View Details Critic Reviews for Godless Miniseries All Critics (78) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (66) | Rotten (12) 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. Nov 21, 2017 | Full Review… Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com Top Critic 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. Nov 21, 2017 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic ... 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. Nov 27, 2017 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic 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. Nov 22, 2017 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic As events unfold across seven hours certain storylines might proceed a little languidly for some tastes, but things are anchored by some terrific performances, particularly from Wever and from McNairy. May 15, 2019 | Full Review… Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic I can definitely appreciate Scott Frank and Steven Soderberg tackling this particular untouched (in terms of Hollywood) subject matter. Sep 18, 2019 | Full Review… Sarah Musnicky Legion of Leia at Vital Thrills It shows, in a bad way, that the original material was designed for a short film format, and you can tell that there was no script to fill the more than seven hours that the miniseries lasts. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 5, 2019 | Full Review… Alberto Carlos Espinof Godless reveals there are still plenty of ways to make the Western seem fresh and exciting. May 15, 2019 | Full Review… Kaitlin Thomas TV Guide Godless is a work of confident artistry, casting well-worn clichés and archetypes in a fresh, illuminating light. May 15, 2019 | Full Review… Nick Schager The Daily Beast Godless is an almighty letdown. The narrative is as expansive as the vast New Mexico plains that form its backdrop, but there's too much creative tumbleweed. May 15, 2019 | Full Review… Liam Fay Sunday Times (UK) Gritty, grimy and, at times, pretty grim, Godless is nevertheless filled with some terrific performances, a luscious T Bone Burnett soundtrack, gripping tension and some memorable dialogue. May 15, 2019 | Full Review… James Croot Stuff.co.nz It's a great series: An old-fashioned Western revenge flick drawn out over seven splendid hours. The cinematography is gorgeous, it's well-plotted, and the actressin' is phenomenal all around May 15, 2019 | Full Review… Dustin Rowles Pajiba View All Critic Reviews (78) Audience Reviews for Godless: Miniseries Sep 08, 2020 Godless is a Netflix limited series western seven episode event based set in 1880's in New Mexico territory. Scott Frank wrote and directed this sensational show about an ex-protege Roy Goode played by Jack O'Donnell, who steals his boss's money and runs away with it. The murderous outlaw gang leader is played by Jeff Daniels with a great supporting cast that also included Emmy award winner Merritt Wever. The main character, Roy Goode, finds himself in a town that was devastated by a mining disaster that killed all the town men and we find Wever in charge in lieu because her husband was the town mayor. Daniels is on a vengeance to capture Goode and find his stolen money. The town prepares for an all out attack from over thirty cowboy villains. Each storyline is layered with a backstory which developed the characters we cared to love and to root for them. Overall it was a great series that I loved, it is definitely worth your time. Hrant B Sep 05, 2020 Godless is one of the best western drama in the last decade Metin T Aug 01, 2020 Definitely am a fan of Godless. Jeff Daniels was excellent as the bad guy you love to hate. With this being a limited episodic western I was allowed the chance to learn more about the characters. Annie L Jul 18, 2020 It is not the best western series but it is also not the worst. In general it is a good series !!! jose r Jun 21, 2020 WOW! Amazing. I had kind of lost hope that I wouldn't see any good writing and story telling for a long time. Especially on Netflix. But Godless is amazing all the way through. Inspirational how good it is. Characters are great and everyone acted superb. Action is great, directing, cinematography, sound, everything ! Phil W Jun 21, 2020 interesting view on Wild West, scenario and actress/actor play Ireneusz W May 19, 2020 An old West story with a new twist. Well worth the watch. Kim S May 13, 2020 Western is a movie category from which we don't really expect much anymore, considering the exhaustion of cowboy stories in the last century. However, Godless manages to lure the viewer into a story of outlaws and a town full of women in the wild west and does not disappoint. Sure, the script is noticeably written for a movie and not a 1 hour per episode, 7 episode mini-series, and therefore the storytelling can sometimes feel dragged. Nevertheless a good watch! selma s Apr 29, 2020 Absolutely superb tv. Not all action but what it lacks for in that department, it makes up for in storytelling and character development. The climax of season 1 (praying theres a second!) is jaw droppingly good. Fantastic series that is comparable to Deadwood in its Premier season. There was a couple of "gone too soon" characters but the ones left will be more than enough to keep this series in high regard. Brilliant. Andy H Apr 22, 2020 Westerns were at one time the most prolific genre in all of Hollywood. As a result, if you've seen enough of them, it's hard to find one that doesn't fall into some (or many) of the existing tropes. Godless manages to both play into them and escape their clutches as the show takes the most well-worn versions of classic western tropes and turns them on their heads. To top it off, the dialogue is fantastic, the characters complex and the plot entirely exciting. Godless is absolutely worth your time!
