Deadwood: Kausi 2

Western fans without an HBO subscription: this set is a no-brainer.

...welcome to the finest, boldest, richest piece of American entertainment since The Godfather.

Boasting one of television’s best ensembles, Deadwood features a variety of faces familiar to the constant filmgoer.

It sets new standards for the Western drama and brings to life an era of American history that, seen for what it actually was, is all the more extraordinary.

McShane’s slicingly deep voice is like a bowie knife stuck in the series’ heart, but instead of stopping its action, he brings the show to pumping, bloody life.

Swearengen is the evilest of evil guys – the saloon owner who is not only crooked but the biggest, baddest boss in town, a guy involved with everything from whores to gambling to killing – in other words, South Dakota Tony Soprano.
