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

Customer Reviews

Incredible!!!!!
I fell instantly in love with this series. Once you get past the cursing, you hear the incredible writting. The plot is a fast mover and I find that I can not get up and leave the room, or I will miss something. The characters are all intriquing, and I have many favorites. The writting is incredible, have I said that already, well it is worth mentioning again. I find myself writting the lines down and reviewing them after the show with my husband. The episodes are so full of information, wonderful lines, and engaging characters, that if you only watch them once, you will miss out on so much. I do not believe there is anything else out there that is anything close to the Deadwood series.

deadwoowd/3rd season
As usual with Deadwood,the third season DVD is excellent. If you've never had the golden opportunity to watch the series on HBO, you've missed the very ultimate in intelligent thought-provoking, sometimes hilarious television. The acting, writing, cinemotography are beyond compare with anything that's ever been done, or will ever be done on television. I was so upset with HBO when they so crassly pulled it early, that I cancelled my subscription with them

Dead Wood 3rd season
This is a good Western story, But has a lot of Swearing and some Nudity. I would not buy these DVD's if you get offended by hearing the F word every Five minutes.
