Please note this is a region B Blu-ray & will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play Season One The remarkable first season of Deadwood represents one of those periodic wholesale reinventions of the Western that is as different from say Lonesome Dove as that miniseries is from Howard Hawks&s Rio Bravo or the latter is from Anthony Mann&s The Naked Spur In many ways Deadwood embraces the Western&s unambiguous morality during the cinema&s silent era through the 1930s while also blazing trails through a post-NYPD Blue post-The West Wing television age exalting dense & customized dialogue On top of that Deadwood has managed an original look & texture for a familiar genre gritty chaotic & surging with both dark & hopeful energy Yet the show&s creator erstwhile NYPD Blue head writer David Milch never ridicules or condescends to his more grasping futile characters or overstates the virtues of his heroic ones Set in an ungoverned stretch of South Dakota soon after the 1876 Custer massacre Deadwood concerns a lawless evolving town attracting fortune-seekers drifters tyrants & burned-out adventurers searching for a card game & a place to die Others particularly women trapped in prostitution sundry do-gooders & hangers-on have nowhere else to go Into this pool of aspiration & nightmare arrive former Montana lawman Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) & his friend Sol Starr (John Hawkes) determined to open a lucrative hardware business Over time their paths cross with a weary but still formidable Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine) & his doting companion the coarse angel Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert); an aristocratic drug-addicted widow (Molly Parker) trying to salvage a gold mining claim; & a despondent hooker (Paula Malcomson) who cares briefly for an orphaned girl Casting a giant shadow over all is a blood-soaked king Gem Saloon owner Al Swearengen (Ian Mc Shane) possibly the best most complex & mesmerizing villain seen on TV in years Over 12 episodes each of these characters & many others will forge alliances & feuds cope with disasters (such as smallpox) & move--almost invisibly but inexorably--toward some semblance of order & common cause Making it all worthwhile is Milch&s masterful dialogue--often profane sometimes courtly & civilized never perfunctory--and the brilliant acting of the aforementioned performers plus Brad Dourif Leon Rippy Powers Boothe & Kim Dickens --Tom Keogh Season Two Deadwood The Complete Second Season continues the Shakespearean brilliance of the landmark first season created by NYPD Blue head writer David Milch Milch either wrote or supervised the writing of each of the 12 episodes in this stunning follow-up which contains more than a few surprises for anyone who thought they knew the myriad characters in the late 19th century town of Deadwood--a mucky ungoverned exceptionally violent development in South Dakota As with the first season Deadwood continues to be about many things--survival loyalty alliances duty--but all of them are happening against a titanic battle between several parties to consolidate power & real wealth in the territory Despite his cutthroat ethics astonishing profanity & bursts of cruelty it&s hard not to side in this bid for a piece of America&s future with saloon owner Al Swearengen (a magnificent performance by Ian Mc Shane) a visionary monster who is nevertheless more recognisably human than his rivals Entering an uneasy partnership with Al is Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) Seth begins the second season by teaching Al a few lessons in chivalry & their brief but bloody feud commences physical ailments for Al that become increasingly shocking to behold Yet Al&s difficulties have the practical effect of sidelining him for a couple of episodes while the story sets up more complex power struggles Al takes on Deadwood&s other saloon-brothel owner the unstable Cy Tolliver (Powers Boothe) as well as an off-screen millionaire who is intent on owning all the gold-mining interests by buying out weary prospectors& claims Meanwhile Seth&s wife & son (actually his late brother&s widow & child) arrive an unsettling development for Seth&s lover the widow Alma Garret (Molly Parker) who soon reveals herself to be a more complicated person than in the first season The prostitute Trixie (Paula Malcomson) begins thinking about her future & asserts independence from Al by having sex with Seth&s friend Sol Star (John Hawkes) Best of all Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) is back & more endearingly uncivilized than ever Special features include actor commentaries on select episodes the best of which finds Olyphant & Mc Shane cracking each other up while watching the season premiere --Tom Keogh Season Three The final complete season of HBO&s remarkable Deadwood series is full of surprises & 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 & people drives much of the drama affecting all manner of relationships & alliances often between the most unlikely people The dominant storyline in Deadwood Season 3 concerns upcoming elections for mayor & 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 & Deadwood&s puppetmaster Al Swearengen (Ian Mc Shane 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 & relying on few words especially when he has to act like a politician & deal with people such as George Hearst (Gerald Mc Raney 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 EB Farnum (William Sanderson) & tries to navigate through his difficult relationship with Trixie (Paula Malcomson) as she grows enraged by former lover Swearengen&s manipulation of her & everyone else Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) is encouraged to become a public speaker telling of her misadventures with General George Custer & she commences a lesbian relationship with Joanie (Kim Dickens) the saloon owner who is becoming increasingly despondent & suicidal Bullock&s relationship with his wife Martha (Anna Gunn) continues to deepen & become more of an influence on him Wyatt Earp comes for a visit & 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 & will always be along with the rest of the series a television landmark --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title Age Rating 18 ...
