This series is not for someone who's favourite TV series is Little House on the Praire! It is gritty and hard hitting and will teach you ( if you don't already know them all ) every swear word that has ever been uttered in the history of the world. Its characters are rich,well developed and layered. The story lines are clever and real. If you like your dramas to smack you in the face you are in for a real treat - HBO at its best.

Warning: this product is definitely for watching after the kids go to bed. But you may have to start up your own swearing penny jar.
At the time Deadwood came out, it got a ton of publicity for the most uses of the F word imaginable. I would say they moderned it up a bit, because the swearing that made ladies swoon back in the 1800s probably wouldn't make us bat an eye today. What publicity the show didn't get was about how great the show was anyway, despite swearing a blue streak.
I tend to hate westerns, but Deadwood is visceral, colorful, and completely engaging. You can feel the mud and grit and taste the antifreeze they're drinking. I'll be the first to admit that for a long time after watching, it did have quite an adverse effect on my language, however.
The series ends rather abruptly, in part due to unexpected cancellation and in part because it would have been hard to put a final ending on history that did go on. If you watch the special features of the complete box set, you do get to see the creator of the show being a grump (mildly put) about the whole cancellation.
But all in all, it's a great show. It makes a great gift, and it's been making the rounds among my family members who all have given Deadwood two thumbs up. Buy it, ya ****suckers.

Pure Dead Brilliant. Heartily recommended. Only complaint (not to the creators, but to the studios) is it's 3 year reign being far too short. I could taste the dust and smell the human waste in the streets. Every episode made me want to bathe. They were not your average characters, but real people who let us into their town for a spell. E.B., Jane and Doc are personal standouts for me.

deadwood difficulties
I loved the series, but there were a few technical difficulties, as the picture and sound would not be there for brief periods during the playing of the episode. Read more

Done too soon.
The coarse language can be off-putting, but the wonderful acting and story lines more than make up for that. Read more
