Hooked on Deadwood?

Zoe · March 22, 2005

Lots of people have written here about their favorite reality shows. I'm wondering if anyone else shares my addiction: HBO's "Deadwood." My brother got me hooked last season. The writing, acting, and art direction are incredible, and it's a fantastic story too.

Not Deadwood but Carnivale. I've watched since the very beginning and am just enthralled. I will probobaly pick up on Deadwood once Carnivale's season is over next week though.

Both of those shows look SO GOOD to me. I don't have HBO, though, and really can't justify the expense since I watch very little TV these days. I'm making a list of shows to add to my DVD library for my retirement, and these are TOTALLY on it.

Add "Six Feet Under" to your list, Alex. It's addictive! I saw only one episode of "Carnivale" and didn't get into it, but I may give it another chance because so many people I know are hooked.

I have been hooked sence the first year! The only thing there is a lot of swearing....the only series I'did'ent care for was six feet under!

Carnivale looks like Twin Peaks in a circus setting. Ever since Twin Peaks went off the air I've been trying to recreate that transcendent television experience, with very little luck. Deadwood looks amazing, too--I really love Westerns when they're done well. Six Feet Under hasn't grabbed my attenion, but hey, I'm open.

Looks like I'll have lots to do in retirement!

Personally, I'm hooked on Law & Order. My fave is SVU. I don't like the new trial by jury one. Also, I love Monk.

Anyone else?

My son watches Law and Order reruns and new, he's addicted. I can't wait until Deadwood comes back on for the season. Any idea when the new season starts? That's my favorite, I like it better than the Sopranos. Al is a trip.

Zoe, without a doubt Deadwood is the show! I've missed a couple of the ones that have come on but I can catch up on them with On Demand. I believe the new season has started.

I too think that the new season of Deadwood started last week. Season ender for Carnivale is this Sunday @ 10:00. (boo hoo hoo)

HarleyNana · March 23, 2005

Oh my I must be spending too much time on line, I missed the first new show. Does it still come on Sunday and Monday? Thanks

hrv · March 23, 2005

I am not sure about Monday. But it is now on Sunday at 9.

Hey Dead(wood) heads, the new season started three weeks ago! But cheer up -- I think HBO is showing all of the first three episodes this Friday: see http://www.hbo.com/apps/schedule/ScheduleServlet?ACTION_PAGE_LIST=PAGE&PAGE=7

I love Monk too. My brothers and I realized that he could be one of our family, from the looks to the neurosis.
