Godless: A Seven-Episode Western for Taylor Sheridan Fans

Netflix's Godless is a seven-episode limited series that offers a compact, binge-friendly western—an easy stopgap for viewers still hungry after Yellowstone, 1883 and 1923. Set in the mining town of Liberty Bell, the story follows widows left after a mining accident killed almost all the town's male population.

After unknowingly harboring a fugitive outlaw, a brutal gang descends on the town and the women must choose to surrender the fugitive or fight to defend their community. The cast includes Jack O'Connell as Roy Goode and Jeff Daniels. Godless debuted on Netflix in 2017 and flew under the radar just a year after Stranger Things launched the streamer's popularity, but many who have watched it praise its storytelling.

The series' cinematic scope and production values give it a big‑budget western feel that stands out on television. For Taylor Sheridan fans waiting for his next Yellowstone-adjacent series, Godless provides a concise, satisfying alternative.
