Synopsis

TV Series (2004-2006). 3 Seasons. 36 Episodes. In an age of plunder and greed, the richest gold strike in American History draws a throng of restless misfits to an outlaw settlement where everything — and everyone — has a price. Welcome to Deadwood...a hell of a place to make your fortune. Deadwood focuses on the birth of an American frontier town and the ruthless power struggle that exists in its lawless boundaries.

The story begins two weeks after Custer's defeat at Little Big Horn, combining fictional and real-life characters and events in an epic morality tale. Located in the Black Hills Indian Cession, the "town" of Deadwood is an illegal settlement, a violent and uncivilized outpost that attracts a colorful array of characters looking to get rich — from outlaws and entrepreneurs to ex-soldiers and racketeers, Chinese laborers, prostitutes, city dudes and gunfighters.

Critics' reviews

"This series is one of a kind"

Tim Goodman: SFgate
"For all the artificiality of the language, there has seldom been a show that felt more authentic"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"The circuitous plot is challenging, but the true glory of 'Deadwood' is in its vivid creation of a volatile world where scoundrels, wretches and tormented heroes coexist in an unvarnished time capsule of Wild West history"

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"The show has taken its sweet, foul-mouthed time in getting up to speed, but, if Milch's scholarship can be trusted, we are being treated to a remarkably frank picture of life on the jagged edge of the West"

LA Weekly
"'Deadwood' is a funny show alright, but that's because, in the unflagging brilliance of its execution, it fulfills its ambition"

Slate
"Easily the best thing to hit HBO since 'Six Feet Under'"

Salon
"''Deadwood' creates a vivid assortment of personalities (...) [It] gains complexity through the first handful of episodes"
