"Do not put unauthorized cinnamon on the goddamn meeting table! That’s all the fuck we need."
Dan Dority in the Deadwood episode Unauthorized Cinnamon
I finished Deadwood a couple weeks ago and I think that’ll be the end of gorging on past TV shows for the moment. Deadwood is an excellent show, but an ever so minor step below the following shows I truly love: The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Freaks and Geeks and Community. However, the show was hitting its stride for me and had the potential to ascend if it hadn’t been cancelled due to HBO office politics. It’s definitely worth watching even with the limp and impotent ending, but it could of, and should of, been so much more.
Seeing Deadwood after Justified is interesting, because of the similarity in Timothy Olyphant’s characters in each. I may actually enjoy Justified more at this point, but I have more admiration for Deadwood. As with Boardwalk Empire or Mad Men, the quality execution of an intriguing period and setting is enthralling on its own.
