What does it mean to be underrated? For us at the CarterMatt Awards, it means to be magnificent but under-appreciated. All of the nominees below in our Underrated Actor field have done tremendous work on their shows, sometimes for several years, without any major awards recognition to go along with. These are the people you’re upset every […]
Welcome to the first category of the 2015 CarterMatt Awards! If you missed our announcement yesterday, we are now kicking off our annual December tradition by celebrating the best that the year had to offer. Today, we begin with our first category: Underrated Show. Everyone has that show that they adore, they tell their friends to watch, and […]
It has been a few weeks now since we finished our coverage of “Hell on Wheels” season 5A, and it was a multi-faceted, compelling journey for Cullen Bohannon. While he continued his quest to both complete the railroad and find his wife and child, we also saw him immersed in a completely different culture working […]
Saturdays over the past month and a half have been fantastic for “Hell on Wheels,” as we have gotten closer and closer to the end of Cullen Bohannon’s journey. By the end of last week’s episode, we finally did see Naomi again! Unfortunately, we had to wait to see her front and center for what […]
We’ve spend several weeks now on “Hell on Wheels” season 5 exploring Cullen Bohannon and his efforts working with the Central Pacific, which in turn has been an interesting exploration in its own right into life for the Chinese workers who toiled for little pay and respect. On tonight’s midseason finale, meanwhile, the show decided […]
Tonight, we have reached the end of the road (or the railroad?) for “Hell on Wheels” this summer, but the great news is that this is far from the end of the road for the series. There are still seven more episodes left, and these will air at some point in 2016. Unfortunately, we cannot […]
Saturday night marks the end of “Hell on Wheels” season 5A, and there are clearly several interesting stories that will be uncovered. More important than any other may be one of the first true meetings of the minds revolving around several people of particular power in the railroad industry. You have Thomas Durant with the […]
It may be hard to believe, but there is now only one episode left until “Hell on Wheels” ends the first half of season 5. There are still so many stories left to tell, and also conclusions for us to reach. One of the big questions that we could see many wondering after this past […]
When you look at the character of Mei on “Hell on Wheels,” it is pretty clear that this is a woman who has already suffered extensively. Not only is she stuck in the taxing, at-times terrible railroad culture of the Central Pacific, but she has spent the majority of the time there pretending to be a […]
It has taken us some time this season, but “Hell on Wheels” has really started to paint a fuller picture of what season 5 will be … and we are of course extending the story beyond just Cullen Bohannon and the town of Truckee. In Laramie, we are seeing many beloved characters show off some […]
