This is set in the 1880s so the people are dirty and everything has a general poor-ness to it. It's all quite depressing unless, again, you're into this genre.

    We couldn't even make it all the way through the first episode. Terrible dialogue, a few awful casting choices and everything is extremely obvious to the point of satire. It's an amateurish production with a big budget. Netflix can do so much better than this.

    Slow, packed with filler, this western could have been skimmed down to half the size EASILY. Main characters are uninteresting with female lead doing a solid Keanu Reeves impression the entire series. By the number Hollywood value apologist - white man bad, lesbian good, Bible nut evil!

    It’s disappointing that such a beautiful show, with such fine performers, could not have offered more than an outdated fairy tale.

    Godless is a work of confident artistry, casting well-worn clichés and archetypes in a fresh, illuminating light.

    Even if the flaws remain obvious, it’s worth following this story into the desert. There’s great acting to be found, and some thoughtful writing--and if you like sweeping panoramas of the sun setting across an untamed wild, then you’re in excellent, if heavy, hands.
