Deadwood: The Complete Seasons 1-3

I just love the crass reality of this series. Ian McShane is genious in his acting. I enjoyed hearing his and the producer's comments in the "bonus" DVD commentaries. I have never purchased a series like this. If you have seen an episode or two and were into it, then I think that you will be very satisfied with having all three seasons available. If you are not sure about what it is about or have never seen an episode be warned that the language is horrific and delightfully irreverent. They use the "f" word in ways one would never think to use it. Shakespeare, I say. Great stuff.

Because I couldn't use a "No Star" rating, I used the 1 star (my real rating is "No Stars").
I read all 13 reviews (online as of 20 Feb 08). I said that none of them helped me. All I learned was that the reviewers liked the series, and were sorry it was off the air; NOTHING about the item on sale. Is it just the seperate season sets packaged together; or is there additional material?
Maybe Amazon should review the reviews to insure they really relate to the product on sale. I thought the reviews were supposed to help other shoppers decide whether to buy the item or not. The Deadwood reviewers talked about the series and the movies -- they didn't say anything about this DVD set.
Thanks to all the reviewers, I still don't know if the "Complete Seasons" is a good buy or not. :-(

this show has the WORST language I ever heard - it is impossible to follow the story because of the OVER USE of the F word - when it doesn't even fit in the sentence! horrible language made it impossible for me to finish watching the series...too bad it was so over done - could have been a good story about the old west - I would NOT recommend it to anyone!

This was an awesome series and after watching all of them, I purchased the DVD set.

Rented seasons 1 & 2 a while back. To be able to watch both again, including the third season, with the background info at our own pace made us appreciate every aspect of this brillant HBO series even more.
I highly recommend getting all three seasons - you'll understand all the characters better and won't be able to stop watching Deadwood until you complete the series! Please, HBO, finsih this story !!!
