I sort of liked cowboy stuff when I was a kid, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The High Chaparral and so on. But I went off it. Even though I've enjoyed the occasional western film since then, Sergio Leone's stuff, Josey Wales, and others, when it comes to it, there's a voice that says "you don't want to watch cowboy shows". I "quite" enjoyed 1883, but not the high-profile sequel (historically) Yellowstone. The less said about the middle-sequel 1923 the better.<br /> <br /> So I've decided to give myself a kick up the backside and stick Deadwood on Plex.

I often enjoy cowboy things when I watch them, but I don't think I ever enjoy the setting itself. To enjoy that *setting* I'd want something like Little House on the Prairie, I think (I dunno, not seen it since I was like 12 but I remember enjoying the setting!)<br /> <br /> But, and this will sound like wankery, but Deadwood isn't *really* a cowboy show. In the same way that Sopranos isn't a mafia thing as like Godfather or Goodfellas are. But more so, it's more not a cowboy show than Sopranos isn't a mafia show. It has some of the trappings like the saloon is a big deal and there's a [redacted] of [redacted] who're [redacted] and there's like literally one [redacted] but they're all used differently, and for different reasons.<br /> <br /> It's a *little* bit a deconstruction of cowboy mythos and stuff. But it's much more just using that setting to talk about something.<br /> <br /> If it helps, the writer initially wanted to make a show set in ancient Rome, following civic guards before Roman law was codified. But HBO wouldn't let him cos they were already making Rome. So he switched it to the old west.<br /> <br /> Anyway, no need to convince you since you're onboard! You *shan't* regret it!</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43059.23&return_msg=43059.16" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43059.23"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43059_24"></a><div class="message" id="message_43059_24"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Drew (X3N0PH0N)<span class="message_time">17 Sep 12:56</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Sep 12:56"></span></span> <span class="message_count">24 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43059.24">43059.24</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43059.16#a43059_21" target="_self">43059.21</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I tried to watch Yellowstone but I'd just watched Succession and it just seemed like Succession but way more boring.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43059.24&return_msg=43059.16" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43059.24"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43059_25"></a><div class="message" id="message_43059_25"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">17 Sep 13:02</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Sep 13:09"></span></span> <span class="message_count">25 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43059.25">43059.25</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43059.16#a43059_22" target="_self">43059.22</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yes to NCFOM, no to Bone Tomahawk.
