Reception

The series received positive reviews. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 88% "fresh" rating and average rating of 7.79 out of 10, based on 60 reviews, with critics consensus, "Vistas and violence root Godless firmly in traditional Western territory, but its female-driven ensemble sets it apart in a male-dominated genre." On Metacritic, it has a score of 76 out of 100, based on 20 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Alan Sepinwall from Uproxx reviewed it positively, saying, "Godless doesn't quite find that happy middle, but the storytelling excesses created by this format make it more fun than the traditional movie version probably would have been."

Vanity Fair and The Washington Post included Godless on their "best shows of 2017" lists.
