re: Deadwood or The Walking Dead?

I've heard great things about Deadwood but haven't watched it. So I need to add that to my bucket.

Walking Dead's 1st 3 seasons are good. I think I punched out after season 5. But from what I've heard about Deadwood, these shows aren't in the same league. So I would go with Deadwood.

Deadwood is the better show but it's short. Only 36 episodes

True, but the episodes are usually between 50 and 60 minutes, so you are essentially looking at 18 feature length movies.

It’s funny that literally zero people in this thread have said TWD.

Deadwood is absolutely great. The third season dips a tad and is a bit of a letdown. But it’s an awesome, fun show. And Al Swearengin is one of the best TV characters of all time. And the movie is even pretty good as well.

But I’ll throw some love to the first 5 or 6 seasons of TWD. It’s really good for a while and was appointment viewing at one point. I think the latter seasons of the show have turned people off on the series as a whole, which makes sense since even I checked out after a certain significant incident happened (don't remember which season that was when ____ left). Sure, TWD got repetitive and sort of silly eventually. But that show was awesome for a good while.

But all of that being said, since the OP directly is asking between the two, it’s Deadwood and it’s not close.

Watched the first episode of Deadwood. A lot of familiar faces.

Now I see where all the cocksucker references came from

“Take him over to Wu” = the original “take him to the train station”.

Deadwood no doubt! BUT it all depends on your preferences. Walking dead is more sci-fi oriented (apocalyptic) which is not my cup of tea.

Deadwood, all three seasons need to be watched.

Walking Dead, You can stop at the end of season 6

There is only one correct answer to this question, and it isn't Walking Dead.
