Hell on Wheels Season 3

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Are you kidding me? This has to be my favorite TV series in a long time. I flipped on the first episode by accident once. It was a repeat after the first season had ended. I got hooked from the first episode. I didn’t realize until later that I had actually seen the first episode which didn’t ruin anything for me. Characters are being killed off quite frequently to the point that hardly anyone is left after the second season but the 3rd season still doesn’t disappoint. If you haven’t watched this series, I recommend you do. I’m not a huge fan of westerns but I do love this historical time period. The story lines between characters are what make this show but I think the creators of the show do a good job of giving you an idea of what it might have been like to live (and die) in this era. It certainly wasn’t easy living back then. You also can’t help but feel for the plight of the Natives whom I wish were in the show a bit more. At any rate, give this show a shot. I hope you aren’t disappointed!

Well, for all you Deadwood fans out there, this is better by a long rifle shot. There was an odd attraction to that western, and the plot was always rather vacuous, but the dialogue writing was over the top. Hell on Wheels cover the full spectrum of over-the-top. I bought all the episodes for my Kindle, it was that good. Fargo and Walking Dead are the only others I garnered first. This updated and gritted up western is awesome. Acting is top notch to go with the twisting and turning plot line. Great bad guys chase the good guys and vice versa. Hell on Wheels actually gets better as the seasons progress. Westerns are maybe an acquired taste, and it does have some brutal violence at times. So, get over it, and watch it.

If you haven’t yet grabbed a Kindle, just do it, as Nike says. I have the 9 inch HDX with 18gb(get more GB’s) and videos on this unit blow away any other iPad-like device on the market. These videos like Hell on Wheels look ridiculously good on the 2500×1600(1920×1080 is your HDTV’s resolution) screen that is the industry leader for clarity. Even with my glasses on, I cannot see a pixel from 6 inches away. Try that with your device! Get Hell on Wheels for your Kindle and you will love it, and can also be played on your Playstation or computer too.

Actually, this show has gotten better now that Bohannon’s love interest was murdered at the end of season two. Liked her character during first season but as the show progressed she became sort of a duplicitous witch. Robin McLeavey is great as Eva. I have admired her ever since seeing her in the Aussie flick “The Loved One” where she totally chewed up the scenery and the other actors as a young girl from a very dysfunctional family. Kasha Kopinski has stepped forward with a much bigger role as Ruth, the practicing missionary in the camp. She isn’t a lily white character and has failings but she does the best with what she has been dealt. I’m glad to see Anson Mount becoming a bit more sensitive and his scenes with Kopinski are wonderful. Suddenly, there are two people on the telly with chemistry. The plotting has been grand this year and there has been more adventures in the telling. Especially concerning Mr. Heyerdahl’s evil character in relation to the little Mormon boy who has luckily come under the protection of Mr. Bohannon who sees his dead son lurking somewhere in the boy and has a very fatherly way of handling him. At this point the boy, who rescued Bohannon from dying of thirst, has not told anybody what Heyerdahl did to him and his family after insinuating himself into their company traveling across the plains and I believe by the time he and Bohannon come into each others notice, there just may be more blood than last year’s encounter. I sure as heck will stick around for a 4th season. Hopefully there will be one.
