Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Anybody watching "Deadwood" on HBO?

I watch it as much as I can and I love it!

I tape it each week - it airs past my new-daddy bedtime.

"Band of Brothers" was pretty awesome, too - worth the $10 a month HBO costs all by itself.

i got a buddy who has the whole 'band of brothers' set on dvd.. i have never seen any of them(never had HBO), so once i get the HT set up, i am gonna borrow the collection, and try and watch at least one a night..

everyone says they are really good.

bigjohn -

my roomie bought the BoB set and we watched an episode a night after I got the HT set-up...it was fantastic. Even without the HT, this was a great mini-series. Something worth owning.

That series is amazing. You'll have a hard time watching just one a night. (speaking from experience)

And then you'll be pissed there aren't any more episodes when it's over.

Totally agree - BoB was one of the best mini-series that I ever saw. Very touching, lots of action. Stylistically gorgeous. From what I understand - limited at best - it was pretty accurate.

And the collest part of all - the series,w hile following the same characters throughout, focuses each episode on a different aspect of the war - whether it was the guys on the front lines, the rookies, the nurses, the officers, etc.... and they had more than one director involved, which gave the series multiple messages within multiple viewpoints, all under the careful eye of Spielberg and Hanks, both self-proclaimed WWII nuts/buffs.

Really great stuff. In many ways, better than Private Ryan, on the whole, and better than most movies on a per episode basis.

Oh, and the DVDs come in this truly righteous packaging that folds out like artillary rounds. It's a nice addition to your collection.

BoB is a great series. I have, on two occasions, sat down on a cold, snowy weekend day and watched the whole thing from start to finish. They did a great job. I was surprised to find out that Damian Lewis, who plays th emain character, is English.

I'll wholeheartedly agree, BoB is one of the most accurate, well done war movies/series ever. The extras were entertaining too, I especially enjoyed the taping Livingston did during boot camp!

Yeah, that guy from Office Space was pretty cool...

Ya, I have watched it. It's like an eternal re-run. It's the same thing every episode. I quit watching.
