Hey kids, TJL here.
I was wondering if anyone has been watching HBO's newest drama "Deadwood."
I must admit I wasn't very interested in seeing this show, but I caught a mini marathon of eps 1&2 last night on HBO2 and I am hooked.
It's a really bleak, violent, dirty (and probably realistic) view of life in the "old west" in the lawless town of Deadwood.
It aint "Bonanza," if you catch my drift.
It has some great characters and some great actors, and Kieth Carradine plays real life gunman Wild Bill Hickock.
Not to mention it has one of the most vile evil bad guys ever to rule a town with an iron fist.
If you can stomach the not so happy portrayal of frontier life (again, it aint no "Little House") Deadwood is for you.
Oh, there is lots of foul language (apparently the "F" word was as popular back then as it is today) so viewer discretion is advised.
;)
