Ok, judging by the title for this review, you can guess what my main problem with Deadwood is. I rented the first disc of Deadwood season 1 because I love the old west theme and I've liked HBO's other productions, so I really wanted to check this out.
Unfortunately, within the first 5 minutes of episode 1, I quickly started noticing a theme with the dialogue that did not let up one bit throughout the 2 episodes on this disc, and that was the profanity. Lots and LOTS of it. I'm no goodie-two-shoes and don't have the cleanest mouth in the world, so profanity in itself doesn't bother me, but when it is SOOOOOOOO over the top that it's a distraction from what is really supposed to be going on, then that's a problem. There were occaisions where characters in this show were able to squeeze in 2, 3 or 4 F-bombs into a SINGLE sentence. No kidding.
They could have used some profanity and gotten the point across, but it was WAY overdone. It wasn't realistic, it was just plain stupid.
It seems like people who are writing scripts for some of these movies and t.v. shows think that if they splash enough profanity around that they can call it "authentic". Doesn't work, people. There had better also be some substance, and I just didn't find it in the first two episodes of Deadwood.
Even if you fixed the dialogue, I found the characters to be boring, as well as the storyline. I really WANTED to like Deadwood, but I just didn't.

i loved this i used the first season from a guy at worked i enjoyed it so much i bought all 3 seasons the only reason i did not give it all 5 stars is it was going to run 4 seasons so i did not like the way it ended at the end of the 3rd season it left you hanging but it was still a good show

This is a good Western story.But it has a whole lot of swearing & some nudity. Do not buy this if you get offended by hearing the F word every two to five minutes.

...for a TV series. After having seen many of the other HBO productions one can defenately spot out certain elements that recurr in their series, whether it be Sopranos, OZ, The Wire etc. Nevertheless even if one was to cut out the foul language, nudity and violence one would still end up with one hell of a TV show. One that no major network like NBC, ABC, WB or CBS would be able to pull off....or at least haven't to this day.

I own the 1st and 2nd season, and will soon add the 3rd season.
I love any decent western movies, especially from hbo.
