Deadwood Is Rocking!!!!

What a great show!

The third episode has gone by and the characters are just as profane and evil as ever!

Gerald McRaney's George Hearst is a perfect match for Ian McShane's Al Swearengen. It would seem that the race is on to see who is more evil. The plots turn and twist and take time to digest.

Powers Boothe's Cy Tolliver is devious and has flittered around the edges and his motivations are unclear at this point and yet he seems a cat ready to pounce into his storyline with wild abandon.

Brad Dourif's Doc Cochran steals near every scene with his compassionate yet rough bedside manner. His character provides the soul and depth in a bloody camp that lacks such.

So far the main characters from the previous two seasons, Seth Bullock and Sol Star have taken a bit of a backseat to the drama and tension between Swearengen and Hearst.

This has been rumored to be the last season of Deadwood and if it should leave cable then there will be a huge niche to be filled for those of us who enjoy an adult themed western.
