    Re: Hell on Wheels -- New AMC Western Series Trailer -- Coming Fall 2011

    Thoughts on the second episode?

    I liked it a lot. Much better for me than the first. Seems they got through a lot of that first episode set up and right into some "action."

    I even like Cullen now.

        Agreed. They've done a good job with the villains so far. They aren't just simple adversaries.

              This is about the only television show that I'm watching now-a-days. I'm naturally attracted to westerns and was really excited for it. Now that I've watched the first two episodes...



              The show started out really well with the shooting in the church and Durant's speech and play in the first moments, but it sorta became dull after that. I know that most first episodes are slow to get the characters going, but the only really good parts of it were the ones with Durant (especially with the straight line railroad and telling the guy to get out of his office while the train is moving).

              The second episode is just about what I was expecting out of the series (i.e. really good). The Swede character is an amazingly conceived and acted part, and he even put the fear in me. I loved the final scene where Bohannon turns his prospects with Durant and stands on equal ground with the Swede. Really amazing stuff here, and I can't wait to see episode three.

                I echo this statement.
                He's a very cool character. Very imposing. I hope we get to see him get his hands dirty at some point.

                Episode 2 was def better than 1, but I've enjoyed both so far.
                All the characters are pretty cool and each seems to have a decent backstory and motives.

                How many episodes are there total? Anyone know?

                    First episode was alright, second got better. So far its solid. I'll keep watching. The production value on this show is phenomenal though. Looks incredible in HD. Super crisp, great contrast, nice desaturation. One of the best looking shows on tv at the moment imo.

                        There was. One last night, too.

                          I'm really enjoying this series. It's surpassed 'The Walking Dead' as my top show. Especially after TWD's lackluster 2011 finale.

                            Show is great. Definitely one of my favorites of the season so far.
