Deadwood--A little late but I love this show

[Dagger75]

Well after hearing Deadwood pop up now then in conversations I decided to rent it from Hollywood video.

Holy Cow that show rocks. It is exciting, I laugh, I got a little tear in my eye watching the preacher as the story progressed. 2 more episodes to go then I am done. If they are making a seaon 2 I need to get HBO.

Am I the only one that wants to put the Firefly theme song in the begining when I see it.

Season 2 has come and gone my friend, and the show only got better.

It's true. Amazingly, as amazing as the first season is, the second is even better.

Unquestionably one of my top 10 television shows of all time. Probably top five.

Definitely one of my favorite shows. I was a bit skeptical going in, but within 10 minutes was hooked. Swearengen is a real treat. The good news is there will be a season 3.

I've watched the first four episodes so far and I'm mostly unimpressed. Someone told me that the show doesn't pick up until...the thing that happens in episode 4 happens...so I figure I'll try another disc or two.

I am unimpressed (but unoffended) by swearing and nudity, and it always seems gratuitious on this show.

Everyone tells me how multi-dimensional the characters are supposed to be, but I haven't seen it. More importantly, not a single one of them has caught my interest.

And the utter lack of clever dialogue is kinda sucky.

You and I must have vastly different ideas of clever dialogue. I find myself laughin out loud in almost every episode.

Of course, I think dick and fart jokes are great, and that Kevin Smith is a genius.

What?! And replace Hog of the Forsaken? I think not...

Hog of the Forsaken
Michael Hurley

an' The Hog of the Forsaken
got no reason to cry
he got to chew the angels
fallen from on high
he ain't waitin' for no answer
bakin' woeful pie
pie of eyesight, pie blue-black
whoa that pie, the pie of bye-n-bye
an' The Hog of the Forsaken
well, he ain't like you and I
with bones always breakin'
an' no place to go an' lie
he sit in the bog so dark and wet
he got so much time
he ain't even worried yet
The Hog of the Forsaken
he is the pork of crime​

You sure you weren't watching Bonanaza on Nick at Nite?

Finished up Season 1, a new show has been added to my list favorites. Any idea when Season 2 comes out on DVD.

I love the show but it does suffer from Milch's style of having nothing but a concept for each scene when he begins shooting and working out the dialogue with the actors on set. I think that is also why the characters develop slowly but naturally, and their relationships, while as true to history as is known, might be a bit more a matter of how the actors interrelate than how it might have actually been.

Milch's style, btw is why

Spoiler

Ricky Jay wound up not working out on the show as he wanted to write more and take characters in certain directions and Milch apparently didn't want that much pre-determination.

Also, "gratuitous", IMO, has more to do with putting something where it doesn't belong than just allowing it to be where it was, even when you don't necessarily need it there beyond keeping it real. Frankly, I think most television suffers from gratuitous censorship. I think people overuse the expression.

There's little question that it develops slowly. I know that both I and my girlfriend didn't really "get" the show for the first 2 episodes, but by that point we'd started appreciating the characters, and here at the end of S2, they're so rich they're filthy.
