August 13, 2007

If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing this show set in the ‘Old Wild West’ during the times of the gold rush in the 1870s, I whole-heartedly recommend it!
Deadwood is very gritty and dramatic, it’s also one you really need to pay attention to the video and audio of the show, because if you don’t:
