David Milch made Deadwood a painting I can’t stop being captivated and mesmerized by. The actors, his perfect paintbrush, as he works to have every stroke give meaning to the other. A piece that captures the grit, strength, fears, tears, wins and loses, the fights, the fallen, the good and the bad, the passionate and indifferent, moral and immoral, the learned, and even forgotten, the essence that is the soil we walk on still today.
I loved every character. Every one, even those I didn’t want to. Geri Jewell my sunshine in the mix of it all.
A true and grand work of art. One of the few I can’t help coming back to.
I’ve never been into westerns as a Brit, but God I love Deadwood. I remember being transfixed by this on DVD and eagerly awaited new content. The film just couldn’t make up for the disappointment over its cancellation. Every character is awesome but Swearengen might be my favourite TV villain of all time – and Bullock was a smoldering ember of fury and completely believable as a man on the edge.
Everyone delivered utterly great performances – my other favourite being Brad Douriff’s Doc Cochran and his tormented memories of the civil war. So good.
god rest the souls of that poor family. and pussy’s half price for the next fifteen minutes
I’m curious as to why a video uploaded 4 years ago from a tv show that’s apparently been cancelled is presented as “News”.
No hate for this show, (which I have never watched,) but how does this wind up on Reddit’s news category?
Still the greatest show ever televised. Sopranos a close second.
In my opinion, the set dressing, costume department and general attention to detail during production played a huge part in the success of Deadwood.
Everything looked so convincing, lived-in and believable.
Don’t think we saw such genuine craft and workmanship on screen again until Game of Thrones came on air (The early seasons).
never seen a deadwood commentary before, saved for later,
Does anyone have the Milch/NYPD Blue documentary?
The first time I met him he yelled at me to sit down in the writing trailer because they were finishing the script for the last scene of John From Cincinnati while the actors waited on set. He apologized and gave me the Deadwood season 3 box later when we were off set. What a character and absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately dealing with some terrible stuff now but I recommend reading his Wikipedia, he did indeed get kicked out of Yale after tripping on acid and slicing up a bunch of stuff with actual swords in I believe the Dean’s office building? He also did some of George Bush’s homework while they were in the same frat.
Edit-Deadwood is such a masterpiece and I never knew how organic the writing was. I’m glad his team didn’t lose their minds in that writers’ trailer. It sounds like torture to me. I am not an industry person just a huge fan.
Easily one of the best shows, ever televised. There are some parts that are so well written, they stick with you. Words to live by, kinda.

“Pain or damage don’t end the world, or despair, or fucking beatings, the world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you’ve got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back.”
Wowee, that last statement from David:
I’m a big admirer of our country. And I admire it so much that I love to chronicle its shortcomings; its disasters, unfairnesses and aberrations. Because I think that’s the way you testify to love. I want to glorify America and my idea of how to glorify it is to show it whole, as best I can. I believe that it withstands that scrutiny. And so I look at it hard. And that’s a joy.
I think I just decided to love my country a little bit. Thanks, David. Incredible testament.
Goddamn, I’ve never seen this one before. I could watch a series-length doc just about the process of crafting this show. Once in a lifetime piece of art. Also, I love that nearly every actor goes out of their way to tell the documentarian that they can barely understand Milch’s analogies.
