I really, really tried to like Deadwood, but couldn't? And I like McShane and Olyphant.

And speaking of American Westerns... Quigley Down Under.

Maybe it was the over-use of Shakespeare influence they used in most of the characters language.
They said it was realistic influence of the day and time.
But it was quacky overall and detracted from the flow.

I only saw it on DVD , and luckily watched the Bonus stuff first.
It told about the realism of the Shakespeare type grammar that was influential, and how hokey most of the lesser educated and unpolished individuals seemed who tried to grab onto it.
They did it for authentic realism ....

It was overboard and should have been left out completely.

Really liked the characters and events.
It kept me glued all the way.

Just saw the "made 10 years later" movie release a couple weeks ago on DVD.
It was intended to bring more closure to the way the series ended abruptly.


The Hateful Eight wasn't bad for a modern day made type of semi-western.
