Anybody watch last nights premiere?
It was okay. I don't want to spoil anything on last nights episode but I'll probably watch next weeks episodes to make my final judgement on it. |

Salon is pretty high on this. Says that it takes a few episodes to pick up steam, but that it's pretty interesting and unique once it does.

Shows sometimes take time to find their legs. And, hell, sometimes shows start off great and go into the shitter. I say all this without watching Hell on Wheels. It's just a general commentary... |

I like this guy who looks like Jim Caviezel but he's not Jim Caviezel.

I liked it--I thought there were some clunker lines (especially Colm Meaney's long speech at the end, including predictions of the future of America becoming a world power), but overall it was decent. The relationships of the characters is pretty predictable (slave will become Bohannon's friend, cute blonde British wife (widow) will become his love interest eventually).

Show has promise, but the camera style was unbearable to me.
Pretty much all of the AMC shows use mostly static or slow panning shots. The camera movement in this pilot episode was just way too much for me. |

Liked it, didn't LOVE it. But I think it has a ton of potential and is one of the best Pilots of the season. A little static and obvious, yes. But most Pilots are. This one was never awkward. Decent acting. Ted Levine OWNS it. Decent writing. Direction was a little heavy handed, but we'll see what happens as it finds it's voice.
Hope it gets a little more nuance. But, yeah, B/B-. Probably my favorite new show of the season, right now. |

Bizumpedy Bump for Frankie.
I've been watching. I'm enjoying it. I'm not head over heels for it, but whenever an episode completes, I want to see what is going to happen next week. So I guess that is the measure of success for a show. |

Big western movie fan here but feel kinda disappointed in this one. After watching all the episodes I wouldn't feel bad if I miss some of the future ones.

Just got caught up again. Liked the first four but that last one, the boxing episode, was crap. Hopefully it's a bump in the road and not a sign of things to come.

I do like it, I am just curious what the main backbone of the show will be, aside from the literal railroad. The issues with the railroad and his revenge don't seem to be deep enough to carry it. Still, I have watched each episode. |
