Godless

Netflix western Godless may have mis-marketed itself as female-driven, but the idea of a mining town run by women feels notably specific. So much so, in fact, that filmmaker David Lowery mused about the similarity to one of his own projects, and producer Steven Soderbergh has aggressively come out against the notion.

Executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and created by Scott Frank, Godless has been marketed by Netflix as a western series about a small town inhabited almost entirely by women who have to defend themselves against a vengeful outlaw. But the promotional materials — including trailers, posters and official stills — are entirely misleading, and if you settled in to watch Godless over the holiday weekend expecting the female-driven version of Deadwood, you were more than likely disappointed.

A Steven Soderbergh Netflix western already grabbed our attention, but the full Godless trailer makes this one a must-see. Visit a deadly “town full of ladies” in an extended sneak peek of the new limited series, featuring Michelle Dockery, Merritt Wever, Jeff Daniels and more.
