A bigger bang would have been appreciated to start offвЂ¦ By me, anyway. The action introduced of the missing family was well-executed and established a lot of context within the town (racism towards Indians etc) вЂ“ but ultimately fruitless. I am hooked in at least one regardвЂ¦ All I really want is a wild west Saul Goodman.

So why did I feel unfulfilled regarding his appearances? I want him to develop more than anyone else. Cool accent, sharp dialogue, good set of hair, and dubious moral fibre. And yet, I know instantly who my favourite character SHOULD be вЂ“ Swearengen has everything I usually want. the opening scene, which left Bullock firm in our minds, and the climax, which gave us plenty to mull over regarding the relationship and conflict between Bullock and Hickok. Three firmly established characters, and several minor ones whose faces and names I forgot within seconds of their being introduced. To be honest, what I would have loved here was a 90-minute long, exposition bloated pilot to firmly establish a town, an atmosphere, and a people. Which brings us neatly to the pilot of the Deadwood.

Predictability doesnвЂ™t come into it вЂ“ we all know whatвЂ™s going to happen in any given series or episodeвЂ¦ My philosophy is always that the thrill is in the chase and never in the capture. But this isnвЂ™t about Twin Peaks, nor is it about House of Cards, Louis, which remains a decadently theatrical and above all satisfying show.

My favourite show of ever is Twin Peaks, which neatly encapsulates everything I look for in a TV show вЂ“ itвЂ™s fresh, itвЂ™s offbeat, it forces you not only to think on a higher plane, but to feel in an unexpected fashion, forcing you to feel horror and humour and sorrow and love simultaneously. What I seek out in anything, television included, is something interesting вЂ“ things that are fresh and new and never-before-seen.

Indeed, I find that television often has to go a long way to impress me вЂ“ IвЂ™ll readily throw myself into a film or a play, but a serial has to try harder. I donвЂ™t know if I could really call myself a television buff as it were вЂ“ my true loves stem from theatre primarily. After thatвЂ™s out of the way,В how did you feel about вЂњDeadwoodвЂќ? Were you left as unenlightened as I was? IвЂ™ll let you give yourself a proper introduction, Sam, you vain bastard. Sam and I are almost symbiotic in some regards, though we vehemently and violently disagree on some things (something something House of Cards), so there should be an interesting enough contrast between the two of us. That scene is probably in there, but I most likely need more context to find it.ДЄnd hopefully my complete unfamiliarity with this show will make for some interesting recaps! Of course, it wonвЂ™t just my complete unfamiliarity of this show that will be mercilessly mocked, it will also be that of my good friend Sam Killian, who I managed to sucker into taking half of the workload of this intimidating assignment. вЂAppearвЂ™ being the operative word, as I have no doubt that Deadwood is the type of show that doesnвЂ™t show its hand as easily as others. The pilot of almost every great drama ever made contains that one scene thatвЂ™s a microcosm of that itsВ mission statement (IвЂ™m talking about the likes of Jimmy McNultyвЂ™s conversation about Snotboogie, or Don DraperвЂ™s conversation with Sam the waiter, or Tony SopranoвЂ™s first session with Melfi) вЂњ DeadwoodвЂќ вЂ“ irritatingly the name of the pilot вЂ“ appears to lack that scene.

Louis OвЂ™Carroll:В I spent a lot of time humming and hawing over the opening passage of this review thereвЂ™s an innately human fixation on beginnings and endings when it comes to any type of fiction, and, given DeadwoodвЂs distinct lack of a conventional ending, it wouldnвЂ™t make for a great start if I were to miss the mark on the beginning of what is often considered to be one of the most important pieces of scripted television ever.ДЄnd yet, after one episode, I must admit that I donвЂ™t have a firm grasp of where Deadwood is going.
