Hell on Wheels

[mr. nails]

episode 7 is better than the 1st six episodes just for the fact that one line went something like, "We Irish are the niggers of the white race". That's some funny shit.

Hell on Wheels is an AMC series created and produced by Joe and Tony Gayton. Set in 1865, the series centers on the settlement that accompanied the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, referred to as "Hell on Wheels" by the company men, surveyors, support workers, laborers, prostitutes, mercenaries and others who make the mobile encampment their home. It stars Anson Mount as Cullen Bohannon, a former Confederate soldier who works as a foreman on the railroad as he tries to track down the Union soldiers who murdered his wife.

Not entirely sold on this show as in the great Western tradition most of the roles lean more to caricatures as opposed to characters but I have to admit it's growing on me.
Large,diverse colourful cast, action and intrigue .A person could certainly do worse.

Doesn't sound too bad... kinda have 'Deadwood' in the back of my mind (which I thought was brilliant), so hoping this is good

Well, coming off of Deadwood rather recently, the cards are stacked against this show. High expectations and all that.

Ah ok, well I'll give episode 1 a shot and see how I go.

I loved Deadwood... couldn't believe the never created the 4th and final series
