 The End Jul 21, 2010
Such a GREAT cast! The cast really makes this show what it is. The Third season does a good job on summing everything up, I would have liked for it to have been a little more intense at the end but what are you going to do, an end to a terrific show.

DEADWOOD Jul 13, 2010
IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO WATCH DEADWOOD. IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE. IT GAVE ME A EYE OPENING VIEW OF WHAT THE OLD WEST AND MINING TOWNS WERE LIKE. THE WRITNG SEEMED TO IN TUNE WITH THE PERIOD OF TIME. I LOVE THE CHARACTERS OF BULLOCK AND AL. THEY WERE NORTH AND SOUTH BUT CAME TOGETHER WHEN THE FUTURE OF THE CAMP WAS AT STAKE. SINCE WATCHING I HAVE RESEARCHED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT DEADWOOD.
Such a pity this was cancelled Jun 27, 2010
This last season ends with everything hanging in the balance: Hearst appears to be taking everything over, Bullock and Swearengen are allies and perhaps even friends. Meanwhile, all of the minor characters continue their crises on their own scale, from the doctor becoming a "lunger" to the murderous rages of Sy. The most amazing thing - that climax and resolution are not even contemplated - is explained only by the expectation that a next season was going to get even better. Well, so much for the best laid plans! We are left with the best ending there could possibly be: that things will continue like this, never finding any equilibrium to the struggle for power and dominance, with tradeoffs so unspeakably evil (e.g. the precondition for Trixie's survival) that they can never be justified, and the hope that the moral few will have their day, even though the elections are thrown.
The action and acting are as outstanding as ever, the surprises never stop coming. The only thing that leaves the viewer with is the hunger to learn more through history books and the many novels of the era. I suppose the series returned me to my childhood fascination with cowboys, but with the modern sensibility and cynicism that we have gained as adults in an AMerica that we can no longer claim innocent. I will watch this series again and again, I am sure, to savor its subtleties and complete the brief glimpses of character in my own imagination. That is artistic success at its highest, and I am astounded that it has made it to TV.
REcommended with the greatest enthusiasm. This, along with The Wire, is the best TV I have ever seen.

DVD was fine, but the shipping was a rip off! Mar 19, 2010
I purchased the complete third season of Deadwood, the Set was new as stated and I am happy with the product, I am however not happy with The shipping charges. I was eligible for free two day shipping if I spent over a certain amount, and I did. But they make you pay the full amount including shipping charges and then want you to go back after the fact and remove the shipping charge? it's very confusing, not user friendly And did not remove the shipping charge! It's like a bait and switch! I will not buy on AMAZON again.

Deadwood, a great series ! Mar 18, 2010
What can I say? If you're a fan of this type of movie, you will love Deadwood. Strong language, but we knew that and love it. Excellent recreation of an amazing time in history.
