Critic Reviews
Nov 7, 2011
Season 1 Review:
This drive for revenge is what makes the pilot spark, smoke and go chug-a-chug-chug. [14 Nov 2011, p.45]

Season 4 Review:
Hell on Wheels plays with big ideas about redemption, sin and forgiveness, so Cullen’s detour and the religious component of other subplots fit the show’s tone and direction. But at some point it would still be good for Cullen to get back into the track-and-crossties game.

Season 5 Review:
Your overall enjoyment will still depend on how much patience you have with railroad building in general. But otherwise, things are finally on track. [24 Jul 2015, p.55]

Season 3 Review:
With his one-note revenge plot behind him, Bohannon teams up with Ferguson to work on a new railroading venture, and thankfully their opponents are much more interesting this time around. [16/23 Aug 2013, p.104]

Season 3 Review:
The history behind the story is tremendous--you feel its pulse. [5 Aug 2013, p.48]

Season 4 Review:
Those standoffs [Cullen/Swede and Durant and Wyoming governor John Campbell (Jake Weber)] only mildly elevate Hell's flat writing.

Season 2 Review:
Mount needs to run this thing, and he can't if he's the caboose. [27 Aug 2012, p.44]

Season 2 Review:
The second season of this Western finds it marginally better paced and the characters moderated a bit from the broad archetypes seen in Season 1, but I still find little to compel me in the story of a robber baron and an ex-soldier teaming up to get a transcontinental railroad built.
