"Am a great Western fan, a little violent"
Overall enjoyed the Season 1. Have already purchased Season 2. Will look forward to Season 3, if there is one.

Description
Hell on Wheels tells the epic story of post-Civil War America, focusing on a Confederate soldier who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, a dangerous, lawless melting pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the first transcontinental railroad – an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. The series documents the railroad s engineering and construction as well as institutionalised greed and corruption, the immigrant experience and the plight of newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction. Hell on Wheels chronicles this potent turning point in North Americas history and how uncivilised the business of civilisation can be.

But that's not necessarily bad thing, Deadwood set a really high benchmark and everything else after would be compared to it.
This series is definatley worth watching, it just lacks the storytelling and character development. I would say watch this first and then Deadwood.
