Meanwhile, the town itself is at risk of being destroyed, as Hearst's plans for expansion threaten to decimate the natural beauty that makes Deadwood unique.
The film is a poignant, bittersweet look at the passage of time and the toll it takes on even the most resilient of people. It's also a fitting end to a beloved series, one that honors the legacy of the show while providing fans with a satisfying conclusion to the various storylines.
