Deadwood

[stimpee]

I've been riveted to my seat watching this great programme. Set in the western mining town of Deadwood in the goldrush of the 19th century its a no holds barred series that really packs a punch. The characters feature people loosely based on people that really lived there such as Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane.

Now onto the 3rd (and unfortunately) final series with each episode being 24hrs and there being 12 episodes per series, a lot happens in one day. The 4th series was shortened to 6 episodes which didnt go down well at all with the writer who then preferred two 2 hour specials that cover a lot more time.

Its certainly more realistic than any other western series or movie ive ever seen and its great. In the UK unfortunately, Sky have bought the rights and it hasnt yet reached terrestrial channels.

Anyone else watching this? HBO Page Wiki
