I've always been a big fan of Ian McShane especially in the excellent 'Lovejoy' series many years ago. In 'Lovejoy' you see him at his family entertainment best. In 'Deadwood' you see him at his adult entertainment best. And no, I don't mean porn. I’m not going to give the plot away as a few others have almost done, all I’m going to say is, if you like adult language from a great cast, then you're not going to be disappointed with this well presented 12 DVD box set Nothing's perfect, so here's a few gripes. The menus and intros on seasons one and two are really polished and well done. You get nice moving graphic menus, together with a wittily written prologue giving you a brief idea of what’s to come. However, the last season, season three, the intros and menus look as though they were made on a tight, possibly dwindling budget? As all you get is a plain static graphic which when compared to the previous menus, looks quite naff. My other gripe is that you would have thought they'd have had one actor to act out one part. For some strange reason they used one actor for two entirely different parts and these were not small roles either. Did they really think we would not notice? Hmm, thinking about it, this may have also been due to a possible dwindling budget? Who knows. Lastly there were a few stutters/freezes on one of the discs but these few gripes didn't spoil the watch ability and excellent overall quality of this series. This is one of the best TV series to have come out of Hollywood in a long time and to my mind this box set is money well spent.Read full review
Not to everyones taste, very graphic images and language but you are drawn into the story and get to know and hate some of the characters. Very easy to binge watch, even with three series. If you easily offended then not for you.

Ian Mcshane is brilliant as Mr Swearengen with his unconventional language, Calamity Jane is good and Timothy Olyphant is great casting, truly the most original Western series
