There are many references to other "dark" content such as Midnight Cowboy, Heart of Darkness, Hamlet, or Igor from Frankenstein. The Hatfields and McCoys have reached legendary status in american culture and so is treated similarly to the previous topics. While it is a violent historical event, how it is portrayed is often more important than the actual event. There are many different ways to tell a fairy tale, with the same moral. Television is no exception.
