I stuck with this maddening show through the whole season. At the end, I'm mostly just disappointed that we were deprived of seeing Deadwood completed properly (with a fourth season) for this aimless show.
The genius of Deadwood was that it confined Milch's creativity to a historical period and historical characters. "John" was Milch run amok, and was in my opinion inferior for it.
While the show had moments of brilliance (the end of episode 2 comes to mind) the characters just had too little to do. We'll never know now what Milch was setting up.
