Godless originally premiered to modest attention, garnering mixed reviews that appreciated its daring narrative but questioned its execution and pacing. Harriet Thorpe's portrayal of The Professor and Simon Cotton's role as Julian added depth to the tense, claustrophobic atmosphere. Over time, however, the series has developed a dedicated following among fans who praise its thought-provoking exploration of faith and the intense psychological drama. Today, Godless is often regarded as an underrated gem, admired for its bold storytelling and layered characters, even as some elements feel slightly dated.
