Deadwood: Sold Under Sin (2004)
Season 1, Episode 12
10/10
Had me swell with emotion and tears
16 August 2020
I've watched Deadwood right through multiple times over the years, from the first time I saw it back in 2004. I'm re-watching the series again right now, as I just put on the first episode again the other day to get a taste of it with it's poignantly breathtaking opening, and from that opening scene with Calamity Jane, Wild Bill and the wagon train descending into Deadwood, I once again couldn't stop watching, as it's just seamless and unstoppable in its perfect narrative, cinematic and directorial flow.

I've just now reached that final episode of Season 1. My eyes were watering throughout, I had goosebumps, my heart was enthralled at that crichendo emotional moment between Bullock and Mrs. Garrett, and by the end of the episode my watering eyes simultaneously dropped their tears.

Of all the TV series and episodes I've seen over years, this finale of Deadwood Season 1 is one of, if not THE, most poignant and brilliant finale, or even episode period, in memory.
