    The first season included some of the most realistic violence (Wild Bill's murder, Bullock's Near-Death Experience at the hands of the Sioux warrior)I've ever seen. This season, its last, seems to be approaching the same violent crescendo - only in an ever-so-tantalizing fashion. And I find myself cheering the derringer-toting whore onward through the hotel to her target....

    I am very disapointed the its going away, shame,shame,shame,shame. Al and Seth are two of the best charactors ever, in TV or film. I would go to see these people again at the theater, no doubt. i guess I will just have to go to bed early on sunday nights now.

    This is one of the best shows going.. Intelligent, thought provoking plots, subplots and storylines,wedded to enthralling characters (whether good or bad) keep this show fresh and forward moving..

    I cannot begin to say what i feel about this work of art,because so many superlatives have been whirled about,that anything I say would surely be redundant.Ian Mcshane and Earl Brown/the entire cast-blows my mind.It is the Shane of the 21st century and I am glad that I lived to see it.I am not old just lucky.

    Truly the most worthy hour spent watching Television. Spend the entire week waiting for the drama to commence. To those that find the program garish with it's use of speech? "Sweep on, you fat and greasy citizens,

    "Deadwood" has raised the bar on what can be achieved on television or film. A true highpoint in entertainment. David Milch has secured himself within the pantheon of writers such as David Mamet. Bravo!

    Deadwood brought an entire new level to excellence on TV. My husband and I looked forward to each episode as if we were high school kids waiting on the prom. It is a tragedy that Deadwood has been cancelled, our Sundays will never be the same...sigh!

    What a great show! I saw each episode (more than once) and enjoyed the nuances more each time I watched them. The writing was superb, the acting the best on tv....just a great show. I will miss it sorely.

    Brilliant. Whole dang show was. Dialogue was incredibly inventive and often hilarious, and there's a history lesson or ten in there, somewhere. Shame there won't be more seasons, nor two wrap-up films as originally promised.

    I miss Ian McShane's magnificent acting. This show featured one of the greatest television ensemble casts I can ever remember. Shame on HBO for cancelling this show, as well as the Televsion Academy for not bestowing McShane an Emmy for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series.

    Shame on HBO? If no one watches the series, they have no choice but to cancel it. They're in the business for the money; usually the better the show the more money they get. Shame on those who don't appreciate this show for its greatness. Otherwise it would still be running.

    I don't think I've ever said this about anything, much less a television program. Deadwood is truly art. I feel bad for those who can't see its magnificence, but for the rest of us, what a joy! Heng dai!

    Easily the most elaborate set ever put together, Deadwood shoves the softcore to the side and shows the bloodiness behind America's West.

    Not just one of the best television series of all time, but rather one of the best exercises in narrative form across all mediums.

    A more complex McCabe and Mrs Miller as Shakespeare might have written it. Perhaps the best TV ever, and one of the few series I could watch over and over: the acting of even minor players is revelatory, the scripts are stunning, the photography is striking and rarely gimmicky, the whole town is fully realised and populated.

    Deadwood is one of the best television dramas ever presented. The complexity of the characters and their language, which juxtaposes a nearly Shakespearean literacy against a raw obscene vernacular, reflect the historical conflicts of the 19th century West, where survival at all costs was pitched (and almost always won) against the desire for compassionate and civilized behavior associated Deadwood is one of the best television dramas ever presented.

    Best dramatic TV series - ever. As long as shows like Deadwood, the Sopranos, and Battlestar Galactica exist, owning a TV is justifiable.

    Deadwood will forever remain the most brilliantly written, acted, directed and beautifully filmed televsion program I've ever had the great fortune to come across. It's unbelievable that HBO is cancelling this wonderful series before it's rightful full fourth season conclusion.

    Like last season, the plots are thick and quick-flying. (Also like last season, the abstruseness can sometimes feel showy.)

    What makes Deadwood so fascinating is not the action we put up with; it’s the language we listen to.
