Super Great Show with One Major complaint as to how can this series be placed in New Mexico in the 1870’s and not have one single Hispanic character or anyone speaking Spanish? New Mexico today is easily 50 to 60% Hispanic and 150 years that ratio would have been MUCH higher. Godless is very well produced so the only explanation is Hispanic’s were purposely omitted. Especially odd since Native Americans and African Americans have positively portrayed characters.

This series is mostly fictional. Although the acting and production is decent. Hollywood does this to over and over again. More so, the true story is more interesting than this fictional version. They do, here and there, include actual facts (for instance his mother dying of tuberculosis). But that’s what I get for watching a Hollywood production on a subject I actually am knowledgeable about. Michael Hirst took plenty of liberties with The Vikings as well, that was much more acceptable as Historians really don’t know that much about, say, Ragnar Lothbrook. Sigh.
