Three seasons do not seem to be a short term for a TV show. Look at other shows like Firefly who didn't even get that much time on air. But as with some of the other shows, after this is over, you'll be wanting more. And it is obvious that there was more planned, but it is very doubtful if this ever sees the light of day (maybe in a comic book/graphic novel incarnation).
Having said all that, one of the greatest things about this show is its dialog. It is written wonderfully, unless you have an issue with swearing of course. And the way the characters express themselves is something to cherish. One of the most amazing screen characters is Mr. Al Swearengen (or Swengen or something similar as one other fellow calls him too). This might be a role of a lifetime for Ian McShane who is simply mesmerizing, whatever your feelings are towards the character.
The pacing might seem (and actually is) a bit slow for some, but if you stick around, you'll be treated. And it's not the ending most people would want, but as I stated earlier, there was more to come. So this Western, with a touch of Aristocracy peppered with a lot of swearing and some odd shooting here and there, is fine dish indeed
