What Season 2 of Deadwood

It's 1877, and Deadwood is leaving its camp days behind to become a town. With the change come outsiders eager to profit from the anarchy, and a government from outside the town that forces hard decisions. Seth Bullock is now sheriff and must stand up to two feuding brothel owners: the ruthless Al Swearengen and his rival, the cunning Cy Tolliver. Power struggles grow among the founders. Calamity Jane, Alma Garret, Trixie and Joanie try to carve out a place for themselves in a town full of schemers, where every gain comes at a price.
