deadwood set still

During these hot, hot summer days, Audrey and I hole up in our one air conditioned room many evenings and settle in to watching the kickasstic flat panel TV I picked up earlier in the season for $300 on Craigslist. We don’t have cable, and I haven’t bought an Apple iTV yet (did anyone buy that thing?), but we’ve been tearing through some shows we’ve heard people talking about.

Deadwood, as many have told us, is our current obsession. Holy crap, that show is awesome! We’re halfway through Season Two and can’t get enough. Here’s hoping they continue the series! A couple nights ago, while our warehouse loft boiled away at a consistent 90-odd degrees, we cranked that lil’ window unit in our bedroom and watched four hour-long episodes in a row!

There is something so delectable, naughty even, about watching 4 straight hours of television. I have never owned my own TV and still won’t bother paying for cable, but I do now realize how nice it is to turn off one’s brain and get sucked into a South Dakota gold rush town in 1877. Yee ha!

BTW, how cute is Calamity Jane!?

  • The fellatio-fueled monologues by Swearengen are a tour de force. I adore the dialogue--best in television.

    Richardson is cute, too. And I believe I've made my feelings about Alma Garrett clear in the past.
  • I was enraptured by this show, but I think that Season 2 really topped it all, tho Season 3 has its moments, even if it's cribbing from McCabe and Mrs. Miller pretty hard.
  • 1.5 f-words a minute sounds about right. Wouldn't make my mom watch it, that's for sure.
  • I've just watched the first couple episodes and I agree, it's amazing. Also, I was reading that overall, the show has almost 1.5 f-words/minute. Crazy.
  • maybe you'll get those 2 made for TV movies for closure (after season 3). or maybe HBO is trying to see if they should do more seasons instead...whichever makes more profit will probably win.
  • Aw hell yeah! Deadwood is fantastic. I've been through seasons one and two, but haven't gotten to three yet. Enjoy it!

    I'd suggest picking up Carnivale next. Definitely worth the watch.
