Deadwood Video

Deadwood is another great TV show that got cut-short due to TV executives trying to cut costs due to the expense of other shows (Rome), thankfully they did get 3 brilliant seasons made before this happened. If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing this show set in the ‘Old Wild West’ during the times of the gold rush in the 1870s, I whole-heartedly recommend it!

Deadwood is very gritty and dramatic, it’s also one you really need to pay attention to the video and audio of the show, because if you don’t:

1. You miss out on lots of subtle references and events,

2. More importantly, you may miss the meaning of the brilliant dialogue of this show!

Here’s a Deadwood video that highlights just what the standard of conversation is like compared to what a normal question about pancakes would be, maybe you will learn to talk like you’re in Deadwood too!
