Klondike

Discovery Channel original. Discovery describes the plot as, 'Klondike follows 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." Jack London makes an appearance. British actor Roth (Pulp Fiction) is a bad guy. Shepard (Crimes of the Heart) is a preacher. Australian actress Cornish (Limitless) is a hotel owner. British actor Hart (Rogue) is a greedy businessman. Nelson (Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?) is a prospector. Scottish actor, Madden (Game of Thrones) is the main character - see below.

And.. it was a nice surprise to see New Zealand actor Csokas as a Canadian Mountie. I thought he should have had a bigger role - see below.

They could have gone deeper with some of the characters. I was based on a true story, but I felt like it was missing something. There just didn't seem to be meat to it - if that makes sense. I don't know what exactly it was missing - but it was off. All in all, I say: SKIP IT.
