DVD Reviews of Deadwood: The Complete Series
DVD Review: Don't Call Or Come Over While I'm Watching Deadwood
Summary: 5 Stars
So, I must confess. I am a "Deadwood" junkie. I have purchased the complete series and look forward each evening to spending time with these bigger then life characters based on the gritty mining camp of Deadwood(Don't call or come over between 10 and 11 PM, I will not answer the phone or door!).I even love sitting through the opening title sequence each and every time.
Legendary characters Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane mix in with the fictional characters who are some pretty gritty and most often lecherous people, who speak like they were brought up on the King's English, but may also set a new record for the most swear words in any program. There is also quite a bit of sex, nudity and violence. And although all of that only add to the "ambiance" of the setting, it is certainly not one for the kiddies or anyone who cringes at 4 letter(and longer) words.
Here is a little about the opening of the series, from there I was completely hooked.
Episode 1: "Deadwood"
"No law at all in Deadwood...is that true?"
This of course, is the episode that will introduce you and hook you on all the fun and the characters that grow throughout the series and grow on you.It will be hard to chose a favorite. They are all shall we say "charismatic" in their own special way...
Ex Montana Marshall, has rolled into town with business partner Sol Star. They open a hardware business for the miners of the camp. It isn't long before Bullock meets up with the legendary Wild Bill Hickok, and also is at odds with the owner of the "Gem" saloon, the formidable Al "pardon my French" Swearengen. Swearengen seems to be the Godfather of the the camp. He has his finger in every pie, and nobody seems to make a move without his approval. Al may at first rub you the wrong way with his crude style, but I have to say, that he has become my absolute favorite of the series. This episode has commentary with writer/creator David Milch as an option.
The muddy midway of Deadwood comes alive in this very real series. The cast of the series is marvelous. Timothy Olyphant, Ian McShane, Molly Parker, Jim Beaver, Brad Dourif, William Sanderson, Powers Boothe, and Keith Carradine(Wild Bill), will all draw you in immediately.The music is so good I bought the Season 1 soundtrack that mixes short quotes from the series(also explicit) with some western style music and some great blues. Each episode runs about 50 minutes.
My 5 stars rating is for the entire series, each and every episode. By the way the clarity of the picture is excellent and the sounds of the Old West will come alive in your living room.
I bought each season individually as soon as they came out, but if you haven't got around to buying them yet, or if you know someone who would kill or die for this series for Christmas, now is the time to pre-order. The deal is a good one at this time(I paid much more buying them separately). Prices do change though so check each season separately as well when you are ready to order(take shipping, if any into consideration)
Check out this great series..be careful though, it's addicting!

DVD Review: 19th disc ??
Summary: 5 Stars
The show speaks for itself. If you love American history in its rawest form you cannot go wrong with this series. HBO knew when to end it, to the huge dismay of its many fans....but, with all 3 seasons avaialable in an 18 dics compilation....why is this one not released until Dec. 9 and why the mystery about the 19th disc? I cannot find an answer on any website offering this 'new' release of an awesome series and am very interested.......DVD Review: deadwood tv series
Summary: 5 Stars
Deadwood was one of the greatest shows on tv.The writing was supurb,The cast was nothing short of fantastic.yes,the show was a bit raunchy and the language vulger,it was still a show worth watching.some of the greatest scenes were with Al Swearingine,Seth Bullock,EB Farnum,and the hilarious Calamity Jane.This show is fancinating,hilariously funny,and at times sad.
