    9. DEADWOOD

    The foul-mouthed revisionist western made stars of Ian McShane (who wielded the word “cocksucker” like a samurai wields a katana) and Timothy Olyphant, and clocking at only three seasons and 36 episodes, it’s possible to gulp down the entire HBO run in a weekend. That is, if you ain’t some kinda lily-livered shitbird.
