Flatwater Monte Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 My only beef with the show was the use of foul language. Call me a luddite, but you don't have to drop an f bomb or g-d every thirty seconds to show the "grittiness" of the era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many real life work situations, I just became numb to it and ignored it. The plot and characters made the series interesting enough to watch. My missus made it through all three seasons, generally enjoyed watching, and she is a Sunday School teacher. I guess a career as a public school teacher helped!

I made it through the series but it is not one I would ever ask my wife to watch with me. Just unbecoming of a gentleman to do that. Sadly, my 13 and 10 year old boys love cowboy shooting and love the shows and movies that inspire it, they won't be watching Deadwood on my watch. We need more Gunsmoke and The Rifleman and less Deadwood and Hell on Wheels (which is my favorite modern western series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'm not a gentleman and neither is my wife... err "Scarlet Letter" prudes. However, we thought it unnecessary to the story for the gratuitous use of foul language. We chalked it up to the time the series was made, which was during the "Sopranos" era. We were able to set that aside and enjoy a wonderful Shakespearian/Victorian melodrama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were able to set that aside and enjoy a wonderful Shakespearian/Victorian melodrama. The producers have explained that they really wanted to emphasize how crude and uncivilized the mining camps of the era were. The writers tried using period correct 19th century profanity but they realized that hardly anybody would understand it. I don’t think it was gratuitous but I must admit it startled me for the first few episodes. But the characters and story trumped the cussin for me. It will be interesting to see if the movie is the same, given the time gap and societal shifts since the series ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 When a thematic element becomes so pervasive that the audience becomes numb to it, it ceases to add to the story. Our opinion only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
