"Hell on Wheels" Review by the Totally RAD Show http://revision3.com/trs/hellonwheels
Definately love the level of detail they put into this show.. Also love the era, comes close to 'deadwood'
I can't help but feel that HoW really stalled in season 4. It's a season that kills characters and doesn't really develop any new ones and certainly lacks the sense of history in the making of the previous seasons. The longer the writers dwelled in Cheyenne, the more lost they got.
I haven't turned off any shows in the past. But after 15 minutes of this I had enough. Don't know, acting felt to soft for this kind of show.. Should I try episode 2 ?
Definitely going to watch this as it goes into its second season.
So this is a strong series. S1,2 & 3 are really strong. However S4 slows down significantly, S5 picks up rather quickly, and the finale is solid. The only weak part of this series is Season 4. But ill leave that to you to decide. I still would recommend watching this series, because it seems very accurate and detailed.
This was a pretty good western show, but didn't reach potential. Anson Mount carried the show though and fit the character perfectly. I'm not sure this show really knew what it wanted to be since it wraps up the first/main story half-way through and then changes the character's motives for the future. It's a bit weird and gets to be a bit of a drag in later seasons. If you enjoy Westerns though, definitely check this show out.
I´m probably one of the few who don´t like it but that is how it is. I watched 24 episodes and, with very few exceptions, struggled through every one of it. And the more I watched the less I cared. Would have loved to see more of the "unprecedented engineering feat". Instead for me this is a soap wrapped in a western setting with the building of the transcontinental railroad in the background. None of the characters were interesting enough to keep me watching. There is nothing unique about them, they seem to be picked from different shows and just put in period clothes. On the plus side the atmosphere is right. It´s dark, gritty, at times brutal. In that regard it is believable. Not enough.
looks like it really is the end of 'hell on wheels' this season. [spoiler] seeing as how the lead characters are getting killed.[/spoiler]
Only started watching this yesterday, no clue why I haven't watched it yet as it is amazing! By far one of my favorite shows set in the past.
