Deadwood: Season 1

Deadwood, SD is a lawless town inhabited by a mob of restless misfits ranging from an ex-lawman to a scheming saloon owner to the legendary Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. And that's the scene of the richest gold strike in American history...which is where we join the story, just a couple of weeks after Custer's defeat at Little Big Horn.

Not to be missed - Milesian

Almost Shakesperian in it's language and plots. The good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, bad, bad. Totally addictive and a milestone in TV history. Loved every minute of it. Ian McShane creates an unforgettable character in Al Swearingen, and orbitting around him are a glittering collection of marvellous and outrageous lead and cameo roles. Gritty, and dirty, it's the Wild West how it probably really was.

Deadwood not for everyone, but it should be! - TheShamus

Deadwood as a premise sounds like an unlikely favourite for me. To start with -- I am not a fan of the "Western" genre. After seeing Deadwood, it turns out, I was wrong.

Deadwood is based on a real gold rush town when the final states were being Annexed in the US. The characters are real people who existed around this time period --- but the conversations and interactions are fabricated. Deadwood is so realistic, it will affend some potential viewers. The language is harsh -- but it is almost poetic in the way it is used (think of colourful metaphors).

The true GEM in this collection is DISC 6 ... there is some historical data on Deadwood and some intereviews with the actors and the director.

This show becomes an addiction. The bad guys are bad -- but being "bad" is part of survival in a town like Deadwood. Find out what the "law" was like before it was formalized.

Deadwood is highly recommended ... but could be offensive to some viewers. Some of the most smartly written drama/acting on TV.

SNAPSHOT: Gritty. Down'n'Dirty. Realistic frontier life depiction. Historically correct events and setting. Fictional storyline = No Hollywood fluff. EXCELLENT. Colourful language is not gratuitous. Villains and heroes more as they likely were. Not to be missed !!

MORE THOUGHTS: This western is perhaps the most definitive piece of work i have seen about frontier life ever but what else could I expect from Deadwood creator David Milch after watching his other creation, NYPD Blue, for years!! It is intense and award winning! It will draw you in and have you as eagerly awaiting the next disc. as i am. Bravo.
Disc One's 2 episodes start off dark. The ambience lightens somewhat as it progresses into the other Discs without diluting the ferocity of the time - late 1800's. Deadwood is a real historical place. Some discs have 2 episodes, some three, all leave you wanting more and wondering where the time went so fast watching them.
Might i suggest from ZIP.ca
