This collection includes all 12 episodes from the first season of the HBO western series Deadwood, created by David Milch and set in 1876 South Dakota. The story largely centers around new Deadwood resident and hardware shop owner Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) and Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), the foul-mothed owner of local sallon and brothel The Gem. Deadwood mixes characters who prominently figure into American history, including Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine) and Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert), with fictionalized amalgamations of other figures from the time, such as Alma Garret (Molly Parker) and Doc Cochran (Brad Dourif).
