I know, i know it's over....but "Deadwood" was SOOO good. People who don't like it, that's ok. The cursing was always talked about, and I loved to read the articles about how people really did "talk" in the Old West...a mixture of Gaelic, Scottish, British, and other worldly cursing were sure enough used quite often. I think the writers turned it up a bit for this show, because the setting is a "new" frontier town, not one with so much established cultural expectations. Some people may disagree but I would give anything to go back to that time in our history to just see and hear how people really were. In the meantime, "Deadwood" is not a representation but very adult and entertaining viewpoint of the women and men of the final frontier of our country. Hilarious, very loving, and bittersweet. Just like our country.
If you have never watched "Deadwood" give it a visit...there's a reason why so many people hated to see the show get shut down..due to HBO budget cuts. If you don't like the first episode, watch a few more...there are alot of underlying stories being told, and a ton of stories about how men and women had to fend for themselves in places where the law was whatever someone decided for the day...
We are all still waiting on the movie!
