Hearst and Swearengen spend all twelve episodes doing a dance to see who has the bigger brain AND balls. She suffers a personal trauma and ends up back on the laudanum, which threatens to destroy her new little family with Ellsworth (Jim Beaver). Al Swearengen (Ian McShane) pushes back, testing Hearst’s strength and finding Hearst to be fond of Al’s own rough torture methods.Īlma Ellsworth (Molly Parker) is pressured to sell her claim to Hearst, the only local one he doesn’t yet control, and he scares the shit out of her in a meeting. George Hearst (Gerald McRaney) is making moves to assert his dominance, including having someone killed in the Gem Saloon and killing his own miners.Ĭy Tolliver (Powers Boothe) spends the entire season begrudgingly kissing Hearst’s ass, on the promise of getting to manage all of his many juicy mining holdings and taking a cut. Warner Media and Paramount couldn’t come to an agreement over how the profits should be split, so they just gave up and didn’t engage the options in each actor’s contract for a fourth season.ĭeadwood Season 3 starts shortly after the second season ends. But I have a LOT of f*cking feelings about those failed minutes. Season three still has enough brilliant acting and engrossing subplots that it’s worth almost every minute.

This ‘ending’ would have been my greatest TV series disappointment of all time.

And if this was 2006 and I didn’t think I’d ever step foot into the Deadwood universe again (because no one knew there’s be a Deadwood movie 13 years later), I’d be gutted. Season three starts out with tons of action up front, which makes you think it will be the best season yet. Season one and season two expertly delivered a mid-season climax and a full-season build of action to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion. Now that I’ve seen Deadwood’s third season, I can say that I’d have been absolutely f*cking MISERABLE if I’d watched it when it first aired. “‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”, right? Why deprive yourself of something so insanely awesome? Lots of great shows have declined in later seasons, so it actually seems better to end too soon and leave everyone infatuated. I couldn’t get my brother to watch Deadwood, because he said he knew he’d love it and then be crushed that it was canceled* after three seasons. Released: 2006 Mood: If you love Deadwood and are finally emotionally ready to see how it all ends and you have the movie handy to watch right away afterward because the way it all ends sucks.
