Netflix fans are still binge-watching an 'underrated' mini-series which boasts a stellar cast of famous faces.

Despite releasing in 2017, the seven-episode Western is still being discovered by fans now, who are devouring it all in just one day.

The platform has plenty of gems within its catalogue of TV and film, but some end up falling through the cracks.

That's certainly the case for this Stephen King-recommended horror movie which 'isn't for the faint of heart'.

Other 'hidden gems' include Natasha Lyonne's miniseries Russian Doll, which has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.

Anyway, if you're looking for your next binge, then look no further than this 'beautifully shot' series from creator Scott Frank.

Skins fans will recognize actors Jack O'Connell and Jessica Sula in the series - albeit in a very different setting to south west England.

Set in 1884, the series - called Godless - follows Roy Goode (O'Connell), a young, injured outlaw on the run from his vengeful mentor Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels).

Unable to stomach Frank's behavior any longer, Roy winds up in a small New Mexico town called La Belle.

It's populated almost entirely by women after the majority of their men died in a mining accident.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Merritt Wever, Sam Waterston, Kim Coates and Scoot McNairy round off the show's Hollywood cast.

The series released via Netflix in 2017, but fans are still only just discovering it eight years on.

Take a look at its trailer below:

The show racked up a solid 85 percent score from fans on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans making one major complaint; they wanted more.

One person summarized: "An old West story with a new twist. Well worth the watch."

A second weighed in: "Great show. Should've been a complete series instead of a miniseries. I definitely wanted more!"

A third reckoned: "Pretty damn good, easily my favourite western series of the recent times!"

A fourth added: "Beautifully written, paced, shot and acted by an outstanding cast," as a fifth described it as 'a very under-rated Western saga that has been elaborately narrated with a lot of attention to detail.'

Another simply pleaded: "More shows like this please Netflix."

When the series debuted, the Godless team confirmed a second season hadn't been planned, with actor Brodie-Sangster speaking to Hollywood Reporter.

Speaking of the limited series, he said: “It’s got a really nice beginning, middle and end.

"It’s very popular nowadays to just make something go on and on and on.

"At some point, it becomes some sort of money-maker thing, and I think as a viewer you can see that and sense that."

Godless is available to stream now on Netflix.
