‘Godless’ (2017)
In New Mexico in 1884, a notorious outlaw named Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and his gang seek revenge on Frank’s former member and protégé, Roy Goode (O’Connell), who betrayed them. On the run from those who want him dead, Roy stops in La Belle, NM, a mining town run by women, where he takes refuge with Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery). When it is heard that Frank and his group are headed for La Belle, Alice and her fellow citizens take up arms to fight against the ruthless group.
The Godless it immediately stands out for taking the male-dominated Western genre and instead focusing on female-led integration. In addition to these fast-paced twists, the series also features stunning production design and cinematography that make it easy for viewers to fully immerse themselves in this world. The fast-paced narrative and complex plot mechanisms are impressive, along with outstanding performances from Daniels, Dockery, and Merritt Wever especially make The Godless you can’t miss the TV.
‘Mindhunter’ (2017-2019)
In the late 1970s, Criminal Psychology and Criminal Prophecy were in their early stages, as the FBI tried to get inside the heads of serial killers to help solve the ongoing case. FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) and psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) operate the Behavioral Science Unit of the Training Division at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Season 1 sees them interview infamous serial killer Edmund Kemper (Cameron Britton) and BTK Killer (Sonny Valicenti), with season 2 focusing on Charles Manson (Damon Herriman).
The Mindhunter is notorious among fans for its very short run, despite rave reviews from critics and passionate fans following it. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough for Netflix, which ended the series after only two seasons. However, the series (executive produced and partly directed by David Fincher) is among the best crime dramas, combining exceptional storytelling and deep character drama with a unique filmmaking style.
‘The Guard’ (2018)
British military veteran David Budd (Rocketman‘s Richard Madden) works as a police sergeant in London where he is assigned to protect the Home Secretary and Conservative Party MP Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes) – a deeply controversial political figure whose ambitions are labeled as “public” by those in his inner circle. While secretly dealing with PTSD from his time in the war, David finds himself at odds with his new case, torn between his work and his personal morals.
The security guard is a highly addictive psychological thriller with top-notch performances from Madden and Hawes that combines political drama with complex character relationships. The heightened tension gets more and more intense as the series progresses, matching the pace that makes the show a great entertainment watch. Finally, The security guard it’s a unique and subtle look at power and strength and sexuality that’s fun while grounded in reality.
