Long considered to be one of the biggest examples of a show cancelled too soon, Deadwood cussed its way into HBO lore when it premiered in the spring of 2004.
Unfortunately, for one reason or another, the powers that be at HBO failed to receive that message and Deadwood was cancelled in 2006, and characters never got the closure they deserved.
Anyone who was around at the time will probably remember hearing all about the foul language from the show and its central cast, but the gritty western was so much more than that.
The show was eventually revived as a two-hour movie in 2019, but time didn’t heal all wounds, as star Timothy Olyphant was still not pleased when he said he still felt “a little ripped” off during a Rolling Stone interview prior to the film’s release.
