Deadwood - The Complete Third Season

Deadwood--The Complete Third Season is as good as seasons one and two. The only fly in the ointment is that there will be no fourth season.

For some reason the BEST shows on TV don't stay on long enough, some examples are Thirtysomething, Twin Peaks, and of course Deadwood. Wow, what a series, I always looked forward to what Al was up to, as well as Bullock (Montana) and then in this final season the dirty rotten scoundrel Hearst and the Pinkertons. Yes, it was a great final season, just wish Deadwood did not end so soon...rey

The third (and final) season was clearly dissapointing. In twelve episodes the plot doesn't move forward to any significant degree.

I won't go into details about various silliness that occurs. Bullock as the most one note character in television history. The Joanie/Jane relationship. The pointless acting troup (that does no acting). Hearst wandering around with impunity (by himself) for much of the season (unrealistic) and proceeding to open a door to a knocking stranger just hours after getting shot doing the same thing.

Frankly, I kept waiting for something to happen and the final episode finished with, what amounts to, no progress in the story-line.

Seasons 1/2 were gripping and well done. Deadwood could only have lost viewers as the language became sillier, the characters plotted like a bunch of high school kids and nothing of any importance happened.

Sad to see Rome and Deadwood both go downhill after such wonderful starts.

All three seasons have been great, and the quality of our DVD'd are excellent. We particularly like the historic extras.

This seasons meets the bar set by the first two, but fails to leave the veiwer with any type of closure at the end. Season 3 definitely makes you want to see the 1st episode of Season 4.
