>>Hello, Otto.
>>
>>If you have a chance to see the pay-TV broadcasts of Deadwood, I would urge 
>>you to do so. In spite of its obvious debt to Oakley Hall, there's a great 
>>deal that sets the series apart from any other work of fiction about the 
>>American West. Part of that, as noted here earlier, is the richness and 
>>emotional vulnerability of the characters. A very big part of it is the 
>>gorgeous, almost Shakespearian language of the dialogue, liberally seasoned 
>>(sometimes to the point of farce) with expletives. it would be interesting 
>>to see how that works in German. Is the German version to be subtitled, or 
>>dubbed?
