I forgot to talk about this absolutely fantastic Netflix series I have recently binged on and I don't know where to start.
Well, for starters it's a Westerner and you do know my love for all things western and guns and cowboys and native Americans and horses and this series was everything mushed into epic awesomeness.
The series is called 'Godless' and my oh my how beautifully well made it is.
I'm so glad that this genre is still kept alive and is still going strong.
The settings, storyline, plot! oh the plot, the narration, colour, costume and acting. It's an absolutely immersive experience if you like Western-style movies then this is the one for you.
The last Netflix series along the same lines that I'd seen was 'the ballad of Buster Scruggs' and it was not good. I mean it was a bit boring and overdone. It hit too many high notes with cliche ideas and failed to, at least for me drive this gorgeous genre to a point of nail-biting, teeth clinching, heart-thumping storytelling and 'Godless' succeeds on all accounts.
It does oh it does. Steven Soderbergh has done it far too well and I recommend it to every western genre lover.
