It’s hard not to have a soft spot for Godless, Netflix’s 2017 Western opus. The seven-episode limited series centers on the mostly peaceful town of La Belle, an 1800s desert town almost entirely devoid of men following a mining catastrophe. Unsurprisingly, the real drama arises when an uninvited man (Jack O’Connell) stumbles into La Belle after stealing from his outlaw father figure (Jeff Daniels, who won an Emmy for his performance). Soon enough, bloody chaos erupts.
Between Godless and Wonder Woman, which also debuted in 2017, you’ll start wondering if an all-woman utopia is what the world needs.
