Anybody else watching "Hell on Wheels"?

[doriancutlerman]

Well, I'm watching it.  And I think it beats the shit out of AMC's zombie show, which is decent in its own right.  There are so many interesting characters ... the beautiful English women, Chief O'Brien Mr. Durant, Cullen Bohannan, Elam Ferguson, The Swede, the preacher and his Indian ward, etc., etc.

The show even gave our physique-loving brethren a shirtless fight between Cullen and Elam, the mulatto leader of the black guys working on the railroad.  Mr. Bohannan is kind of a twink but he is cut

Seriously, though, it's an awesome show.  It might not be Breaking Bad, but then, what is?  The Sopranos, with those obtuse ducks in the swimming pool metaphors?  LOL.  Not even close.  The Sopranos would have been a lame soap opera if it didn't have a great light-hearted side; e.g., pretty much everything Paulie Walnuts did.  "Hey, Sil, do you remember your first blowjob?"

Silvio Dante:  "...yeah."

Paulie:  "Hmm.  How long did it take for da guy to come?  Heh heh heh!"

Cookies and/or ampules of legit stuff for people who think The Swede:

A. might snap
B. is on someone else's payroll.  Remember his effort to secure a bunch of explosives?  I say he, not the Indians, is responsible for derailing the train.

I watch both Hell on Wheels and The Walking Dead, and love them both.  I hope they pick up Hell on Wheels for a second season.  The Walking Dead is very popular, and has already been approved for a third season.  AMC really knows how to cast good actors.

AMC Renews Hell on Wheels for an Expanded Fourth Season

AMC announced today that it renewed its original Western drama Hell on Wheels for an expanded fourth season. For its third season, Hell on Wheels was moved to Saturday – a day that AMC has traditionally devoted to classic Western films and television shows – and the show attracted a larger audience than it had in its second season on Sunday nights. In its third season, Hell on Wheels delivered an average audience of 3.3 million viewers, live and with three days of time shifting.

“John Wirth and his team on both sides of the camera delivered a remarkable third season and Hell On Wheels fans responded. We are so proud of this show and congratulate everyone who has contributed to its success,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president. “AMC has served passionate Western fans for three decades, so it is particularly gratifying to see these viewers capping off their Saturdays with an original Western on what has historically been a tough night of the week for television. Our commitment to the genre is unwavering and we look forward to continuing to super-serve this audience with an expanded fourth season of Hell on Wheels.”

The season four renewal is for 13 episodes, following 10 hours in each of its first three seasons. Hell on Wheels will return to AMC next summer.

Executive produced by showrunner John Wirth (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Falling Skies, The Cape), Mark Richard and Jeremy Gold, EVP of Creative Affairs, Endemol Studios, and starring Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, and Common, Hell on Wheels was developed by Endemol USA. The series is produced by leading independent studio, Entertainment One (eOne) and Nomadic Pictures. eOne’s Television CEO John Morayniss and EVP US scripted television Michael Rosenberg oversee production in partnership with co-producers Mike Frislev and Chad Oakes from Nomadic Pictures.

Awesome news...sometimes the show can be a little unrealistic{what tv show isn't!}but it's still one of my 2 favorite shows on tv

[Army of One]

Seemed very simplistic for the first 4 episodes I saw, did it get any deeper on any level after?

[240 is Back]

I really liked seasons 1 & 2.

I saw the first 2 shows of season 3.... but then missed it (hate that sat night time slot).

Should be out on netflix in a few months?

Watched Season 1 on DVD, episodes were just too short, Deadwood was far more interesting.
