Deadwood
A hell of a place to make your fortune
Created by David Milch
On HBO
A dense, profane historical drama about the collision of lawlessness and civilization in a gold-rush town, built on linguistic precision and the interior lives of morally compromised men.
The story of the early days of Deadwood, South Dakota; woven around actual historic events with most of the main characters based on real people. Deadwood starts as a gold mining camp and gradually turns from a lawless wild-west community into an organized wild-west civilized town. The story focuses on the real-life characters Seth Bullock and Al Swearengen.
