Hell on Wheels season 4 review

For at least a few moments on Saturday night’s “Hell on Wheels,” we almost felt like this was the drama’s version of a bottle episode you typically see in a comedy. The difference: Very little within “Thirteen Steps” was comedic. This episode spent the majority of its runtime within the walls of the local Cheyenne […]

Tonight, “Hell on Wheels” came back after an extended hiatus on AMC, and the fantastic Western wasted almost no time trying to dive right in to some of the issues that it presented when it was last on the air a month ago. Cullen Bohannon struggled immediately when it comes to figuring out what to […]

Last week, “Hell on Wheels” had one of its most-epic moments in its history, so we figured that the show was going to have a difficult time topping that. Well, it may have within the first half of this week’s “Return to Hell” … but in a sad way more so than something we were […]

You knew we were building to something intense on “Hell on Wheels,” and for tonight’s all-new episode, we finally made it there. John Campbell had found a way to go too far yet again, and Cullen Bohannon had to find a way to bail out all those he both loved and needed to finish the […]

We knew that when it came to an emotional response, the odds were extremely low that Saturday’s “Hell on Wheels” was going to rise to the same level of what we had during “Elam Ferguson.” There was no other major-character deaths on the show this week, but we did see many of the characters still […]

It had been two weeks since we’d really seen life in the town of Cheyenne on “Hell on Wheels,” and Saturday night’s episode actually felt somewhat like the eighth episode of “The Walking Dead” season 4. Basically, you had the storylines from two separate episodes colliding, and this led to one of the biggest confrontations […]

“Hell on Wheels” took a major risk with its new episode Saturday night. “Bear Man” was an expressive, emotional hour, and also one that really forced you to rely on visuals. There were no subtitles of Elam’s interactions with the Comanche or his rescue; as a matter of fact, it was almost 40 minutes before […]

Did Syd Snow have the greatest introduction ever on “Hell on Wheels”? For the first few minutes, we started to think so. We almost wondered whether or not we were even watching the right show, given that we were seeing so many images from classic Westerns in here. Then, it only took a few more […]

Tonight’s “Hell on Wheels” episode was one that had many happenings all across the town of Cheyenne, but it was once again the story of a pair of supporting characters who captivated us the most. This time around, it was Eva and Durant who brought layers to one of the show’s most unlikely friendships. She […]
