DEADWOOD HBO

DEADWOOD (HBO)

I am completely hooked on this series. The ‘almost-true’ nature of the show, the characters, the writing, the grittiness of the experience are very addictive. Nice to look at, but wouldn’t like to live there.  However, I think the real hook is the language.  Somehow, the long sentences, and the florid, declamatory style of speech combined with a heavy salting of F*cks and C*cks*ck*rs has struck a chord.
