Deadwood.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348914/

Quote:The town of Deadwood, South Dakota in the weeks following the Custer massacre is a lawless sinkhole of crime and corruption. Into this uncivilized outpost ride a disillusioned and bitter ex-lawman, Wild Bill Hickok, and Seth Bullock, a man hoping to find a new start for himself. Both men find themselves quickly on opposite sides of the legal and moral fence from Al Swearengen, saloon owner, hotel operator, and incipient boss of Deadwood. The lives of these three intertwine with many others, the high-minded and the low-lifes who populate Deadwood in 1876.

I'd avoided this (despite people telling me it was very good) because I'm not a fan of Ian McShane. I take it back! He is brilliantly cast in this series as Swearengen. As close to a perfect casting as you will get. 
I also usually hate Paula Malcomson. She has major parts in Ray Donovan and Sons of Anarchy - with the most annoying Irish accent EVER in both those despite being born in Belfast. In this, again, the casting suits her and she isn't using an Irish accent. 
Olyphant is great as the principled always angry ex lawman with a stiff manner which even translates to the way he moves. Always wanting to do right by others, despite that sometimes meaning he has to ignore his principles. 
Too many other quality actors well cast to keep mentioning, but you will notice many from other series. 

It's just 3 series. I've flown through the first two and am on the final series 3 now. I know it was cancelled and I'm just living in hope that it's not left on some kind of cliff hanger with the final episode of series 3. I've only watched E1 S3, but can't for the life of me see why it was cancelled. Shame they didn't market it better at the time as it's far superior to a lot of series I've watched. 
IMDb gives it 8.8/10 and it's well worth that. I'd personally make it an easy 9/10. Well worth watching.
