Deadwood and its sequel Deadwood: The Movie is still celebrated as peak Prestige TV, but there are aspects of each season that make it memorable. Deadwood is a Western series written by David Milch that aired on Max from 2004 until 2006 and focuses on the titular mining town after the Civil War and prior to being ratified into the state of South Dakota. A lawless place, it attracts settlers to the Black Hills by day and The Gem by night, where salacious saloon owner Al Swearengen watches over his domain as cowboys, thieves, prospectors, and prostitutes capitalize on the lack of organized law.
