Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
My wife quit Deadwood after two episodes when I first tried to foist it upon her. This time I got her to commit to watching through the third before she decides whether to stick it out or give it up. She's hooked.
It's a lot at first, I thought about giving it up. I think it took one whole disc for me to become...invested.
what was it do you think? the language? the brutality?
it took me a bit to get into it as well.

That combined with the deliberate pace made it disconcerting at first. Also adjusting to notion that Bullock/Swearingen (heh!) weren't going to be a simple good guy/bad guy dichotomy.
All of the above, I'm thinking.
Mostly for me, because it was majorly graphic, and I was kind of stuck on "Really? A Western?" Not to speak for Mrs.Industries.
I think she was expecting Keith Carradine to clean up and be the hero of the show. That obviously didn't happen. I reminded her that he didn't fare too well in McCabe and Mrs. Miller, either.
Yes, it does work against what years of TV has taught us.
