First-rate HBO series about the outlaw settlement of Deadwood, where an array of very diverse characters settle in search of happiness and fortune. Sporadically a bit on the slow side and all in all not much happens, but what beautiful characters and what great, often very bawdy, dialogues. Ian McShane puts down one of the most memorable bad guys ever here, in my opinion. The rest of the cast is also impressive. In terms of structure and quality, this is clearly the precursor to HBO's Game Of Thrones, a series that has clearly benefited from Deadwood's success.

I totally agree with that [user=598]Dr channard[/user]. Been looking forward to the show recently and am still homesick for the town. Suddenly I see the actors everywhere. In GOT Ian McShane showed up and in the 1st episode of Preacher I recognized 'Dan' who played the part of a police officer (or sheriff?). It was that I recognized his voice because without that long hair he looked completely different. The series is of course a bit older...

Sjongejongejonge... I really can't understand at all how this series got such a high score. In the end it always falls back to 'de gustibus et coloribus...', but still.
The Green Mile, the Mafia movies, and American History X, among others, are movies from the top 20 on Moviemeter that don't bother me - but somehow I can understand the success of. Deadwood on the other hand...
The buying and selling of gold concessions, the annexation, the posts in the camp: the common threads are like a bone-dry and dead boring documentary.
Ditto for the endless row of four-letter words.
ditto and most of all for Mayor Farnum's artistic monologues.
Here and there things happen in episodes that are just a bit more interesting - like for example the approach to kidney stones 150 years ago.
But that's not enough for a 5/10.
When I turn off the sound and choose Chinese subtitles, it's not that bad.
The 2* are therefore all for how Deadwood is presented visually.
