Based on my opinion of the excellent series I wanted to rate this so much higher.
The performances are great, the production values high, dialogue and humour good and delivered well.
Unfortunately the plot, or what passes for a plot feels so contrived. Too much packed into 2 hours ruins the pace and impacts on the delivery. No subtlety, no flavour. It's not the Deadwood I remembered so fondly.
At the end I felt like I'd watched a Christmas Special of an average drama.
