    I've a few on observations on the pilot, but have forgotten most of them. Colm Meaney's his character felt a little thin, presumably there's more to him than the cute hoor routine (tbf, I liked this). A couple of potentially interesting characters are killed off and the violence is fairly brutal, would take more issue with the former. I think part of the problem will be Deadwood's shadow and that it's kind of Deadwood-lite.

    It isn't but it's still good all the same. :D
    I enjoyed it but I dont think it's as well told as it could be. I'd recommend it if you like a western/period yarn.

    this and alphas just came out on netflix

    which should i watch?

    i think hell on wheels at first glance would be more suited to my taste

    prefer serialised shows that are gritty and dark

    why is the priest daughter suddenly so intent on keeping a church?

    how did yer one not know that the whore killer was the foreman?

    so what is ferguson job supposed to be, i thought his job was security, but he keeps saying it isnt' a bohnan is doing it all.

    that was a bit of a mistake by bohanan letting the brothers out before the german left town

    Anyone see the most recent ep "The White Spirit"? It was somehow unintentionally hilarious and interesting at the same time.

    So many gif-able moments from the Swede's bizarre entrance to the Sioux teepee to Bohannon's many many WTF?! faces.

    And then there was the long teased love scene where the pretty people get it on. Kudos to the writers and Anson Mount for sticking with the characters backstory of not sleeping with other women since his wife died. He looked suitably freaked out at stages :D

    Well if that's to be the end of the series I'd be happy enough. Poor ole Bohannon has no luck.

    My only gripe with the finale was they showed their hand too much at the start with Cullen tearing up. I knew at that stage what was going to happen. The Swede's final act would have been much more shocking if that initial scene was shot slightly differently.

    Anyway it had some great bits
    - the Swede got to be deliciously malevolent one last time (I hope it is the last time, him coming back from that drop would be silly).
    - the Durants got more time as antagonists
    - the love triangle between Elam, Toole & Eva was resolved in a fairly plausible way and I actually felt sorry for Toole in the end
    - Lily's fate which was god damn tragic

    Is the show renewed for a third season yet?

    I will be disappointed if it is renewed for another season since all I can see is a very weak storyline of Cullen being super depressed like early season 1 and the Swede returning as an even more demented cartoon villain. I'm undecided whether the killing of Lily was a ballsy move by the writers or just them not caring any more.

    AMC has given a 10-episode third season renewal to Hell On Wheels. However, the Western drama’s creators Joe and Tony Gayton are stepping down as executive producers and will no longer be involved day-to-day on the show. They may consult. John Shiban continues as showrunner.

    Maybe they decided any romance between Lilly and Bohannon would hinder what was meant to be the main through line of his story which was his hunting down his families killers, something the show seemed to forget for the majority of the series in favor of the turgid railroad storyline.
