In Reply to: In my opinion Deadwood is... posted by clarkjohnsen on May 13, 2005 at 08:38:56:
The Wire is really excellent and I love watching it. I put Deadwood right up with it though. I'm not sure why you would like one and not the other. They share quite a bit: multiple characters, difficult plots, characters with very grey traits. Oz was another show I really enjoyed.
Follow Ups:
The dialog in Deadwood is forced and unnatural.Plus, they killed off Bill way too early...
clark, who's actually been to Deadwood
Bill was a great character but historically that's what happened. In fact, my research found that he and Seth probably never met. The dialogue is a bit play like but I find that works. Deadwood is more accurately a show about the change from anarchy to civilization and all the crap that goes along with it. It is the first show I have ever seen that actually shows the characters getting together and creating governments.
Never saw Walter Cronkite's "You Are There" huh?Also, many of the older movie Westerns developed along that theme.
But it *is* always good to see it.
Also I'll concede that occasionally the dialog rises to Elizabethan heights, and there are moments of humor: Al: "...like this was some filthy fuckin' outpost of Brook Farm."
