MEDIA - "Deadwood" HBO Series

I recently discovered HBO's "Deadwood" series (36 episodes) which is a VERY RAW look at 1870's South Dakota.

The series charts Deadwood's growth from camp to town, with many historical figures appear as characters on the show—such as Seth Bullock, Al Swearengen, Wild Bill Hickok, Sol Star, Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp, George Crook, E. B. Farnum, Charlie Utter, Jack McCall and George Hearst.

One lead actor is Timothy Olyphant (plays Seth Bullock) is also the lead in FX series "Justified."  Keith Carradine plays Wild Bill Hickok.

Like many HBO movies, the series is not for the squeamish and has adult content, but is OUTSTANDING.


(Not for the squeamish)

I have the full 36 episode DVD set.

HBO Deadwood home page where you can watch full episodes.
