A short review of Deadwood .TV series:

A short review of Deadwood .TV series:

One of our hobbies for the evening time is watching T.V series and movies, meanwhile eating our dinner.

One of the series which I am addicted and draw my attention to follow the storyline is ‘Dead Wood’.

Deadwood is town in South Dakota ,which is part of uncivilized society on that period of time in old America back in 1800’s. Covered by corruption and violence every now and then.

There are a couple of characters whose personalities are kind of bizarre in the movie. One of the main character is “Seth Bullok” who I call him “swollen -stick man”. He is kind of arrogant and far from the community. He moved with his Jewish friend to the town and tired to find a legal business there and got a second position as a sheriff there. He is nice and trust-worthy, but he involved with affair with a rich widow calls “Alma Gareth” and in meantime tried hard to bring peace to the camp ,but his snobbish ,cold manner make the audiences feel hatred towards him ,sometimes!

I don’t admire her either ,as she is too rich to be there ,I mean part of the community .She never find a friend or even try to have one, more over she accept a Norwegian child under her authority and adapt her.
Her husband killed there and instead of being positive or doing something she tries to keep the gold from her husband side and has affair and he is addicted to drugs as well. She has to make a forceful marriage as she is pregnant secretly from sheriff and she wants to keep all her will for herself rather transfer to her ex husband family, in meanwhile she got sick and got rid of her illegitimate fetus and then treat her second husband badly , unfairly and draw back to the drugs again after a break.

We have Jane a cow boy drunk girl who tries to act so shrewdly and be as man in that society ,nice helping others but always drunk, on the other hand we have a young whore who find the Jew man( sheriff’s friend) attractive and try to spy on them in favor of her old fucker and boss in whore house and get a job there and her previous activities involve with being baby sitter for the rich widow as well…

We have a lot small other characters who act pretty nice and in their position have a great ,valuable role in the movie though.

In brief it is an epic story of greed and power, war and romance, forbidden loves and secret alliances, and a young hero who rises to power in a modern-day kingdom.
