You should arrange for this co-worker to accidentally fall into misfortune. Seriously, fuck that guy.

I binge-rewatched all three seasons and then the movie again. While I stated above that you don't need to rewatch and that holds true, its even that much better having all the events fresh in my mind. Overall, the show is just so fucking good and such a great palate cleanser after the last season and finale of GoT. Shame the manner in which it ended and proof about how hard it is make great art in the modern world (it really can be lightning in a bottle) but this show is one of the all time classics.

I just finished the movie after spending the past three weeks re-watching the whole series. The last twenty minutes or so of the movie had me choking up.
My wife didn’t like that the movie didn’t have much plot to speak of, but I told her they consolidated an entire seasons worth of story into an hour and a half and gave all of us fans a chance to have a proper send off for all the characters we grew to love.
Thinking back on it, I wish I had rewatched the series before watching the movie. It was missing a lot of impact because I was going by 3-4 year old memories of the characters.

You should remind her that the show didn't have much of a plot either. It's always been a character driven show.

Deadwood movie. Chernobyl mini series. And the fuckers give us the garbage that was the final season of GOT. Cocksuckers!

As fanservice goes, this was very good. We got awesome dialogues, cast and production (minus the CGI train). But most of all, we got closure. It also reminded us Deadwood was so far ahead of its time 15 years ago during the HBO golden age. Character driven story, top notch writing, stellar actors and no compromises about socials or politics.

I reslammed the series before watching this. It was a good fan service, the only thing that irked me was the final suspenseful moment of: (spoiler i guess?)
Other than that I enjoyed it - really showed me with some people at least that god damn, 10 years is a long fucking time...them bitches got old.
Hearst all trying to stop the wedding and arrest Trixie with 2 out-of-jurisdiction officers and getting shut down so easily by Bullock? It just seemed like an amateur move that Hearst's character should have known would fail terribly, based on how not-an-idiot they seemed to have him in Season 3. Like did he not know Bullock was a Warden that would pull rank? Ehhh

Just finished up Season 3 and watched the movie. Goddamn, what a shame this show got cancelled. Shit was a goddamn masterpiece and the dialogue was some of the best of anything I've ever watched. Glad they ended up making some closure on the plot lines.

I think part of the movie was the fact that the old west was dying. Times marched forward. The robber baron didn’t wield the power he thought he did, or he used to.
al was the old west. And his arc with illness and weaknesswhile trying to maintain a grip was prevalent.

Watched the series for the first time over the course of the last few weeks, and just now finished the movie. The series was great, but the movie felt sorta empty to me...like it just hit the plot points needed for closure without actually having any of the awesome Deadwood dialogue that I loved in the series. There were still a LOT of dangling plot threads, which I know is going to happen with just two hours to give, but still then -- why devote so much screen time to the new whore????
Most notably, what ever happened to Cy? Missed it if they ever said.
Went into the whole thing because I hate series that don't have endings, so I wasn't tempted til after the movie got good reviews. I'm still glad I watched, since the series was pretty great, but color me disappointed by the series.
