Deadwood is so good I thought I'd take a look through Milch's back catalogue, I wish I hadn't. I'd suggest fans of Deadwood in particular not watch JFC. To see talented actors miscast and having to wade through the dross Milch has written here is tragic. Many of the actors cast in JFC played much loved and memorable characters in Deadwood to see them in something so slapdash is jarring. The young leads acting is disastrous. The plot, if there is one, is dire so too is the dialogue. I never thought to see the day when Milch screwed the pooch on dialogue. Don't waste your time on this.
