The historical drama of David Milcho takes us to the rural district of South Dakota, in 1870.Although the series consists of only three seasons, he managed to show how a small camp of gold miners called "Deadwood" is gradually turning into a city. And all this in the harsh realities of the Wild West, when the murders were just as routine as, say, drinking in the saloon. Although the case occurs at the end of the 19th century, Milch did not include obscene language in the TV series;instead, the heroes say "Curse!" and "come along you!".
In "Deadwood" you will not find washed and sleek handsome men, depicting noble cowboys and no less noble Indians. This series is for those who want to see without embellishment, as there was a country that is now called the United States of America. Unsanitary conditions and diseases, death and blood, brothels and gold rush, and all this is flavored with good irony.

Headed the best historical serials of foreign production. The cooperation between HBO and the BBC turned out to be extremely fruitful. It has made it possible to combine HBO's penchant for a harsh and uncompromising drama with the BBC's habit of carefully checking the facts that will be shown in the series and attracting a star cast to the crew. It is unlikely that any other series would have been so brilliant, detailed, and most importantly - realistically show the transformation of Rome from the republic to the empire, to win a high rating of the audience.
The series, consisting of 2 seasons, demonstrates the rise of Julius Caesar and the impact he has on the citizens of Rome as a whole. Perfectly depicted lustful sexual mores of the ancient period."Rome" is worth seeing for those who want to learn about the greedy, cruel, depraved, but at the same time bright and interesting life of the Eternal City, shown by the eyes of ordinary citizens( the two main characters are Lucia Voren and Titus Poulion).
