Pros
- The dialogue is exquisite, top notch. The theme of slowly building order out of wild, dirty violence is thought provoking. And there are lots and lots of fascinating characters played by excellent actors that have well developed arcs and...
- Looks like you need some HBO classics. Six Feet Under, The White Lotus, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rome, Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, Deadwood.
- I think I remember someone here on reddit described Deadwood as Shakespeare in the West. The dialog alone makes it worth watching.
- Deadwood
- I like The Wire, Deadwood, Sopranos, BB, BCS, Dexter, BSG, Parks & Rec, B99, Only Murders, Schitt's Creek, and most British crime shows.
Cons
- It's also the best prestige TV film, compared to Deadwood and Many Saints of Newark.
- Because we've had him as an old-timey marshal in Deadwood, and a regular marshal in Justified, so he really needed a space marshal to round it out.

it wasn't enthralling me the same way it did the first time , or the way that things like The Terror s1 does, or Deadwood, Rome, even on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rewatch.
It's worth it for Al Swearengen alone. One of the best tv characters of all time.
It is fantastic, but be warned, you have to give it your attention. If you are scrolling on your phone or something the dialogue will zip right past you. That said, I loved it.
Is fucking Deadwood worth fucking watching? Yes
Deadwood is an outstanding show.
