Very down-to-earth. Unpretentious, intelligent...pulls no punches. The re-creation of the boom town known as Dawson....the lawlessness, the dog- eat-dog mentality, the toiling and tedium as mud and rocks are shoveled as miners stake claims side-by-side in the ice-cold, slippery muck. The con men, prostitutes, thieves, murderers. Jack London depicted as a bright young man with a drinking problem. From the very first episode, you get the feeling that anything can happen...nobody is safe and there are layers to each character. The dialog seems very real...the conditions unrelenting.Dawson is an evil town...its inhabitants never at ease and stalked by disease and people driven by desperation to lie, steal, and kill.
