  ...a FUCKING COCKSUCKING PILE OF CUNTSHIT.

  The signature foul language substitutes for creative writing.

  Nor can the actors deliver it correctly, as though they've never heard anyone use sailor lingo. Many's the time I've illustrated this to friends by speaking the lines myself.

  Want a truly great show?

  The Wire.

    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.

      The dialog in Deadwood is forced and unnatural.

      Plus, they killed off Bill way too early...

        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."

  the best thing on TeeVee. It really begins to develop after the 3rd show and just blossoms.
