Who: Scott Frank (creator); Jack O'Connell, Jeff Daniels

What: Set in a New Mexico mining town made-up entirely of women, an outlaw attempts to track down his former protege.

Why: Another Western, this one boasts some serious talent behind it (Steven Soderbergh is executive producing, for a start). Scott Frank is an excellent screenwriter, and he's got a lot of control to take this in whatever direction he likes. Daniels is an established talent, and O'Connell has been a rising star for some time now, and this could be the series where he really confirms his quality.

Where & When: Netflix, TBA

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
