I felt like the joke got old before the end of the first episode.

You guys seen this one yet?

I watched the first two episodes of Deadwood last night. I'd never seen it before. It's been on my list for so long, I was glad to finally get a chance to sit down and give it a go. While it's certainly a competent show, and many aspects are very good, including some of the performances (Ian McShane, I'm looking at you), I'm not sure I get why people love it so much.

Does it get better? Is it like Mad Men? Do I need to give it five or six episodes before it clicks? I don't dislike it by any stretch, but I'm not seeing anything that puts it in the "best of all time" category like so many others have said before. I'm not going to quit it yet, but I'm just wondering if it's just me or if the show gets better.

Yeah, I'll definitely keep watching it. I'm just going to lower my expectations a bit. I think I'll enjoy it more without all the baggage of best of.

it was more groundbreaking or whatever when it came out; there was nothing else like it on tv then. it's very influential.
