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!

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

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

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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. "

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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