when we all think that the western have lose it appeal in our modern day and age and hbo come with a title that definitely prove otherwise . with the stun visual imagery of a sergio leone flick and the sex and intrigue and violence of the soprano and they make the genre come to live a never before . deadwood tell the distinctive story of a little village that strive to stay a free haven for mobster and corruption . big corporation and hoodlum and authority figure all want a piece of it and but local mob leader al sweregan ( ian mcshane ) be stop them with his cunning tactic and violent method . and then there be local lawman seth bullock ( timothy olyphant ) be as idealistic a bendable towards the law . others be the emotionally damage calamity jane and the sweet natured charlie utter and the jewish friend of bullock sol star and grieve widow with a drug addiction alma garret and and the whore trixie and joannie stubbs . this be just a small grasp of the colorful bunch of character that this show have to offer . i adore this show for be painfully raw and oddly sensitive at the same time . people aren not exactly nice to each other and but that doesn not stop unusual friendship and relationship from occur . people be neither good or bad . their choice be all base on the need to get thing do and even if it have a negative effect on the life of others . and sometimes there be no other option than to be cruel . this show really portray our ambiguous nature a human being . thanks hbo and for another great show that become one of my favorite .
