The final complete season of HBO’s remarkable Deadwood series is full of surprises and devastating experiences as the nascent, dangerous town prepares to join Dakota territory in 1877. As in the previous two seasons, the question of who will control the town’s resources, assets, and people drives much of the drama, affecting all manner of relationships and alliances, often between the most unlikely people. The dominant storyline in Deadwood: The Complete Third Season concerns upcoming elections for mayor and sheriff of the mucky, gold-mining town. The real juice, however, is not so much between the individuals running for office as between two power brokers each trying to steer the results toward their own purposes. Saloon owner and Deadwood’s puppetmaster, Al Swearengen (Ian McShane sustaining his brilliant peformance in the previous two seasons), works closely with incumbent lawman Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) on retaining the latter’s seat. But Bullock himself has difficulty surrendering his penchant for taking unambiguous action and relying on few words, especially when he has to act like a politician and deal with people such as George Hearst (Gerald McRaney, playing the real-life father of William Randolph Hearst). Swearengen’s rival, Hearst–a self-made industrialist who gained his fortune through mining–has every intention of overtaking Deadwood, with his eye particularly on the lucrative mine owned by Bullock’s former lover, Alma (Molly Parker). (The violence Hearst employs to get to Alma’s claim will stun many Deadwood fans.)

Meanwhile, Bullock’s old friend, Sol Starr (John Hawkes), runs for mayor against the feckless E.B. Farnum (William Sanderson), and tries to navigate through his difficult relationship with Trixie (Paula Malcomson) as she grows enraged by former lover Swearengen’s manipulation of her and everyone else. Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) is encouraged to become a public speaker, telling of her misadventures with General George Custer, and she commences a lesbian relationship with Joanie (Kim Dickens), the saloon owner who is becoming increasingly despondent and suicidal. Bullock’s relationship with his wife, Martha (Anna Gunn) continues to deepen and become more of an influence on him, Wyatt Earp comes for a visit, and a newcomer to town, Jack Langrishe (Brian Cox), an old friend of Swearengen, attempts to open a theatre. As expected, the season finale concludes with the long-awaited election, but HBO’s decision to bring Deadwood to an end required creator David Milch to wrap everything up in a pair of two-hour movies. Still, The Complete Third Season is very satisfying on every level, and will always be, along with the rest of the series, a television landmark. –Tom Keogh

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A solid ending for a great mini series.
To bad the movies/fourth season didn’t make it. The producers once again misread the viewing public. Historical mishandling of George Hearst can be overlooked.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Series threee is the best ever!
If you liked series one and two, don’t miss this third series. It just get better and better!

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Frustrating build-up to absolutely nothing *SPOILER ALERT*
I was hooked on Deadwood from the start and in particular absolutely mesmerised by Ian McShane’s performance - acting at its absolute finest, perfect timing and pacing of his lines and expressions. Comedy, violence, anger and angst, all delivered in impeccable and perfect pitch - a complete masterclass in the art. And this from the same man who played Lovejoy!

The sets were superb, the supporting ensemble pretty good… but unfortunately, by Season 3, it seemed like things were starting … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Its the king of the genre
Nothing else comes close in realistic western drama — not at all the typical western horse opera. If you liked Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood’s dark western, you’ll love this series. It was criminal of HBO to cancel this series after only 3 seasons — it was the best thing they ever produced.
