Klondike

Has anyone else caught this? It's on the Discovery Channel of all places and about the lives of two childhood best friends, Bill and Epstein, in the late 1890s as they flock to the gold rush capital in the untamed Yukon Territory. This man-versus-nature tale places our heroes in a land full of undiscovered wealth, but ravaged by harsh conditions, unpredictable weather and desperate, dangerous characters including greedy businessmen,seductive courtesans and native tribes witnessing the destruction of their people and land by opportunistic entrepreneurs.

Although there are some holes you could pick in it (some of the frontier wimmenfolk look as if they are dressed by Top Shop), I wanted to watch it, because of it being Discovery Channel's first venture into mini-series, and we're really enjoying it so far.
