So now we are ten episodes, one season into Hell on Wheels. At times we saw promise. Still the sum total of ten episodes was nothing. Bohannon is on the run. Elam, played by Common is feeling like he might have a future and alienating everyone in the process. The young whore with the marked face wants someone to treat her special. Durant wants Bohannon gone so he can have a path to the dead photographers wife. The Irish brothers are leading the merchants in a tarring and feathering of The Swede. The Swede, the character with the best chance to be truly rememberable has now been defeated too many times to be anything more than a rat behind the chaos.
Perhaps I will try it again when, if, it returns. However a show advertised as a Western really was far from it. Characters were interesting. Certainly the minister's beheading of the Army Captain was one scene that will stay with you. The show just feels like it could have been more, in the end, not much happens. Kind of a waste.
