"Deadwood" -- a cameo finale on HBO

35.131.202.14

free.ranger

I haven't seen one of the original 36 episodes that ran for 3 years, ending a decade ago. But two of the original actors, Timothy Oliphant and Ian McShane were interviewed about being brought back for a movie finale that starts like there was a real ten year hiatus in their lives.

They said that it was an emotional reunion of actors for a series that was supposed to run for 4 years, but was abruptly whacked at 3. Some of those whose characters were killed off in the series showed up on set to partake of the festivities.

Said to be one of the better HBO series, the follow-up movie is also being hyped. Time to binge-watch "Deadwood"? Can't say. All the above is from a news story. I think the movie may already be out, so check the cable listings for repeats.

"Deadwood - The Movie"... dull, seemingly pointless and a faint shadow... - musetap 20:42:51 06/02/19 (2)
of the vibrant, often brilliant and exciting series.

Mighty fine acting, lax directing, for shit editing and the obvious, sad and painful
results of David Milch's descent into the labyrinth of Alzheimers. That would be the
problem with something SO WELL written residing on the back of someone that
just can not write as well anymore. And David Milch is ALL about his writing.

If they had made it even five years ago it may have worked.

Seemed a nostalgic, painstaking journey to a time and place that may
have thrived at one point, but was impossible to recreate.

Watch the series, it is worthy and then some.

The movie, basically, is not.

  Finally watched the movie last night. It was such a let down. Skip the movie entirely and watch the series instead.

  Agree completely. There were no surprises and the dialogue that was once the star of the show seemed stilted and almost out of place.
One of HBO's best series (this is not faint praise). Enjoy! ^ - Road Warrior 17:56:58 06/01/19 (0)
