Hee Deadwood is very hit or miss - either you dig it at once or you don't. I do, but I totally get while you wouldn't. And Hell on Wheels is actually pretty good in itself, but in the pilot there were things that really seemed like 'hey let's try to re-do it', which just was good for making me check out. ;) But I already liked the second a lot more since they dropped most of it so I'm veeery optimistic. I won't go crazy over it at Deadwood level but I'm definitely sticking with it. :) I like everyone except Colm Meaney's guy, but it's because whoever writes his dialogue is trying too hard to make him be like the Deadwood sort-of-bad-guy. But since I like all the rest I can totally ignore that for now. ;)

... eeeh, I can't even blame anyone who does drop it by this point. I mean, I stuck with Lost until the end and when I dropped Heroes it was waaay worse than SPN is being now, but that episode I was talking about was... meh, I think that I'd rather go and watch that terrible Lost ep with Jacob's mom and the man in black for an entire week on a loop rather than go through that terribleness again. ;)
