Godless is a Western series that even non-cowboy fans can enjoy. The show mixes several genres and focuses on Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and his gang of outlaws out for revenge from Roy Goode, a former member of their crew.

While on the run from the group he betrayed, Roy hides out in a little mining town run entirely by women, called La Belle, N.M. and lives with a widower and outcast by the name of Alice Fletcher.

But Roy can’t hide forever. When word gets out in La Belle that Griffin is on his way, the residents join forces to defend their home. What follows is a lot of action that will keep you glued to the screen.

Even if you’re not typically a fan of an old western show or movie, this one is worth watching. Godless does well to create a well-rounded show: Scoring, dialogue, acting, and plot. The action scenes don’t linger for too long but still create an atmosphere of tension and suspense.

Episodes are long, which might make bingeability low, but you can get through the whole thing in one weekend. While it can be slow, it’s definitely not boring. The intrigue comes from the original storylines, which are not too outlandish, and the solid execution of it all.

The seven part mini-series is rated highly for good reason. The cast, led by Michelle Dockery and Jack O’Connell, delivers award-worthy performances.
