This show is magnificent to look at. very realistic sets, even to the Remington 1861 revolvers that are used. production values are terrific and the show definitely has a cinematic quality to it. the plotting is rich and the characters are three dimensional people instead of the usual cardboard ones in westerns. after all westerns are great morality tales now disguised in sci-fi movies and tv. show is very reminiscent of the movie Union Pacific and western Union. please watch this show!

The series is absolutely fantastic. I love all movies that use the old west as its background. The series is raw (not Deadwood raw) but its got great story lines, strong characters and the leading man is a handsome one and quick with his tongue. The dialogue is intriguing and you just get pulled into the story line. Its a definate "must see" in my opinion. Gun fights, fist fights, and prairie love!

I really enjoy this show...I have watched every season so far...usually watch it on my dvr...I also have bought every season on Blu-Ray...its worth watching in hi def...The cast is really good...Anson Mount is a great lead...Colme Meaney is Awesome semi bad dude...and Christopher Heyerdahl is just plain crazy great...I thoroughly recommend this show...

I have really enjoyed this series. The setting and time period is different than other westerns. Watching the plot twist and turn makes it interesting and keeps you guessing each episodes. Would highly recommend this series to anyone who like westerns.

Hell on Wheels is one of the best westerns I've seen on TV in recent years. Despite some story/pacing issues during this season, the show (overall) is certainly binge-worthy and definitely worth the price.
