Almost 20 years after Out Of Sight, Scott Frank (Minority Report, Logan) and Steven Soderbergh (who just made his big screen return with Logan Lucky) are teaming up again, with a six-part Western series on Netflix.

Godless stars Jeff Daniels as infamous criminal Frank Griffin, and sees him and his band of outlaws out for revenge on Jack O'Connell's treacherous Roy Goode, who, on the run, meets up with Michelle Dockery's Alice Fletcher.

The Western is enjoying something of a boom period on the small screen, with HBO and AMC tackling the genre (in very different ways) in the last 12 months. This looks more conventional than Westworld, but more interesting than The Son, and has a great cast (support includes Sam Waterston and Scoot McNairy) and that excellent behind-the-scenes team.

Air Date: Nov 22
