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

Rating: - 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.

Rating: - I never wanted it to end. . .
I really didn't want to reach the last episode of this, the third season. I didn't get to watch it when it originally aired and was heartbroken to hear of its early demise. I was able to get this season at a great price. I enjoyed the commentary but would have liked a few more extras. I love Deadwood!

I ordered the Third Season of Deadwood from Amazon.com to be sent to another state. The video was delivered in a few days and in excellent condition and a great price! It is always a pleasure shopping on Amazon.com. I highly recommend them!

Rating: - Classic art through a dirty screen
This may be the best entertainment value since Lonesome Dove. From casting to script and all parts between it is very well done. Prepare yourself to look past the profanity and enjoy some of the richest dialog to come to TV or movies. The previous two seasons are equally good. The whole story develops very well.

Excellent! It's amazing how real this series is. It pulls you in and you feel you've been transported back in time. You feel like "a fly on the wall" in the lives of these people.
