Customer Rating:      Summary: NOT the complete Deadwood Comment: HBO cheated its customers with this series. When viewing figures were not high enough for them it ended the series with what must be one of the most unsatisfying final episodes ever seen. There was talk of a separate feature film that would wrap up the series properly but it looks as if that won't happen. Personally I have given up watching a lot of TV series because you simply never know when the producers will pull the plug and leave the viewer in mid plot.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Outstanding Series with R-rated Dialogue Comment: "Deadwood: The Complete Series" is a 19-disc box set containing all 36 episodes from the four-season run of the cable drama set in 1876, just two weeks after the defeat of Custer at Little Big Horn. The Black Hills town of Deadwood is populated by illegal settlers, outlaws, prostitutes, gamblers, Chinese laborers, former soldiers, and the occasional family trying to survive. The show is notable for its excessive portrayal of violence and dialogue laced with colorful vulgarity, but it features some remarkable acting as well. Ian McShane as saloon owner Al Swearengen, Timothy Olyphant as former law enforcer Seth Bullock, and Keith Carradine as Wild Bill Hickok are standouts. Using the dramatic device of combining fictional characters with actual historical figures (Calamity Jane, Hickok) successfully and setting the stories in a specific time period makes the series far more intriguing than earlier TV westerns like "Bonanza" and "Gunsmoke," which seemed to exist exclusively on studio sets. Bonus extras include featurettes on the real Deadwood, a Q & A with the show's cast and creative team, a tour of the show's detailed sets, and an "Al Swearengen Audition Reel."
