I am obsessed with Deadwood. Again, I’m a Johnny-Come-Lately to the Black Hills, but I finally figured out the appeal. It is Little House on the Prairie for grown-ups! More Laura Ingalls Wilder (as told by Mr. Edwards) than Clint Eastwood in argument of its Western genre cataloging. I know Nellie Olsen would have ended up at the Gem.
Alison Bechdel once wrote her qualifications for women characters in film (and good television): 1. must have more than one women who 2.
talk to each other about 3. something other than a
man. Deadwood accomplished this and rocks!
C. loves this show but I never gave it a chance as not into 'period' pieces much but maybe I will. I did notice from my limited exposure they seemingly used the f bomb a lot in the old west :)

Funny--I was just saying the other day that I had no desire to see this show...but if I did, I knew I'd like it because I get well and truly obsessed with HBO series. You convinced me. I hope it's on iTunes.
