The Wire and The Sopranos get a lot of praise in the Film Room, but Deadwood seems to get overlooked out of the early 00s HBO renaissance. Hell I think I’ve seen Six Feet Under get more mentions than Deadwood
Why no love for Deadwood?

Deadwood gets mad love here. It just doesn't really generate a ton of convo.
cinematography. it looks dated compared to newer showsThat’s funny

My guess would be that it's very, very exposition heavy. The quality of the acting often makes it worth it though.
With the movie finally coming out, there really isn't much to talk about or any narrative points left unanswered. Plus the genre itself doesn't generate convo like crime dramas or Sci-fi/fantasy
the actor who played the sheriff was trash
it was cringe everytime he was on camera

Language was tough to follow
The preacher was annoying the first two seasons, he had a punchable face.
The playwright in the third season was useless.
Kim dikken's the whore that can't act right portrayal get old quick, she's okay In The movie, it's a good thing we didn't get a fourth season.
I tried to get my mom to watch, she complained it lacked scenery, it's bar, then hotel, hardware store and back again. There's a bit more scenery in the movie but by then everybody old.
Having said all that I love the series

The dialogue could really thick, but if you can get past that you realize the dialogue is amazing
