The various characters and their stories paint the picture of Deadwood as a crossroads between the violence and lawlessness of the Wild West and the civility of a settlement that's just one cog in a larger, more strictly governed society.

And, yes, there is a plot — revolving around a disputed gold claim, as all plots on Deadwood inevitably must — but if you've never watched this show before, you might wonder what all the fuss is about before it kicks in.

|
|
An appropriate solution, I think; after all, not only has gambling (legal or otherwise) been a part of Deadwood since the town's beginning, but the very thing that brought settlers here in the 1800s — gold mining — was, itself, as great a gamble as any card game.
|
|

|
|
When people talk about "revisionist" Westerns (Unforgiven, Deadwood, The Hateful Eight), they're talking about narratives that topple the finely wrought myths that had previously sustained the genre: the pure, clarifying effect of the American frontier, of course, but also the valorized place of whiteness and masculinity within it.
|
|
Snapshot Countless words have been spilled on the subject of Timothy Olyphant and the Stare: that faint narrowing of those fathomless eyes, shorthand that one of his gunslinging lawmen — say, Raylan Givens of "Justified" or Seth Bullock of "Deadwood" — is about to blow a bad guy to smithereens.
|
|
While the show is often slotted alongside The Wire and Deadwood and many other series as part of the Golden Age of Television, it was very different from those two HBO examples (and from The Sopranos) for the way it eventually filtered every single story through its protagonist.
|
|

Deadwood, built on land stolen from the Lakota Sioux, had attracted exiles, fugitives, optimists, gamblers with nothing to lose, bloody-minded opportunists, cynics, and seekers who had come to try their luck, or to escape bad luck, in terrain that lay largely beyond the reach of the law.
|
|
Veronica Mars got its own (partly fan-funded) movie, HBO finally made the Deadwood wrap-up movie, and this month, Netflix is continuing the Breaking Bad story where the AMC TV series left off, with Aaron Paul returning as meth dealer Jesse Pinkman in the original movie El Camino.

|
|
But the actress is well-known to TV fans for other roles as well — in particular her part as madam Joanie Stubbs on David Milch's beautiful, brilliant HBO Western Deadwood, which ran from 2004 to 2006 and was taken from us too soon, at the end of its third season.
|
|
Throughout its three-season run, Deadwood tackled all of the ideas that lay at the center of our society, from the way that we all agree that money will represent value (when there's no real reason it has to) to how even the worst among us might become better people and citizens.
|
|
Suddenly we have twice the amount of labor to plough through the endless fields of golden TV. If we're at a dinner party and someone asks me what I thought of [Deep Space Nine/Deadwood/Downton Abbey], and I haven't seen it, there will be more of a chance that you have.
|
|
Along with her work on The Deuce, Rodis is already overseeing the sets of Crashing, the upcoming Damon Lindelof-helmed Watchmen series and Deadwood (the movie); she is training other intimacy coordinators to work on Jett, about a female ex-con, and Euphoria, a coming-of-age series about high school kids.
|
|
After watching hard-boiled antiheroes power 21st century television — see: Don Draper (Jon Hamm), Walter White (2019 Emmy opener Bryan Cranston), every man in Deadwood, and every man on Game of Thrones — it has been refreshing to see women characters shed the restraints of the Likable Woman trope and entertain their darkest impulses.
|
|
There are other ways I could defend Deadwood as my favorite TV drama of all time — from the glorious filmmaking that weaves its dozens of characters into one giant tapestry, to just how funny it can be — but hopefully, I've given you just enough of a taste to convince you to explore the show yourself.
|
|
The festivities, however, bring back two personalities that threaten to unsettle things, in different ways: Alma Garret (Molly Parker), the steely heiress with whom Bullock exchanged smoldering looks, and then more; and robber baron George Hearst (Gerald McRaney), whose ascent into Congress as a senator from California hasn't quelled his appetite to use Deadwood to further enhance his fortune.
|
|
In the 13 years that have elapsed since Deadwood ended, series creator Milch, one of the greatest TV writers to ever have lived, has landed two TV series on the air that were both canceled after one season (John From Cincinnati and Luck), had several pilots passed on by HBO, and been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

|
|
But the history of Deadwood is spread all around in Mount Moriah's picturesque verdant slopes: In the Chinese section, which contains few markers (most Chinese sent their dead back to the old country for burial) but does have a ceremonial burner (for religious ceremonies) that has been recently restored, and in the Jewish section, Mount Zion (a.k.a.
|
|
So when Dickens and her Fear the Walking Dead co-stars Colman Domingo and Frank Dillane joined me on the latest episode of my podcast, I Think You're Interesting, I had to ask her about the persistent rumors that Milch has written a script for a reunion movie that he and the Deadwood cast all hope HBO will make.
|
|
For further tales of working on Deadwood; discussion of a big, big moment in Fear the Walking Dead's season three premiere; and a whole bunch of great stories from Dickens, Domingo, and Dillane about shooting Fear the Walking Dead — which happens to be the only major American TV series shot on location in Mexico — listen to the full episode.
|
|
A few characters are missing, whether because they died on the series, which aired from 2004 to 2006; because the actor who plays them was tied up in another gig (Titus Welliver's Silas Adams is absent due to a conflict with his role as the title character on Bosch); or because the actor who played them died after Deadwood left the air.

|
On its floor are file boxes of source material for the memoir, including lecture transcripts, writers'-room transcripts of every series that Milch has worked on starting with "Deadwood," recordings of interviews that he's given, poetry and essays that he wrote in college—everything that hasn't already been shipped to Yale, where his papers will reside, at the Beinecke Library.

|
There are more walking dead on the horizon, including The Magic School Bus, Baywatch, Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (possibly), Twin Peaks, Deadwood, The Gilmore Girls, Xena: Warrior Princess, and the recently announced MAD TV.
