Can you hear the thunder?



I just finished watching HBO's critically-acclaimed, however, short-lived series Deadwood, and wanted to f**king write a little f**king blurb about it.

You see, that's a joke. Reason being, Deadwood's excessive use of profanity is somewhat legendary. Don't believe me? Let's just say, if you were playing a drinking game based on the work f**k, well, you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning before the end of one episode. For more info, click here.

So, if you haven't seen the show and are debating it, here's a few things to know about Deadwood.

  • It's fictionalized, non-fiction.
  • Ian Mcshane is absolutely incredible.
  • Al Swearengen rivals early Jack Bauer as my favorite television character of all time.
  • You will need subtitles.
  • If you are offended by the words f**k, c**ksucker, and c**t - then stay away.
  • If you like the show Major Dad, then this may ruin it for you.
  • Timothy Olymphant is great in this, as oppose to everything thing else I've seen him in.
  • John Hawkes is great, as always.
  • There is a cast member of 'Facts of Life' featured on the show.
  • This show features the greatest, most brutal and intense fight scene I've ever seen in film and tv.
  • The show ended prematurely, however, I was not disappointed.
  • This is not a western.
  • The show often feels like a stage play, which is pretty cool.
  • The ensemble cast is brilliant.
  • Hope you like you some Powers Boothe.
and finally,
  • Deadwood, isn't something 'she said.'
