Watching "Godless" on Netflix. (Just started episode 3.) It's a very solid western with some excellent performances by Jeff Bridges and Scoot McNairy. It's written and directed by Scott Frank, who wrote Logan, Minority Report, and Out of Sight.
A surprise highlight: Merritt Wever (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923266/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t4), who was weird on The Walking Dead but has a perfect and fully realized role here.
I'm on episode 3 as I write this, and this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite productions (film, TV, streaming) from 2017, period. It's got stellar production values (
especially the cinematography), a great cast, and is a very compelling watch. (And I know (and love) Merrit from "Nurse Jackie".)
Pretty sure JB commented about it...
here it is!

It's been a while since I watched this, but I was happy with it. That finale was really something.
There's one bit of soap opera drama that just does not make sense, though. (MILD SPOILER: the love triangle with the teacher.)
