Detailed
item info Movie description | HBO delivers another stunning, evocative
drama in DEADWOOD. The 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 town of Deadwood is located in the Black Hills Indian Cession, and
is populated largely by illegal settlers and miscreants looking to make
quick buck. Among them are Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), who owns the
local saloon; Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant), former law enforcer;
and the infamous Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine). Some awesome acting
combines with intricate storylines, absorbing direction, and impressive
sets to make DEADWOOD another essential series from the HBO stable.
This collection presents all three seasons of the show.
