Deadwood
- Thread starter Grrrrr
- Start date
Loved all three seasons of this, but as has already been said it's such a shame that the forth season was canned (I seem to remember that the studio only wanted 6 episodes, but the makers wanted to go for the full 12 - or nothing). 
Would be wary watching it now, knowing that it has no real ending. Be a bit like having made Fellowship & Two Towers, and not bothered with Return of the Knig!

on the first episode of s3 , will be truely gutted when this ends, the best series ever created without doubt in mind , and i loved the wire , sopranos etc.
the acting and writing is genius, mcshane proves he is at the top with pacino and deniro in terms of acting for his portrayal of al swearengen, and its a damn fine history lesson too ,not only in deadwoods history, but how a democracy gets born
edit , damn ,4 days off a perfect revival year

Am I the only one who needs English subtitles for this?
Not when every second word is **** or ****.
Ian McShane is superb in it. Who would have thought we'd ever see Lovejoy say the bad c word?

One of my fave tv shows, so good, great characters, theme tune, credit songs were always good. Wish there were more seasons.
Remember The Guardian's Top 50 Television Dramas Of All Time list that was posted here the other month?
This wasn't on it.
Unbe-*******-lieva-****-able.
It wasn't The Wire, but it came pretty damn close.

Aye lol! I have to use those to form sentances afterwards in my head. The biggest offender has to be Calamity Jane (drunk cowgirl?), and the fat hairy barman in the Gym. I can't understand a word they say.

Just watched the first series. It's a mind-blowingly good programme. Probably my favourite TV show ever, alongside the first 2 seasons of 24. (These two are good for different reasons; I'm talking in pure enjoyment terms).
Sorry for bumping this, but for anyone reading this - you've got to watch it, it's great!

Just finished watching the third and final series. Extraordinarily good acting, comedy, dialogue, script, violence, sex, swearing, pathos...anything you could want from a TV show. Cannot believe they cancelled this one yet aired the frankly terrible, 'The Pacific'. Ian McShane is a legend in this show. I also loved W Earl Brown's performance.

Aye me two, been watching it slowly over the last few months. Cant belive this got canned, the dialect is pretty hard to follow sometimes but its a very well polished series!
