I have a friend that says "All change is bad" but this is an example of improvements, it is now possible for the sequential longer story lines that you and I prefer. I guess the better saying is "Things always change".
Netflix series "Godless"

finished it last night...terrific show. Hope to see a followup or a similar project from Netflix in the future.
Bridges was just awesome as was the actor who played Roy.

Watching it now based on the good reviews here. Episode 5 now. Great show I'm into it.
I'm guessing the Buffalo Soldiers are going to make the difference.

I'm only half way through, but pretty sure that this will make it into my Top 10.
I'm not sure if I recall ever digging a Western villain as much as Jeff Daniels' Frank.
Such a great villain. To have a great western, you need a great villain.
Been watching the show all week.
Been saving the finale for Friday night.
I'm pretty excited for the big showdown.
Even the wife has gotten into it. Which is rarefied air, for her to watch a Western.
Just cracked open a nice big ole bottle of one of them fancified Jester King brews.
Let's move em on out little doagies.

which way? better or worse?
and say you think Deadwood is a 9 out of 10, what is Godless?
thx.
Guess I'm too stupid to pick up on the PC sub-stories, or maybe I'm just not looking for them. Really enjoying the show.
More action.
And only one prostitute.
But still worth wwatching.
Daniels' villain Frank is pretty layered, just t like McShane's Swearingen. Not quite as verbose though.
Wish it were a full series like Deadwood.
Instead of just a mini series.
The trailer and ad they have been running on network Tv for the show have really been highlighting the "town full of women" aspect for some reason. Probably to cash in on the "strong woman" trend, etc. It really doesn't paint an accurate picture of the story.
In reality, in the actual storyline of the plot, it's one badass smoking hot woman, one smoking hot whore, one smoking hot German paintress, one wisecrackin' Lesbian, and then a town full of widows.
It was built out of iron and bricks. They made a point of holding up in that bldg for that very reason.
I know a lot of shows and movies require the "willing suspension of disbelief" but...this show makes it hard. A town of only woman, a protagonist that seems weak, the strongest character is a woman with a Indian kid and a grand mother.
I want to get into this show, but...I just can't get past some of it.

Great show...watched per OB recs. Could be a one and done....but door slightly ajar for second season.
I see that it is filmed around Galisteo,NM. A beautiful setting for a Western.
There was a line in an earlier episode that detailed that the LA Belle Hotel had been built in all brick and iron. Torching the wooden walkways in front could have worked though.
Nonetheless it sure seems that Frank and the Goons did not exactly put together any sort of plan at all.
It was well done.You do have to suspend belief about a town full of only women who in less than 2 years acquire the skills -not to mention the strength to do things previously only done by men before.
I recall a scene where a woman was carrying a support beam up a ladder in a dress and bloomers to help other women build a building from scratch ( also in dresses) and thinking --Ok that's a bit much. The last episode with the guns as well.
Credit the production and writing that despite that it was still a good watch.
