Deadwood is the Apex of the western genre. It is absolutely the best series ever written, acted and directed. The character development is simply astonishing. Gritty, realistic, and true to life this series most likely will never be topped in many categories. Al Swearengen represents probably, the greatest character in TV series history. Ian McShane is simply magnificent in unraveling a complex character over the course of the series to be not what you think he is at the beginning to who he really is as a man. I've watched Deadwood 10 times and still enjoy every minute and unravel new things about the complexities of human nature each time I watch this magnificent series.
