10 Reasons You MUST Finally Watch Deadwood
5. Bullock's Hot Temper
Whilst there's an extensive cast of main characters, Deadwood's story is often told through the eyes of Seth Bullock. Having moved to the camp to open a hardware store, he seems like a level-headed and reasonable man with a strong judge of character and moral compass and it's this reputation that ultimately bags him the job as Sheriff.
But it quickly becomes apparent that he also has an extremely hot temper. Though not typically violent without reason, heated arguments often come to blows and in more extreme situations he displays a tendency to lose control entirely.
It's this flaw in Bullock's character that leads to some seriously intense confrontations as he attempts to maintain lawfulness in the Deadwood camp. His hot temper and unwillingness to back down from a fight often leads to some of Deadwood's most exciting moments.
