It's 1884 Colorado. Marshal John Cook is tracking the murderous outlaw Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and his gang. Outside of La Belle, New Mexico, Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery) finds wounded Roy Goode (Jack O'Connell). He's Frank's protégé who ran off with the loot. Both are recovering from their bullet wounds. La Belle had suffered a devastating mining accident which killed almost every working men in town. Sheriff Bill McNue (Scoot McNairy) is slowly losing his eyesight and his sister Mary Agnes (Merritt Wever) tries to fill in for the lost men. The women are pushed into selling the mine and company man Ed Logan (Kim Coates) arrives to take over the town.
This is a great western series from Netflix. The standout performance comes from Wever. Jeff Daniels surprises with a menacing villain. The only problem I have is that it ends after seven episodes. It could have been great prestige TV. I don't know if it was canceled or if it was never intended to be more than a limited series. It's an intriguing reworking of the western genre.
