Give this one a Pulitzer
Deadwood, HBO's laureled old West drama about a Dakota town's schemings and general moral lassitude, is known for its extravagant and stunning profanity. Salon's Heather Havrilesky provides a context for the show's just-begun third season, weighs in on the prospect of a fourth (currently not in the works), and fulminates against some of TV's other current offerings:
"The most foul and inexcusable of the lot is "The Hills" (MTV, check listings) populated as it is by the whoring sea donkeys of "Laguna Beach" fame. Whatever limited charms "Laguna Beach" may have held for those easily distracted by the wiles and worries of winsome whippersnappers up to their collarbones in gold, the sorts with soft hands and weak minds who've never worked a day in their lives and likely never will, suffice it to say that "The Hills" has none of those charms whatsoever."
More inside. Television criticism should always be this good. It's language at its most alive. Be sure and read it aloud.
