Deadwood.
I agree with the Mr. Robot take in this thread but nothing matches the infectious dialogue and energy that takes place throughout the entire Deadwood series. I never hear or see it talked about online or in my friend groups.
Yeeees. I've tried to get so many people to watch it. "It's like literature in TV show form, you've just gotta!" Nobody has. It's so, so, so good. I've watched it multiple times and, weirdly, it's become comfort TV, despite how heavy it gets.
It took me a few tries to get through the first episode, but once it clicked I was hooked. The flowery vulgarity is such a great style of writing. It's since become one of my favorite shows.
About a year or two ago, through a weird six degrees type situation, I got a surprise phone call from Leon Rippy, the actor who played Tom Nuttal. He spent hours chatting with me that night and over the few days that followed. He was so amazingly friendly and full of great stories about Deadwood and all the other shows and movies he's worked on.
SAN FRANCISCO COCKSUCKA!
I was in Deadwood SD this summer, I'll have to check out the series. Thanks for the suggestion!
Literally one of the greatest TV shows of all-time. You won't regret it. Enjoy your first watch; I envy you.
