Agreed . They wrapped it all up in a 1 hour 1/2 , with little cameos of some, and with neat tidy ending for characters with huge roles . It is just the fault of 1.5 hour is just not enough time, it needed a 2-episode movie at the least . plus dragging all the Cast back ten years later .
It was good, But It's a lot of shit to try cramming in a 1.5 hour ending . was fucking impossible to do the series a fitting job .with Trixie marries the jew and has baby, Hearst gets his ass beat, Jane and Joanie find there lost lesbian love, Bullock re explores the lost love with Alma Garret, Al formally admits his love for Trixie, Doc Cochran He should be dead because he was a TB Lunger coughing blood and soon to be dead. but 10 years latter he is 'miraculously' back in the movie . I found it pretty fitting with the the death of Swearenger in the end . It all started with Al as a main founder of Deadwood camp, and story ends big with his death, with Trixie still loving part of him by holding his hand in the end .
All this and some more, it was just a Character Dog-Pile
.
edit add:
Last week , after not seeing it for several years . I went back and did watch the whole Deadwood again . It is still a outstanding series .
