But Deadwood is one of the best shows ever put to television, and I come here not to mourn its end, but celebrate its greatness. Alas, with an existing set and the cast of characters Deadwood had it was not a cheap show, and where The Wire was able to struggle against low ratings Deadwood fell because it never exceeded its modest but committed fanbase. He tries to intellectualize it, but struggles to come to grips with the euthanasia HBO performed. There is no sense of closure, there is no sense of a finished narrative - creator David Milch gets a twenty minute segment on the set to talk about the end of the show and expresses nothing but frustration about the show’s demise. One of the best shows ever to be on television, Deadwood ends unceremoniously. There’s a bitter pill to swallow in owning the Deadwood complete series on Blu-ray.
