take HBO's westworld, swap the robots for real people, swap the convoluted plot for a comprehensible one, add in some prospecting, some schemes, a bunch of people calling each other cocksuckers, and you've got deadwood.
It is 1876 and the richest gold strike in U.S. history draws a throng of restless misfits to an outlaw settlement in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Welcome to Deadwood--a hell of a place to make your fortune. Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane lead the cast in this drama series about the surly inhabitants in this dangerous frontier town.
betting.. whores.. small business.. drug addiction.. am i watching the deuce again? just kidding. little HBO humor there. did you know if you play craps correctly you can cut the house edge down to just 0.6%? something to think about next time you see dummies placing bets in the center of the table. anyway, this is one of the shows i had been meaning to watch for a while because i'd heard it referenced so many times. they have really unique slurs for people like 'squarehead' and 'celestial'. sorry if i'm not supposed to say those words.
