DEADWOOD

In the 1980s, people in Deadwood, South Dakota, aspired to get rich. Not many of them could, however. Timothy Olyphant plays Sheriff Seth Bullock while Ian McShane plays the vulgar Al Swearengen.

Even though Deadwood only lasted three seasons–totaling 36 episodes–it was still considered to be one of HBO’s best series, thanks to the storyline created by David Milch. The fantastic cast performances were also often credited for the show’s success. The show had a lot of fans, but HBO left them hanging when it was canceled.
