More details on IMDB (Series - Movie) and Wikipedia (Series - Movie)

Deadwood is an excellent series of 36 episodes in total that was cancelled on 2006 due to poor management. The show remained incomplete up until 2019 when a movie was released to do justice as a finale.

Before it became a city that will be annexed by South Dakota, Deadwood during the 1870s was an outlaw settlement located technically within Indian territory. Inspired by real people and actual events, the Black Hills Gold Rush was attracting all kinds of adventurers. The settlers community was trying to emulate US laws while many individuals had conflicting interests regarding ownership over the land and control over the services.

If you watched the series years ago and just found out that a movie finale is released, then you may check this 3 minute Recap video by HBO to be recall Deadwood series events. The 2019 movie also includes several flashbacks to refresh our memory.
