Anyone else interested in AMC's upcoming series "Hell on Wheels"?

Short description:

Set in the 1860s at the beginning of Reconstruction, the series follows Cullen Bohannon, a former Confederate soldier, who is determined to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who murdered his wife. His quest for vengeance sends him westward to Nebraska's "Hell on Wheels," the lawless town that moves with the construction of the transcontinental railroad. However, things get complicated when a Cheyenne tribe attacks the construction of the railroad, determined to destroy the project because it is being built through their lands.


AMC has really developed some good shows lately -- I'll definitely tune in when it first airs on Nov. 6.

1. I can't WAIT, though it will be measured against the comparative yardstick of "Deadwood"...

...which, IMneverHO, was one of the finest TV series ever produced.

2. I never saw Deadwood - no HBO, though I could always rent it, I suppose

I know it got fantastic reviews and had many devoted fans.

How're you doing, MFM? :hi:

3. I highly recommend it, though be prepared... it is unbelievably violent and brutal.

And the word of the day on that show... each and EVERY day... was "cocksucker".
.
.
.
Calamity Jane was a HOOT -- and I imagine she would even make Skittles say, "DA-YUM!!!"

4. Al Swearengyn is one of my all time favorite TV characters, played

brilliantly by Ian McShane. Great show, glad to see that Timothy Olyphant landed on Justified on FX, another great show produced by Elmore Leonard.
