Godless: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Western series starring Jack O'Connell and Downton's Michelle Dockery
Year: 2017
Certificate: 15
A beautifully filmed seven-part series that takes some of the classic Western tropes - a man on the run, a group of bandits vowing revenge and a town ready to fight - and updates them.
Set in 1884 in New Mexico, the Steven Soderbergh story features Jack O'Connell as Roy Goode, a kind-hearted criminal runs off with the loot from his gang after he stops them from raping a woman. He finds refuge at a farm owned by Alice Fletcher (Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery) in a place called La Belle, a colony of tough strong-willed women whose menfolk have been wiped out by a catastrophic mining accident.
The show won several drama awards when it came out in 2018, including an Emmy for the veteran Jeff Daniels for his performance as murderous outlaw gang leader Frank Griffin. (Seven episodes)
