Deadwood - Season 2

[Now Experiencing] [TV]

I just watched the finale to the second season of Deadwood. It's good to see after a year of unremitting tragedy and misery that things ended on a thoroughly positive note (which is somehow inclusive of a hanging, a gutting, and a throat cutting in the final minutes of the episode).

That show has an amazing ensemble cast all round, though I have to wonder whether Timothy Olyphant (playing Sheriff Seth Bullock) has any more tools in his acting repertoire beyond "stoic" and "smouldering".

On a side note, for those who have both seen the show and also played either of the incarnations of Animal Crossing, does the character of Al Swearengen remind you at all of Tom Nook?
