Is it like Black Sails where season 1 is a bit slow but it's worth sticking with?

Its not at all like Black Sails. Deadwood is more like a Shakespeare history play in an old west mining town with a lot of exposition and slow pace. Black Sails is more like an action adventure in comparison.

Interesting thanks, I’ll have a look into it.

I don't even like westerns and it's my favourite tv show

I'm gonna disagree with the other guy, it reminded me a lot of black sails. Deadwood definitely has better writing but there's a lot of similarity in the characters imo. Maybe it's just the time period and accents
