It’s a Western Drama Television Series, created, and almost entirely written by David Milch. It is set in the 1879s in Deadwood, South Dakota. First it’s only a camp with no law and order – everybody lives only for themselves. It starts of with Seth Bullock coming to Deadwood, quitting his old job as a Marshal in Montana and starting a hardware store with his partner Sol Star. He befriends with Wild Bill Hickok, the famous gunfighter and poker player, who dies, unfortunately, only a few episodes later.
Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) is a very good man, intersted in the life of other people. His appearance is always very powerful, I don’t think he blinks only once 
He has a close friendship with his partner, Sol Star and soon becomes the sheriff of Deadwood, which I really like, couldn’t imagine a better person in this camp.
Another main character is Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), who owns the Gem, a saloon and brothel. He is a very funny, self confident and brutal man, who plays a nice role, I’m always enjoying. My favourite quotes of the series are most of the time his sayings, filled with irony, amusement and scorn for others. Al is cunning, manipulative and initially appears to be the most cynically amoral of all the characters, showing no hesitation in resorting to violence and murder when it serves his business interests. Swearengen’s central goal is to retain his own business interests in Deadwood and keep the camp stable and secure in order to get the territory annexed by the United States. While his alliances are often pragmatic and self-serving, Swearengen does show great loyalty to allies such as Mr. Wu. He displays an almost paternalistic (though often abusive) affection for his three main henchmen, Dan Dority, Johnny Burns, and Silas Adams. I just love to see him, even though he has so many bad aspects and characteristics, he is always entertaining me.
Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert). My very favorite character I just love this woman, she is so adorable. Known for her hard drinking and swearing, Jane is truculent and abrasive upon first impression, but her character has a loopy humor and an upright moral center that grows on people in the camp. Hard on the outside, always drunk, swearing the whole time – but lovely and caring on the inside. She was one of Wild Bills friends. After Hickok’s murder, she sinks even deeper into severe depression and alcoholism. She almost brakes at the loss of her friend.
