But the ultimate sense that one must take away from Deadwood is that there are creators, writers and actors who do actually consider intellectual and emotional meaning - not to be confused with form and presentation - a valuable and enriching raison d'etre for storytelling.Īdmittedly, while I may come across as indulging my own Milch-like impulse to confuse with labyrinthine logic (not to mention rigidly articulate language), what I mean is that watching these episodes again reveals a complexity and depth that other shows simply do not possess. Indeed, trying to condense the intellectual and emotional depths of a show as complicated as this one is at best a Sisyphean task: "Oh, so that guy killed that guy, but what does that mean for this girl," et cetera. Like most TV shows, by Season Three you're either with the characters and stories or you aren't, so I won't bother offering a recap of the series to date.
