What a great surprise! Nice job, Netflix!

Amazing performances, great script and superb directing.

3 episodes in and I am loving this series. Pleasantly surprised by the smart, thoughtful writing, excellent acting and stunning cinematography.

The Brits* conquer the west! Such a good limited series. My only expectation, as I began watching this series, was that it was a western and a friend had recommended it. All the movie posters were iconic silhouettes of the genre. But, my expectations (delight and appreciation) raised exponentially as the casting revealed itself, beginning with Sam Waterston (as the Marshal), then Michelle Dockery* (Alice), Tantoo Cardinal (Iyavl), Jack O'Connell* (Roy), Thomas Brodie-Sangster* (Whitey), Jeff Daniels (Frank) and finally Kim Coates sealed the deal. All the acting felt very authentic and appropriate and the imported* talent did well to speak American (although, I'm told, the Americans speaking Norwegian? Not so good). The storytelling was well executed, the production values high, the direction was solid (except [spoiler] someone forgot to do a body count in the last episode - of the 30 men at least 50 of them were shot dead) [/spoiler]. I give this series an appreciative 9 (superb) out of 10. [Western] (In case you didn't catch it the * behind a name indicated British actors.)

Someone(s) got a little lazy on the last episode. All you have to do is count the number of bad guys shot from scene to scene and subtract it from 30. Seems kind of easy if you ask me.

_Godless_ is a Western series that is better than I initially thought it would be. The series is full of intense gun battles and action scenes that will have keep you engaged. The story is well-written and expertly crafted, with each episode building upon the last to create a truly immersive experience. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, with each actor delivering a standout performance. The cinematography is excellent, capturing the style and brutality of the Old West.

This was phenomenal. There was such great care taken in the attention to detail that it made so many scenes really stand out for how well fleshed out they were. The acting was superb! There were so many wonderful performances, there were too many to list, but Michelle Dockery and Merritt Weaver were exceptional. I'm not a big fan of the western genre, but this was so far above and beyond a simple western tale. This is one of the best mini-series I can ever recall having watched.

Show is alright. Kind of drawn out though, all the story combined could have been a 2 hour movie and you wouldn't have missed anything at all. It's a show that tells you something 20 times when it could have been done with a telling look instead.

[spoiler]The final episode features some of the dumbest scenes you've ever seen. Even untrained people wouldn't be so stupid. Your favorite people will die the dumbest ways. People hop up from underground with guns just to shout and die. One lady hopped out from hiding and started to reload there instead of taking one step to the side first. Actually most of them just hops out without shooting. Main villain just sits there all the time, no body ever thinks to shoot him. Roy brought all this upon them, but everyone's just like "aww yeah he saved us".[/spoiler]

Kind of hated all the "supernatural" stuff like ghosts, knowing when you die, and Indians knowing what will happen.

Just because it's olden days or you're indian doesn't mean hokus pokus existed.

Anyway, as I said, it's alright.

If you're a fan of Western genre, please do yourself a favor and watch this limited series. This is one of the best western TV shows I've watched, you'll be rewarded for watching this.

A show not to be disregarded. These are seven intense episodes worth every single minute. Absolutely fantastic watch!

Level "Fantabuolus" • 10 :heart:• Essential.

Great entertainment, impeccably made, with a solid cast and excellent writing. And the final episode is amazing.

Superb take on a Western. Women must take charge and defend themselves in a mining town when all the men die in a blast. Gender and alternative lifestyles get airtime while Jeff Bridges acts his heart out as a haunted villain in a classic but complex outrider tale. 10/10. Highly highly recommend.

i hate the last episode: 光環不死身、深情凝望、勇猛及時、crossfire、豬隊友、耍帥大戰扣一分

Just started this series and the cinematography is... wow. This is beautiful.

best show of 2018 for me

Highly recommend this mini-series if you’re into Westerns. It’s made very well overall.

I'm not a Western fan usually. Very few are actually well written anymore. Plus in general, they usually don't confront the facts of the past and cling to the false romanticizing of the period. This confronts all of that, subtly. The newspaper guy exaggerating and romanticizing the outlaws. The cowboys committing crimes and blaming the Native tribes. The Army too lazy to help homesteaders, under orders. The best part of this whole series is how it confronts the past while being very well written, fantastically directed, and with an amazing cast.

There were a couple scenes that I would've written differently, particularly the ending, but the ending works and probably truer than what I would've wanted. But you can see from the other comments the ending threw some of us.

I'm pretty stingy with 10, and I just couldn't dock it more than a half a point, 9.5 at worst. So 10. First episode seems all over the place but the second will have you binge watching the whole thing.
