When did Deadwood jump the shark? 🦈

Season 3, Episode 1

The third season of Deadwood marked a noticeable decline due to several factors, including the introduction of new characters that didn't resonate well with the audience and plotlines that felt less focused compared to the tightly woven narratives of the first two seasons. The pace slowed down considerably, and some story arcs seemed to drag on without clear direction. This shift was especially evident starting from the first episode of the third season, where the show struggled to maintain its previous momentum.
