TV Series - Hell on Wheels 2011/13 3+seasons - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Now entering the 3rd season on AMC cable channel,I must admit I'm getting a little board,but not enough to stop watching yet,thus only 1 star off.The first season really rocked and the second rolled however after 4 episodes this third season I'm a little antsy.The reason I first watched was the story of the west after the civil war and a old tricky star was cast, Colm Meaney     as Thomas 'Doc' Durant.However the main 2 stars interesting relationship was what keep me,those being  Anson Mount as Cullen Bohannan  and  Common as Elam Ferguson.There are many,many others in a great ensemble  cast as well. So if you like westerns,railroads,and a violent retelling of such things,check it out.Trailer  URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

 Cullen Bohannan, a former soldier and slaveholder, follows the track of a band of Union soldiers, the killers of his wife. This brings him to the middle of one of the biggest projects in US history, the building of the transcontinental railroad. After the war years in the 1860s, this undertaking connected the prospering east with the still wild west. Written by cc ardbeg
