Movie Description
HBO delivers another stunning, evocative drama in DEADWOOD. The channel has an impressive reputation when it comes to producing edge-of-your-seat television (THE SOPRANOS, SIX FEET UNDER), and DEADWOOD follows neatly in that tradition. Set in 1876, the story unfolds just two weeks after the defeat of Custer at Little Big Horn. The grim and unsentimental series revolves around the outlaws, miscreants, and murderers in the frontier gold-rush town of Deadwood in the Dakota Territory. Seth Bullock, a former Montana sheriff, and his buddy Sol Star arrive in town to set up a hardware store; soon, they're crossing paths with such legendary Western figures as Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Reaping the benefits of the lawless, merciless world is Al Swearengen, the saloon and brothel owner. The third and final season of the show is included here.
Industry Reviews
5 stars out of 5 -- "[M]agnificent....For once, the over-used adjective 'Shakespearean' is justified..."
Uncut - Damien Love (10/01/2007)
5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] fantasy more alive than reality ever could be. At its sharpest edge the series cut into satire."
Empire - Ian Nathan (09/01/2007)
