The first episode of 'Deadwood'.Most of it's purpose was to introduce the characters.The episode begins with a man being executed by Sheriff Seth Bullock and his partner Sol Star before they depart to this new town called 'Deadwood', where there is no law.Also new in town, a well-known man called Wild Bill Hickok. He immediately makes many friends and foes.Bullock and Hickok get to know each other after being informed that there had been an entire family killed. Once they get there, Bullock finds the youngest member of the family to be still alive. The killer turned out to be the informer, and Seth and Bill gun him down.Also in Deadwood, we meet Al Swearengen, who runs a gem saloon. He and his henchmen try to con this wealthy man called Brom Garret into buying a gold claim.The Pilot episode works very well as the introduction of the series. The costume design and sets are realistic and the performances are memorable.Although nothing truly stands out, it was a well-written and produced Pilot episode that introduced the show quite nicely.
