We return again during the second season, where Francis Walcott, the scout head of a powerful mining process, has come to plan for a change in the status quo. On the other hand, the new partner revealed to Johnny, Madi, that she runs a new and different game, as the new brothel, Shi Mom, offers his first client.
We take from our art what we most long for, I think, and the final passages of Deadwood's second season present a place not where happiness is possible but where happiness is won after struggle.
This richly textured, extraordinarily acted show is a classic in the making, compelling even to those who might not necessarily be fans of the western genre.
