AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Vistas and violence root Godless firmly in traditional Western territory, but its female-driven ensemble sets it apart in a male-dominated genre.

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.
Every moment counts, making for an overall experience as to-the-point as Mary Agnes herself. Even when it appears to be taking some extra time for itself, "Godless" isn't wasting a second.
... it proves that truer stories can be told-ones that capture the allure of what brought so many westward in the the first place, while more honestly portraying history.
No Netflix drama has been this lyrical and yet crisply understated: expect it to triumph at next year's Emmys.
I'm a sucker for the stories of justice and revenge at the heart of most good Westerns. And I love it even more when those stories recognize the social realities of the time. Godless does all that and more.
Godless doesn't change the game, but it definitely scratches the itch for fans of Westerns, world building and myth construction storytelling.
