Not sure how it will work for a network broadcast unless NBC which seems to not be able to find anything to compete on a nightly basis in the ratings is hoping that fans of say Mad Men, The Walking Dead or the as mentioned Deadwood turn in for these two programs.

Deadwood was an amazing series I've seen it completely through probably 4 or 5 times. I'm sure being network, they will treat this like all high school history books, all southerners where slave owning war mongers, and that's why there was a war.
