DEADWOOD: THE MOVIE *+%*$**!!* The toughtalking cult series gets the movie treatment

When the acclaimed US western series was cancelled in 2006, fans were horrified. After three seasons, the story of the lawless mining town was unfinished, leaving fans frustrated that they would never find out what happened to such colourful characters as foul-mouthed saloon-owner Al Swearengen and local sheriff Seth Bullock. Thirteen years on, this movie sequel was released, going some way to tying up many of those loose ends. The story begins as the residents gather to commemorate Dakota’s statehood in 1889. Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, Molly Parker and Gerald McRaney star.

LOVE / HATE Gripping crime drama set in the capital

It’s a decade since John Boy, Nidge and company first hit our screens. And it’s easy to forget what a revelation this crime drama was when it made its debut. We weren’t used to crime stories with the production levels typically reserved for US or UK films beaming out from our televisions. A string of actors, including Tom

Vaughan-Lawlor, Ruth Negga and Robert Sheehan came to national prominence too. Well, you can now relive the rise of the Nidge through the ranks of the Dublin underworld. And all done with a terrifying charm. RTÉ Player, available now
