10. I absolutely loved Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Top tier Coen work.

Behind only Fargo, Big Lebowski, A Serious Man, O Brother Where Art Thou and Raising Arizona in the pantheon of their work.

It is bleak, I will give you that. Even in its more lighthearted moments. And especially in its darker moments. "Meal Ticket" (the one with Liam Neeson) in particular was just haunting.

So I can understand why one might not like it, but for me personally, I found it incredible. Especially on the second watch.
