My best friend Nicholas showed me Deadwood in 2006. I was hesitant because I never liked westerns, but holy shit did I fall in love with this show. We would drink whiskey every time they did, which led to a lot of needing to rewatch episodes on my part😂

Nicholas died in 2009. He never got to see the movie. It was really difficult for me when it came out, and I haven't been able to watch it since. I decided to watch it today, after finishing the series for, I don't know, the 10th-ish time? I love the show, but part of me watches it over and over to feel closer to my dead best friend.

I really struggled with the death in the movie, and the scene near the end with Bullock and Samuel Fields just destroyed me today.

I wish I could have shared that with him. I miss him so much still, and so I decided to post on Reddit about how meaningful and beautiful this show is, and how it's super special to me. That's all. Thanks for listening, people of Reddit.
