Love, love, love the gold rush era and Deadwood is spot on. The characters play there parts with passion. The story line keeps you glued and always guessing. Deadwood is perfectly honest about how the people did business...shady, dirty, immoral. It's painfully real but fascinating.

I have been enjoying this program a great deal. I don't appreciate all the rough language, but other than that, the authenticity of the time is great and the story line has been done very well. I am getting season 3.

Watched all three seasons. Why cancel something so popular, did not make anyone happy. Took you back on epic journey in time. So real and funny at times. Great watch.
