I just started watching it because it popped up on my 'recommended Prime' queue.

Man...I'm just not a Timothy Olyphant guy. I've had friends swear that I need to watch Justified and I just couldn't get past Olyphant.

And I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to stick with Deadwood either. It just seems like he's overacting even when he's trying to be understated. I can't really tell you what it is about him that I don't like, but I tend to think actors work best when you forget they're acting. And for whatever reason, Olyphant ALWAYS looks like he's acting to me.

And frankly, Keith Carradine is kinda the same way for me. Now knowing a bit about the history here, I suspect that won't be a problem for too terribly long. But Carradine essentially playing David Carradine's Kung Fu part as Bill Hickok is just grating.

I'm mostly just gonna stick around to see if it becomes the "Ian McShane Saying Awful Things and Sounding Awesome While Doing It Happy Funtime Hour". If so, I'll stick around.

But Olyphant just isn't my thing, man. It's possible that I'll just always remember him being friggen TERRIBLE in Gone in 60 Seconds and that's what sticks with me. In a movie absolutely loaded with awful performances, he stands out. When Delroy Lindo and peak Hammy Cage can't even make you look good, then you really suck.
