Its scripts - always among the finest on TV - are even stronger this time around.

The language, the acting, the themes - everything in "Deadwood" is good as gold. In TV entertainment terms, maybe even better.

Milch's darkly hilarious exploration of the American frontier spirit is back for a third season of twisted human conniving.

This series is one of a kind.

To call "Deadwood" great television doesn't begin to do it justice.

Milch has a keen eye for his actors' untapped resources--he doesn't so much cast against physical types as he does psychological ones--and this is what makes Deadwood's expansive ensemble so continually exciting to watch.

The unheralded Olyphant is the star, and he's excellent. [21 Mar 2004, p.8]

The sheer amount of cussing is so great that even the unoffended may be too distracted by it to pay attention to anything else in Deadwood. That would be unfortunate, because lurking just behind the wall of profanity is a magnificent, fire-breathing work of art - an amazing meditation on violence, social order and the cruel reality of the Wild West. [21 Mar 2004, p.1]
