DVD Reviews of Deadwood - The Complete Third SeasonDVD Review: Deadwood - Quite a Place Summary: 4 StarsI really enjoyed this series. Don't know how closely this relates to actual history, but none the less, I found it very good and interesting. It takes you back to a time and place when life was really rough and tough. Be warned, it includes a lot of violence, sexual situations and crude language.
DVD Review: If only there was another season... Summary: 5 StarsDeadwood still ranks as one of the most outstanding TV series to date. What a ride!
DVD Review: Deadwood Series III DVD Summary: 2 StarsDisappointed with the delivery. The package inside flap had a sheet removed from the flap and the only way I would have known was the clue was still there. Also the tab that held the 5th DVD was broken and the DVD was just flopping in the jacket. I had no problems with the others two series. Too bad.
DVD Review: DEADWOOD was/is the BEST Summary: 5 StarsIts just a damn shame that a)HBO never announced a DAMN thing about season 3 being final. Think about it- Sopranos, or Sex & the City, or ROME- it was a big to-do about the final season, the "Grand Finale", as it was. When it came to DEADWOOD, we got nothing. I kept waiting for promos, or at least a statement from HBO about the series. We got NOTHING!. It's not even available on the "On Demand" channel, like EVERY other HBO series is. B) Ian McShane should have earned an award for his brilliant portrayal of Al Swearengen. Hands down, it is some of the best acting I have ever seen, comparable to Al Pacino in "The Godfather". The rest of the cast should have been under the same consideration. The script writers, set designers, the costume crew etc, and oh yeah David Milch should have gotten much more credit for their effort into the best show that was ever on HBO. In closing, this is coming from a tried and true Jersey boy who loved the Sopranos, but I gotta say, that show went on two seasons too long...I recommend the "Deadwood" series to anyone who appreciates great acting, true drama, and a vivid portrayal of how American history may very well have taken place in the late 1800's...Highly recommended.
DVD Review: Deadwood 3rd Season Summary: 5 StarsI love the series of Deadwood. Very entertaining and it gives me ideas where to travel inside the USA. Makes History a lot of fun..

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
