Ha, this is a very awkward spoiler case for me. I didn't know about Lily's death, but then again I only watched the pilot and waged in the past weeks whether to get into it or not. However, I am luckily not that interested in what will happen on a show, but whether the road to it is good. So, my question for you would be, is Hell on Wheels worth taking a look? How would you compare it to other AMC shows, or to Deadwood?
Hell on Wheels does take a little while to get going... maybe longer than other AMC shows IMO. However, ever since it found its footing midway through Season 1 I think it has been very good TV personally. There have been some brilliant performances.and the show has a unique perspective that is unlike most other westerns I have seen. Admittedly I am not a huge Western fan....
It certainly does not have the dialog of Deadwood..... or the grittiness, but I think it is quite good on its own merits.I think it is definitely worth watching since "the road" as you put it is very entertaining.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Good news!
ReplyDeleteI am one of the group that loved the finale (despite Lily's death) and am excited for what Season 3 could bring.
I love the show! I did get mad about Lilly's death, but honestly Cullen doesn't need a love interest right now. He needs to keep being the BAMF he is.
ReplyDeletePlease let this be true. Hell on wheels is fantastic
ReplyDeleteHell yes!
ReplyDeleteWow, I really felt like with Lily's death they were expecting this to be the end. (Well, that and the ratings.)

Thanks for the recommendation. This is spoiler site after all, so it's quite fine :)
ReplyDeleteI'll try it then in the winter, before midseason shows start.
