As a follower of American shows for a long time I am pleasantly surprised that a show of a caliber this real would have a following. I feel that in many ways this show (as Americans call it) display a realistic version of a part of history that has previously been narrated in an fairytale-fashion. I think that there are a lot of people that look forward to series with characters as interesting as Al Swearengen and characters portrayed by super actors like Powers Boothe and Peter Coyote (my personal all-time favorite). I hope Deadwood will spearhead a new kind of series for a global audience. I have previously been a fan of "Profit" with Adrian Pasdar, but since then it seems that there is a lack of controversial shows. My Favorite movies are: Bitter Moon, Moonstruck, Sideways, Breaking Away.
