About Deadwood
The outlaw camp of Deadwood marches slowly towards civilization, facing its first elections. But the power struggles continue over everything in Deadwood—influence, money, and whores—as the founding camp members form strategic alliances to face down the threat of a powerful newcomer, seeking to remake Deadwood in his image.
How to get through Deadwood faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 45 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 28.8 hours; at 1.5× it's 24 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
