Deadwood is intricately plotted and well-characterized. Many female characters, not all of whom are prostitutes. Sex and violence and notably filthy language, also (period-appropriate) racism and sexism and anti-semitism, I'm sorry to say. And since the show was cancelled and the showrunner was hoping for a movie or two later on to wind up the plotlines (that never happened), the third season sort of falls on its face in the final episode (after a phenomenal pair of episodes preceding it). Still worth watching, I felt, though it does horrible things to my accent whenever I watch the series again (since I already have a tendency to sound like half the characters on it anyway).
