Curious what you don't like about it, Brenda.
I kind of thought it was more of a "man" show, but I'm sure plenty of modern women enjoyed it.
It is quite the verbal assault on your ears, isn't it? I don't think I've ever seen another TV show with so much filth coming out of everyone's mouth. I think Timothy and the priest are the only ones who don't use cuss words as punctuation. Calamity Jane probably is even worse that Swerengin.

Finally rodded out my shower drain tonight. The idea of taking one more shower while standing in my own dirt wasn't appealing on a hot day like today. Got my A/C going today too after mowing the lawn, then went out and helped my buddy's dad again today.
Check engine light came back on, on my way home. As bad as that sounds, it was probably the 2nd best outcome tonight short of being able to pass. That thing hasn't come back on since I cleared the code back in summer of last year. Now I have something to show my mechanic. Maybe I just need the 2nd O2 sensor replaced. He did say that both of them were factory original and I was way past the due-date for new ones.

It was definitely a verbal assault. I never have. Timothy's character didn't swear hardly. Calamity Jane was bad and she definitely could give Swearegen a run for his money in that department.
I didn't think of it as a "man's" show or "woman's". It's hard to put into words. I found the first season more interesting then in the second to me the writing seemed to take a dip. I felt like bringing the before unseen Mr. Hearst in wasn't really necessary. They should have left him as a shadow figure. Or maybe he should could have stayed in the territory but not in Deadwood. He was used too much.
Also I felt like there should have been a bigger army presence in the camp as it was the 1870s and they were sitting smack in the middle of the Black Hills. More worry from the camp about the Indians even though the push to reservation was well under way.
2nd and 3rd seasons just felt off to me.

Back and done for the day. Now wait and see if the rain arrives tonight. Suppose to be a soaker tomorrow.

Did you know that central CA irrigates so much agricultural land that it actually increases rainfall in Colorado?
The weather here has been what I call roller- coaster: a few days over 85, then back to more seasonal temps. But dry, of course. Our rainy season is over.
*****
My last radiation treatment is tomorrow, woo hoo! Damn but they take a big chunk out of every day! A big chunk of energy, too. Looking forward to finally getting some time and energy back, altho I will still be getting infusions and followup with physical therapy to manage lymphedema (I was hoping to avoid it but, alas, no) and followup on my kidneys.
Still, except for tiredness after each treatment I feel pretty good. I have a long list of projects I'd like to start on next week (weather cooperating). Looking forward to that!

No, I didn't know that. Huh.
Ah, 85F. We will be lucky at the rate we are going in BC to see that come June. Right now the weather service is worried about all the snow that hasn't melted in the mountains which will mean Spring floods for a lot of places down from them.
Hooray! for the last treatment.
I remember my aunt complaining of the radiation making her tired too.
I hope you can make a start on them.

I wish I could comment more but I think it was mid 2000's or so when I watched it, so a lot of that has faded from my memory now.
So you've watched the whole show now then? I think there was just the 3 seasons.
I really liked Swerengen's turn in the 3rd season. The writing and acting put into that character and the way that they made me actually really like the guy by the end of the show has always stuck with me. If you've watched all the episodes, you know the one I'm talking about when I was talking about the most extreme thing I'd ever seen on a show, although being a lady you might not quite be able to empathize with it on the same level as me.
If/When you watch the movie, I'd love to hear your opinion on it.
