The Shoutbox
The Shield was a very good show on FX. But no bad language was allowed and this made it unreal for me. Cops in L.A. and nobody has a potty mouth? I much prefer a show like The Sopranos where "f" words abound.
Yes I understand they had to make the show coarse language wise otherwise it would seem hallmrky, but I just found I ws waiting for the next f bomb.

I think it bothered me for the first few episodes. But then suddenly it didn't. I think it was the oddly lyrical nature of the dialogue. So complex (even the idiot characters) and so well written that I forgave them all the potty words. I think the balance of Shakespearean rhythms and potty language made it fascinating. Without all the F-bombs it would have seemed too prissy to be a western.

ANYWAYS.... (If you are a fan of the show, you'll get that "ANYWAYS..." comment.)

Yes it is. I'm sitting in the sandpit right now.
"Mommy, I need to go potty"

"Watch your language!"
"Potty word"

Deadwood was a good show. Too bad it ended so abruptly.

Apparently box sets were extremely limited over here and there were even rumours of hoarding going on - at one point it even looked like they might become the Irish equivalent of Bitcoin.
Amazon Prime (at least here in the U.S.) has a bunch of HBO series on their Prime Video list, including all of Deadwood. Even though I own the boxed DVD set, I typically just use my Roku and play episodes on my TV from my Amazon Prime Video account instead. Far easier than swapping out DVDs every two hours.
Deadwood was awesome.
