Every frame is breathtaking in its own way, whether it's of dust carried on the wind (a classic, tumbleweed-style indication that the characters are remote and exposed) or sun pouring through the slats of an old, dilapidated barn.November 21, 2017
Buoyed by strong performances and its knowing embrace of an under-utilized genre, this seven-part event slows in the middle but yields the kind of home stretch for which it's worth giving thanks.November 19, 2017
Godless might remind you of HBO's still lamented Deadwood in its expert plotting. Those dusty winds swirl around bloody secrets.November 21, 2017
It's an operatic, juicy drama that thrives by earnestly embracing the best -and side-stepping the worst - Western tropes.November 21, 2017
It gets way more right than wrong as an outstanding cast, memorable characters, engaging arcs, beautiful shots of the majestic frontier, and one hell of a finale (oh yes, it's pretty savage) bring us a uniquely bewitching and exciting story.November 21, 2017
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.November 21, 2017
If he (Scott Frank) doesn't achieve the visual or narrative poetry of the filmmakers he's riffing on -- the John Fords, Howard Hawkses and Robert Altmans -- he still gives you plenty to look at, and it's never boring.November 21, 2017
Brutal, unforgiving, and warmly nostalgic; Netflix's grand Western is one of 2017's most satisfying shows.November 21, 2017
The storytelling excesses created by this format make it more fun than the traditional movie version probably would have been.November 21, 2017
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.
