Deadwood works well for learners who already understand English comfortably and want more challenging listening practice. Following the story requires attention, so language difficulty is not the only challenge here. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. With the dialogue moving at a natural rhythm, viewers should catch most of it, although a few moments may still be challenging. For learners around C1/C2, this can be a practical choice for building confidence with more complex narratives.
