"Deadwood" ran on HBO from 2004 to 2006 for a total of 36 episodes. Some would say it first appeared right in the middle of what I'd consider HBO's golden years. "The Sopranos", "Rome", "Carnivale", "The Wire" are among some of the shows running during that period.
Like "Rome" and "Carnivale" it was cancelled too soon, partly due to how expensive it was to produce, partly because HBO weren't actually making any money on it and partly because creator David Milch's interest seemed to begin to wane. There's an entire section on the book that covers off the various opinions on how and why the show was cancelled, there doesn't appear to be a single consensus among those involved.
It's impossible to really tell the story of "Deadwood" TV series and subsequent film released in 2019 without also focusing on the life and career of creator David Milch. He is a complicated man, a unique writer, a gambler, a former drug addict, an abuse survivor, a man who seems honest with his past. Knowing more about Milch definitely helps give a more well rounded picture of why this show became so special to so many people.
Matt Zoller Seitz has collated an incredibly in depth exploration of Milch and his most famous creation. The book is divided into five sections. Introductions; an overview of Milch's life and career leading up to Deadwood; essays on Deadwood; Recaps of every episode of "Deadwood", as well as subsequent Milch shows "John From Cincinnati", "Luck" and "The Deadwood Movie"; credits.
The hardcover book itself even looks like a bible from the golden title to the layout inside, it's really beautiful and perfectly fitting for a show that so heavily featured religious beliefs in one form or another.
I cannot recommend this enough to fans Deadwood.
