IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Shweta Mayekar Deadwood. The writers of this show really know how to write a character. The show paints authentic people and has casted them even better. I have always known Ian McShane as an evil rotten actor and hence was fully prepared to hate him in this show. On completing the first season of this series, I am left thoroughly confused, as with the course of the season, my hatred towards him has surprisingly changed into slight admiration tinged with disgust. Not one character on this show is wholly good or bad, but instead are different shades between black and white. I find myself rooting for the baddies but still hoping justice is doled out. Timothy Olyphant is a delight to watch and so are the supporting cast. Brad Dourif especially stands out as Doc. The show is paced a bit slow but it doesnt disappoint, as every actor shines in their respective role. I cant wait to watch the second season to see the relationship between characters develop or rot. Anything can happen in Deadwood.

cornman56227 Is there anything else to say??? BEST ALL-TIME Please watch and I hope they make the MOVIE this year??!!

user-64086 I don't mind swearing and I certainly wouldn't be watching an HBO show if I was a prude or squeamish. That being said, if the writers omitted the words; F#@K, @unt, and especially @ocksucker from the dialog, the episodes would be reduced from 50mins down to 15mins. I'm not exaggerating the over saturation of the swearing and the word @ocksucker is often used several times in a sentence and throughout the entirety of each episode. It reminds me of the stupidity of the Battlestar Galactica fetish for the fake word "frak" Other than their lack of a thesaurus, the show is watchable and seems to be well acted and thought out.

magnus-doh As everyone else I immensely enjoyed this western drama set in the post-north/south-war-era. The acting was top notch. Especially Ian McShane. Powers Boothe is also at his very best. But most were a joy to watch. The biggest impression was still the characters' lines. Especially Mcshanes monologue lines. Poetry. And delivered as such. Shakespeareans should watch this series just for the dialogue. No kidding.The last episode of the last season before the series was cancelled left much to wish for though. There were a lot of inconsistencies in that one. Especially that the righteous kind of characters would so easily have swallowed the murder of an innocent just to cover up tracks. And that the "evil" character of McShane's who went through several stages from an all out evil to pretty decent made such a choice. Especially when his major motivation was that he didn't want to be told what to do.So unfortunately I understand why the series got cancelled. I would have chosen to replace the writers though instead of cancel it. Having such a stellar ensemble at hand is a rare thing. A series placed in an interesting time to boot.
