Briefly, this is a Western set in Deadwood just after gold was discovered. Now this is a Western like none I've seen before and I've been around long enough to have seen a bunch. Loved it. Of course, it was and is in HD!
This is why we have HDTV.
Watching HDTV under rainy Seattle skies, Gill
Oh yea, watched the first and second (last night's) episode.
Loved them both. I read an article where some historian from South Dakota stated they are fairly accurate with the historical records of Deadwood although still embellished quite a bit.
The Saloon owner, Schwerenger (sp) is real and he was quite the butt-head.
One thing though, I feel they go a little over the top with the foul language.
I am no prude by any means but really, after hearing the 'F' word and '* (a term for male sex organ) sucker' twenty times in the first 10 minutes. They can do better.
A rumor has it that after the first episode George Carlin Emailed HBO and told them "Enough Already!"
All in all, Deadwood is indeed great.
Oh and Gary Senese (SP) is excellent in his part also!
