I'm a huge fan of Deadwood. A hugely underrated show that only ran 3 seasons because they couldn't get enough of the cast to agree to terms for the fourth season. After 10 years they are going to wrap up one of the best series that has ever been on television with a feature length movie (May 31st on HBO). I can't tell you how horrible it was to not get season 4 of that show.

My gf's uncle is Charlie Utter in Deadwood. He's in a bunch of other things too.

I liked Deadwood, but the dialogue wasn't my favorite and they said **** sucker every other word.

The series ran too short. But why? They could have dragged this out much longer and been a much better show. Why cut a series short that is this popular?

Because they knew they couldn’t stand up next to Martin’s materiel. They knew the ship was sinking. So end it fast.

Hey, Richie shows up and is a good boy...for only so long and then reverts back to the scumbag he is. Hey, Ralphie shows back up and is a good boy...for only so long and then he reverts back to the scumbag he is. Hey, Tony shows back up and is a good boy...for only so long and then he reverts back to the scumbag he is. So original.

Its about the conflict within Tony, the catharsis, you're just pissed off it was based in Jersey and you didn't get a look in or a complimentary table at the Bing.

Dan fighting the Captain was one of the best fights I've ever seen on TV. Love me some Deadwood, I share the same fear on the movie, isn't it supposed to be a couple of movies?

I’ve never watched Deadwood and I knew exactly what fight you were talking about. Crazy.

Did any of you cry or feel shocked or gut punched when the dragon died in episode 4? I didn't. It was like, oh hey is that dragon really dead, hum. That escalated quickly. Sucks for Danny I guess.

Missandei's death had some emotional impact for me. It was so pointless, though. Cersei never heard of using a hostage?

They could still have the conflict within Tony without the same templated seasons.
 
I think this represents how Game of Thrones was created through the years;)

The dialogue is pure gold imho. How do you think mostly uneducated miners in a wild west frontier town would talk? I think it's perfect.

Yeah, I get that, but that's just not my thing to listen to. I don't have a problem with swearing, but they over did it and it made the writing seem lazy to me. I still enjoy the show, but that's my biggest complaint.

"Most people remember HBO's “Deadwood” as “that show where they swore a bunch.” To put that in perspective, the word “****” is used 2980 times in 36 episodes, at a rate of 1.56 FPM (****s per minute). The fan-favorite “**********” is said less, butis uttered more than 300 times."

Not that I disagree with your overall point, I love the dialogue in Deadwood, but it's a little anachronistic. They would be swearing a lot to be sure, but the F word, and other generally sexual slang terms (like **** sucker) weren't commonly used iirc.
