DVD Reviews of Deadwood - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Deadwood
Summary: 1 Stars
I hear this tv series is good, but the language has prevented me from viewing it. I have heard it is as bad as it gets. I find that totally unecessary and may prevent many people from viewing some good tv! DVD Review: One of the best TV series ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read about this HBO series three years ago and because I grew up on westerns, I purchased the first season right away. The following weekend became a 'lost' weekend, because after viewing the very first episode, I was hooked, and watched the entire first season that weekend. I did the same with season two and the final season. I raved about it to friends and family and also made the mistake of loaning out the first season.(I had to buy another copy) This is one of the best westerns ever made! The acting and writing is superb!DVD Review: deadwood

DVD Review: I like it but it isn't The Wire?
Summary: 3 Stars
I think that there are two kinds of people in this world. Ones that watched The Wire first, and ones that watched Deadwood first. Which ever one you watch first will be your first love and that will be the end of it. Personally I was one of the people that watched The Wire first, and the tales of McNulty, Bunk, Kima and Omar were way more interesting to me than anything that was in the first season of Deadwood.
Now don't get me wrong, there are some really great characters in this show, and there is obviously some fantastic writing going on, but over all when put up against my favorite HBO show this one just didn't cut the mustard. I'm not saying you should skip this at all though. It is entertaining, and it really kind of turns the Western genre on its head, so it is worth a watch (as I'm sure the other two seasons are, I just haven't seen them yet).
DVD Review: Deadwood is like watching dead wood.
Summary: 1 Stars
If you like the word c**ksucker and c**t you will love this show. After watching Deadwood I feel dirty, and not in a good way. When you watch this show you actually feel like you are covered with mud and later the plague. The show tries to make up for the lack of action and uninteresting plotline by stretching out the scenes with surly looks and by swearing a lot. I was really looking forward to watching it because it had so many GREAT reviews. Liar, liar pants on fire. With that said Keith Carradine, Robin Weigert, Brad Dourif, William Sanderson, Ian McShane, Dayton Callie, and other cast members did and amazing job. Unfortunately Carradine and Weigert departed the show early on. Don't waste your time with Deadwood.
Description of Deadwood - The Complete First Season
(HBO Dramatic Series) 1876. In the Black Hills of South Dakota lies Deadwood, a lawless town inhabited by a mob of restless misfits ranging from an ex-lawman to a scheming saloon owner to the legendary Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. The richest gold strike in American history provides the backdrop for HBO's next great drama.DVD Features:

The remarkable first season of Deadwood represents one of those periodic, wholesale reinventions of the Western that is as different from, say, Lonesome Dove as that miniseries is from Howard Hawks's Rio Bravo or the latter is from Anthony Mann's The Naked Spur. In many ways, HBO's Deadwood embraces the Western's unambiguous morality during the cinema's silent era through the 1930s while also blazing trails through a post-NYPD Blue, post-The West Wing television age exalting dense and customized dialogue. On top of that, Deadwood has managed an original look and texture for a familiar genre: gritty, chaotic, and surging with both dark and hopeful energy. Yet the show's creator, erstwhile NYPD Blue head writer David Milch, never ridicules or condescends to his more grasping, futile characters or overstates the virtues of his heroic ones.
Set in an ungoverned stretch of South Dakota soon after the 1876 Custer massacre, Deadwood concerns a lawless, evolving town attracting fortune-seekers, drifters, tyrants, and burned-out adventurers searching for a card game and a place to die. Others, particularly women trapped in prostitution, sundry do-gooders, and hangers-on have nowhere else to go. Into this pool of aspiration and nightmare arrive former Montana lawman Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) and his friend Sol Starr (John Hawkes), determined to open a lucrative hardware business. Over time, their paths cross with a weary but still formidable Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine) and his doting companion, the coarse angel Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert); an aristocratic, drug-addicted widow (Molly Parker) trying to salvage a gold mining claim; and a despondent hooker (Paula Malcomson) who cares, briefly, for an orphaned girl. Casting a giant shadow over all is a blood-soaked king, Gem Saloon owner Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), possibly the best, most complex, and mesmerizing villain seen on TV in years. Over 12 episodes, each of these characters, and many others, will forge alliances and feuds, cope with disasters (such as smallpox), and move--almost invisibly but inexorably--toward some semblance of order and common cause. Making it all worthwhile is Milch's masterful dialogue--often profane, sometimes courtly and civilized, never perfunctory--and the brilliant acting of the aforementioned performers plus Brad Dourif, Leon Rippy, Powers Boothe, and Kim Dickens. --Tom Keogh
