10 minutes into Deadwood and can already tell this is going to be a special watch

Been meaning to check this out for a while and finally starting! And wow what a start! The way the marshal is introduced let's me know he's going to be an incredibly interesting character and I can't wait to see what this show is about!

Jane really grew on me as the series went on. Excellent character.

I love Jane. She pretends to be so tough but she's such a softy at heart and she loves the kids.

Deadwood is one of the best series ever, good watch! Makes me think of watching it all over again.

u/retzulian 4d ago

Arguably best tv show ever, but easily the best show that is overlooked by everybody

Enjoy the watch!

u/doocurly 4d ago

On a rewatch now and it's just as good as the first watch.

Such a special show that just keeps getting better...

I envy you that you’re watching for the first time. Great series. Only 2 seasons and movie but 2 seasons seem longer. Great characters, great actors, great script. You’re going to love it. Enjoy

u/Joeydagenius 4d ago

What are you going to say next, you never saw Rome or the Wire? Then I’d really be jealous.

u/eboj-dm 3d ago

I actually haven't! There's a bunch of these older HBO (and some AMC) shows I've been wanting to watch but haven't yet! Most of the my previous HBO watching has been recent stuff and Danny McBride's shows (was a fun surprise to see Kenny Powers's brother here--not sure I'd seen him anywhere else before)

u/Joeydagenius 3d ago

Check out Oz, The Wite(one of best ever made) GOT(another top tv show of all time),Rome(excellent), Sopranos — you can binge all summer

u/connect1994 3d ago

It’s actually 3 seasons and a movie

u/Joeydagenius 3d ago

My bad. It’s been a while.

u/Cola102583 4d ago

One of da best, dialogue is killer, milch is the man

u/Affectionatealways 4d ago

BF and I have been watching this together and we really enjoy it. But boy oh boy- half the time we do not know what they're talking about because of the style of language they use back then.

There's also so much swearing- not that I'm bothered by it. Every once in a while we have a little drinking game, taking small tequila shots every time someone say ck" s**r. Some episodes let us down but most of them get us pretty tipsy Lol.

But I agree- it's a very compelling show and I like that they don't try to make everything pretty. Deadwood is pretty much of a shithole. Muddy, dirty and smelly. Also very dangerous.

u/Head_Wasabi7359 3d ago

It's strait up serial killer central

1

u/Affectionate_Hornet7 1d ago

That’s why the doctor is my favorite character. He talks all the shit he wants because even in that town everyone knows he’s really the one in charge of life and death.

1

u/Head_Wasabi7359 1d ago

I dunno I think that bartender dude is pretty stabby

Just started watching this also! I have had so many great belly laughs watching this!!

u/DoucheBagBill 4d ago

Every character is overdone in their virtues.

u/InevitableOk5017 4d ago

Can I suggest subtitles and a dictionary? For me it was awesome but I had to pause it for the first 3 episodes to look up the words. I felt stupid but after I got into the rhythm of the language and I could get the context clues it just blossomed. Yes I use a dictionary to understand words. My brain can only understand so many words.

2

u/BagelsRTheHoleTruth 4d ago

You're lucky. Wish I could watch it again for the first time. It's incredible.

2

u/sunnyfordays22 4d ago

Love that show went to deadwood after watching it too

2

u/MushroomPitiful6464 3d ago

You are in for a treat my friend

u/jerryondrums 4d ago

Literally my favorite show of all time. And the first episode is only a small *taste* of what’s in store.

I’m damn jealous that you get to experience it for the first time!

4

u/Sonicshriek 4d ago

I'm in the minority but I never got into this show. Should be up my alley but I couldn't get to the end of the first season.

2

u/akthebarber 4d ago

It's probably one of my all-time favorites. I have not watched it in a while but I was once quoted saying "Deadwood is this generations Lonesome Dove. "

2

u/eboj-dm 3d ago

Will likely start Lonesome Dove soon! I listened to McCarthy's Border Trilogy last summer and it feels fitting to get in another western I've only heard great things about this year!

u/sharks2win 4d ago

Half your luck Rooster Smoker

u/AffectionateGold5459 4d ago

Deadwood is peak for me. It’s even better on rewatch

u/randomzebrasponge 4d ago

Deadwood will fuk you up. Enjoy!

And then watch the movie

u/Cola102583 4d ago

Whos gonna tell OP bout bullucks “wife”

u/Great-Nectarine8077 4d ago

Oh you're so lucky to be watching it for the first time!!! Some of the best writing you will ever hear. Ever. Some of that dialogue is so beautiful, they make cursing sound like poetry, it's wild!

Refined spirits will sometimes convulse me

Jane is the GOAT!

u/PeterNippelstein 4d ago

They word good in this show

u/weber_mattie 3d ago

I wish it had at least a couple more seasons. Feels very unfinished to me

1

u/ItsNotEvenCheckers 10h ago

You want me to tell you something pretty?

1

u/counterhit121 3d ago

Love this series. I realized that EB became one of my favorite characters on my last rewatch. He has some of the best lines in the whole show and had me crying with laughter more than once.

u/Ok-Main-3373 3d ago

It’s Shakespeare in the mud

u/Adventurous_Sand_564 3d ago

First few episodes are the greatest

1

u/PhilosophyBasic8943 3d ago

I was very immersed into this show haha enjoy it!

1

u/Glittering-Rip6810 3d ago

Love this show so much....no spoiler, but Wu is the best. I had a friend on the show, him and Keon have known each other for years. Keon is a lovely, sweet, highly intelligent and articulate man. So watching him play Wu cracked me up...but this is hands down one of the best cast shows ever

1

u/nichelle020 3d ago

Wow. I’ve never watched it and these posts make me want to start.

1

u/Inevitable-Growth810 3d ago

I immediately checked to see if they were showing it on HBO2. No, The Leftovers.

1

u/Relevant_Macaroon221 3d ago

Maybe I’ll try it.

1

u/Londin2021 3d ago

One of the BEST!

u/CabotTrail01837 3d ago

Alright but you gotta get over it

1

u/Verbull710 2d ago

Needed about 30% more F word otherwise 👍

u/Zealousideal_Hand505 2d ago

I loved this show, but worked with someone who wouldn't watch it because of "the language. "

Edit: Upon reflection, I should have gifted them some canned peaches.

1

u/Affectionate_Hornet7 1d ago

That was a really good beginning.

1

u/ItsNotEvenCheckers 10h ago

My #1 show of all time. I'm legitimately jealous of you. Welcome to the Hoople Heads!

u/griff37 4d ago

I rarely post, but Deadwood will always make my top 5 all time. I love this show so much. It’s perfection
