Episode 3 I started binging it. But having been to Deadwood I think I approached it differently. Forgot how many seasons but it was good.

I liked it from the jump but I'd say once the main characters are established.

Deadwood is my favorite television show of all time.

The first three episodes are good. The fourth, Here was a man, is when it becomes GREAT. And it continues to be excellent for three seasons and a movie.

In this time of extreme division, a show about the importance of community and institutions is more vital than ever.

I actually watched it for the first time the other week at the recommendation of a buddy. There's 3 seasons and a movie.

I really enjoyed it. I really liked Major Dad (Gerald McRaney) in the third season. The third season kind of ended on a weird spot so I'm guessing they didn't know it was the last season.

My one complaint is that they use the same actor for two different characters in back to back seasons and it caused me some confusion about if they were the same character or not just using fake names.

Ian McShane & Timothy Olyphant doing audio commentary together is one of the greatest DVD extras made by man.

I need to check that out. My all time favorite commentary track is the cast commentary for the Scooby Doo live action movie.

Pilot episodes are rarely the best of what any show has to offer... just a bit of getting acquainted with the characters and setting. Also it just scratches the surface as to who Al Swearengen is... he is a total asshole, sure, but a multi-faceted one and you just see the nastiest part to start out with.

Yeah pilot episodes are generally pretty bad. At least watch the first 3 episodes of a show before judging, that's my rule anyway.

Deadwood is good from start to finish.

It's a shame we got a movie instead of a fourth season.

I have rewatched Deadwood many times since it was on originally. Westerns are my favorite genre and Ive always had a propensity to enjoy HBO original series. The majority of them I like a lot and this one was no exception. Its a damn shame this was only 3 seasons. I loved it from episode 1. Just responding to this topic has me wanting to rewatch it right now.

With that being said if you arent feeling it even after only just 1 episode there is a good chance this series just isnt for you. That is if youre being serious and this isnt a typical Sunhawk topic.

Different details, same concept. It's really not that big of a deal. If he's being asked about his role, and that's literally the only thing he did on the show, it's understandable that he'd let it slip and then ask "what's the big deal?"

He's not a bad person just because he's not as invested in the story as others are. It's a bit rude at the worst, not really worthy of calling him a "piece of shit" lol

But basically as confirmed as it can be without being outright stated. I never even read the books and I knew it.

It's not that weird, and actors have said much worse. He's like 81 years old, and was in his 70s when that happened, so I'm not sure why you're expecting him to be super in tune with fandom culture.

He was. People's screeching on twitter when it happened was far more overwrought than it had any right to be. The instant I saw he had been cast for a part in a single episode I thought "dude is gonna die, it's the only reason for him to be in the show". Also, anyone who thought the character who returned was actually dead despite having never died on screen was delusional.

The way people reacted was as if he had spoiled the entire ending of the whole show. He was absolutely right to suggest that anyone who was that butthurt over the spoiling of a character that was expected to return returning needed to get a life. It was an absolutely silly thing for people to be that butt devastated over.

As it relates to TC's original question, it took me about 4 episodes to get hooked. I almost stopped watching after the first episode but I'm absolutely glad I did not.

Depends on the genre.

Comedy: Either 30 Rock or Arrested Development
Character Drama: Probably Mad Men, though the aforementioned Deadwood is certainly up there
Fantasy: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel

I don't have just one singular favorite show.
