Deadwood - The Complete Second Season (DVD, 2006, 6-Disc Set)

Real characters from history.

The language is off-putting. The language is most likely accurate. Mostly men. Whiskey. Few rules and fewer women at the beginning. A wild west men's locker room without public education or PBS. Season One is the best––with remarkable characters––from Wild Bill to an ailing preacher.Read full review

AN HBO SERIES THAT WAS NEVER FINISHED

This series is very engaging, once you get past the horrific use of the F word (2980 times) and other profanities. It also has some historical accuracies, as Seth Bullock, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Jack McCall, Sol Star, and Al Swearengen were real Old West Characters involved with Deadwood. But the Worst Fault is that the series abruptly ended after the 3rd year!! In the words of the (recently) late Powers Boothe “we were looking forward to the 4th season, as they were negotiating for a fifth season. Then we were told that the Deadwood series was finished”!

David Milch gets the credit for all of the profanities, which he tries to justify during a session with Keith Carradine in disc #6 of season #1. Poor Keith Carradine had to listen to this egocentric writer/producer Brag about himself for 60 minutes!! My condolences go out to Keith Carradine. In my opinion David Milch needs to find another occupation.Read full review

An Awesome series that ended too soon

I loved the characters, the settings and the plot. I'm not good at writing reviews, but I can tell you if you love westerns, you will absolutely LOVE this series. It's raw, brash and emotion filled . Jim Beaver is superb in his role as Whitney Conway Ellsworth.Read full review

Historic view into the story of Deadwood, South Dakota!

I have been to Deadwood many times, the scenery is awesome, many People of the area are ancestors of original founders, and keep parts of the City, historically true. i know that the time period during 1870's was quite a turbulent period. If you have a chance visit this area, much of western South Dakota is pretty much like it was during this period.Read full review

Purchase with concern...

Haven't viewed this yet. I am concerned due to the fact that the discs appear to be scratched more than described. So i may be out my $$ in the end.
