Are you ready to see Cullen Bohannon take the next step on “Hell on Wheels“? That is going to be one of the themes of the new episode airing on AMC next week. Going into it, let’s just look at where Anson Mount’s character is at. He managed to escaped a town in Fort Smith […]
There is a strange feeling in our stomach going into Saturday’s “Hell on Wheels” episode. Even before it was confirmed, we were fairly certain that Elam was going to return this season following the bear attack. It just felt like too big of a waste to get rid of Common’s character with something that was […]
Once again, “Hell on Wheels” has sent us a pretty stable reminder that when it comes to their ratings, there is really not anything to worry about. Last week, we expressed our sadness at the show having its least-watched Saturday-night episode ever, though we did attribute some of it to the hour airing over Labor […]
Last night, “Hell on Wheels” aired one of his most dramatic and different episodes of its entire run in “Bear Man,” and we are still trying to wrap our head around all of it. The basic way to sum this up is that even though Elam Ferguson is back, he’s not the same Elam we […]

“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 […]
Tonight, “Hell on Wheels” aired an episode in “Bear Man” that may very well be one of the most unique ones that they have ever created. There was very little English dialogue, a singular focus on the Elam character, and a story that was isolated, yet quiet and beautiful. So where can the series go […]
At this point, the word is probably out that Elam survived the bear attack during last season’s “Hell on Wheels” finale, but this hardly means that his journey is over. Saturday’s episode “Bear Man” is expected to be in part just the story of the character (played by Common), and whether or not he is […]
Let’s go ahead and get the bad news over with when it comes to “Hell on Wheels” ratings, which were a little delayed in their release due to Labor Day Weekend: The show recorded its least-watched episode to date when it comes to total viewers. A total of 1.78 million viewers, per TVbythenumbers, caught the […]
Saturday night’s “Hell on Wheels” was very different than most other hours that we have seen from the show in the past, and it also had a real classic Western quality to it even more than usual (and that is saying something). The character of Syd Snow, who was introduced and ultimately jailed within the […]
Hell on Wheels, Hell on Wheels season 4 review
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 […]
