It deserved better and now Deadwood: The Movie is a bold attempt to right that wrong, 13 years after its cancellation. While it isn’t quite Deadwood at its jaw-dropping best – few things in TV history are – there is enough of the old magic left to deliver a satisfying ending. We find Deadwood well on its way to gentrification, a far cry from the rough-as-guts encampment that greeted us in 2004, caked in shit and blood. There was no stampede to make the next Deadwood the way there was for The X-Files, The Office or Lost. Deadwood: The Movie airs on HBO in the US on 31 May, and on Sky Atlantic in the UK on 1 June.
