am fascinated by the metamorphosis of good into evil,” creator Kurt Sutter told Tudum. “What must transpire to drive the morally sound to become the dangerously corrupt. The Abandons explores those complex compromises through the most powerful human instinct — the love and protection of mothers.”
