Did Milch perhaps stumble upon a lost play of Shakespeare's and turn it into a TV drama? Because I have no other explanation. Literally what did he mean by this: the show. Honest to fucking Christ, I understood The Wire easier than this, and I hate nogz. Great stuff that really makes you think. Although Alma Garett's character sucks big time.

>Alma Garett's character sucks big time
this, she'd be dead by episode 2 if it was real life.
Deadwood is in my top 5 favorite shows and has some of the most well-crafted dialogue I've ever heard, but I think it's arguable whether it's truly great writing or just flowery theatrical indulgence.
I would trade all seasons of the Wire for one more season of Deadwood

I only wanted to kill Jane, what's wrong with Alma's character?

You're probably a retard who though the whole end segment of the 3:10 to Yuma shit remake was great and plausible.

flowery indulgence? nah. indulgent? hell yeah. it's great writing. the Wu-Who, the fifth estate, the unverified cinnamon, the monologues with the indian head, etc.

Deadwood is really only shakesperian in that the main characters have asides/soliloquies.
Pretty much any episode of deadwood is far deeper than even hamlet or henry 8th
>Past hope. Past kindness or consideration. Past justice. Past satisfaction. Past warmth or cold or comfort. Past love. But past surprise? What an endlessly unfolding tedium life would then become.
What the FUCK did he mean by this?
Can we agree that there was a complete waste of Brian Cox happening here?

that scene and the one before with Tolliver are incredible
>Believing yourself past surprise does not commend you to me as a friend. A man inadequately sophisticated or merely ignorant, or simply stupid, may believe himself past surprise, then be surprised to discover, for example, that Mr. Hearst already knows of my inclinations and finds them immaterial. Suggesting as a corollary that your skills for blackmail and manipulation no longer are assets to you, and for your fatuous belief in their efficacy, in fact have become liabilities.
>In short, you've overplayed your hand. Now I should think, in consequence, now recognizing yourself as a man past his time, that during this last transitional period you would devote yourself with grateful and quiet diligence to such uses as others may still find you suitable.
Was Cy the literal Devil?
