Better off silent
I haven't seen Rome yet, but I thought Deadwood was so slow in the first couple of episodes that I never even finished the first DVD. And I love westerns.
Wow, you're definitely the first person I've ever heard that from. The 4th episode of that series is one of the most brilliant hours of television EVER. The ending is so good, it still amazes me to this day.
Carnivale on the other hand had me right from the start. I just finished S1 last night.
As an aside, Management's voice is clearly a woman's (to me). It really bugs me that Management is supposed to be a male with that voice.
Funny thing is, the voice actually IS a woman. It's Linda Hunt, who was the short saloon-keeper in Silverado. Just a bit of trivia for you.
