Round of 32 (Old Shows): Lost vs. Deadwood

A show that starts like a modern Gilligan's Island but goes in strange directions versus what appears to be a typical Western but raised to Shakespearean heights, who will you pick?

 

It’s still team Locke

 

One day ill finish Deadwood

 

Still need to finish Deadwood but I feel confident picking Lost.

 

Deadwood easily

 

This vote really hurts since both should move forward and they each mean a lot to me. Lost has a longer history in my life, but Deadwood is flawless and beautiful and I can’t possibly vote to knock it out first round. I would be happy for it to end up facing The Sopranos as a final two given what we have.

 

Deadwood is poetry. Milch deserves to move on.

 

Lost will end up winning this in the end but it should be Deadwood

 

Deadwood. Watched it for the first time 6 months ago and I still think about it all the time. The cast is insane

 

Not to mention the movie

 

Lost is more important to me personally but man I love Deadwood too. Went with Lost.

 

I Never got into Lost, though I Did like GIlligans Island.

 

Deadwood and it’s not close

 

Both shows were such favourites of mine. But Deadwood is true art.

 

welcome to fuckin deadwood

 

Swearengen is one of the all-time great characters. He appears truly villainous, but as you get to know him you start to see his behavior as a very harsh paternalistic effort to protect the camp, which is obviously primarily selfish but ends up extending itself to his employees and even others in town. What other show has characters giving monologue that reveals their deepest fears and regrets while they are in the middle of receiving oral sex?
