Yeah, for the person who hasn't watched the series it is a tad confusing. Milch wrote the script to mimic an early era victorian Shakespeare play (sort of). I don't care for the constant cursing - bit honestly, I don't believe it would have been as powerful without it.

What I did, however like, was that the show allowed the characters to "let everything go" and act. Ian McShane (in my opinion) is one of the finest Actors alive today and "Deadwood" proves it. It is rough, crude and sometimes hilarious....I would highly encourage you to purchase the series and watch it from the beginning.
