I myself have seen every episode of Deadwood, except the last episode of the second season. I must admit my complete love for westerns, and this show is no exception. It completely revolutionized my fews of a "western". The best part of the show for me (besides the blood and gore) is the language. I think its fresh, yet somehow archaic and i cant help but become entranced at the tone and intelligence of the conversations taking place on this show. Especially Swearingen, but also Bullock and even Farnum. I hope it outlasts the timespan of most hbo shows, which seems to be six seasons. I'll watch it until the end, thats for sure.
