Deadwood (Seasons 1 & 2)

Rating: A

Premise:  HBO series that revolves around the gold mining camp of Deadwood.  It centers on the relationship between the kind-hearted murderer/casino owner/pimp Al Swearingen and the uppity, stalwart Sheriff/Hardware salesman Seth Bullock.

Recommend?:  Absolutely.  I'm actually halfway through Season 2.  DH wanted me to watch this with him to see if it was a series we could enjoy together.  I reluctantly agreed but now I'm the one who is itching to watch the disc when the happy red mailer comes in.  The characters are fantastic as is the writing.  I'm so BUMMED smile_baringteeth that they only made three seasons.   Only watch this when the kiddos aren't around (out of the house, preferably) as the language in this show is filthy.
