Before Taylor Sheridanβs β1923,β Netflixβs 7-Part Miniseries Officially Changed the Western Genre
Godlessis a vicious, searing western set in an unforgiving landscape where good guys and bad guys all look the same in the end, with weapons of death in their hands. Created, written, and directed in its entirety by Scott Frank (better known for The Queen's Gambit), the series introduced the western back into the fold, in all its bloody glory. Debuting on Netflix in 2017, the limited series received critical acclaim for its direction, acting, and cinematography, and won multiple Emmy Awards. With its cowboys, ranches, devilish men, and land wars, Godless was a groundbreaking series prior to Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstoneuniverse.
