im thinking about starting american horror story, but i hear hell on wheels is good, but its not very historically accurate, some people said that turned them off to the show, but it wont turn me off to it considering i dont know shite about our history

Its not bad. I watch it. There's a couple of things in the show that bother me, but I like it enough to keep watching it.

It's not terrible, but I canceled it off of my DVR recordings. Every week I would think "Do I really want to watch this?" Then I would delete it.

It's just mediocre at best and if AMC cancelled Rubicon then I don't think there is any way this show makes it.

Not as Good as i was hoping.
But it's watchable.

Cullen Bohannon and Lily Allen are both worth watching. The rest of the show... not so much.

Pretty much how I feel. It has been compelling enough to keep me watching, but nothing spectacular.

German guy in all black is a good character
Guy running whole operation is good

Black dude sucks, so does the confed soldier.

I liked that a-hole Irish man too.

Forgive me I forget names.

Jumped ship after two episodes. I thought it was pretty terribly written. I wanted it to be good, as I love westerns. But it's not.

Time to pick up Justified.

Wouldn't rank it anywhere near that list but it's decent.

The lead role, Bohannan (sp?), is a reinvention of Josie Wells and I like his character. "Doc" Durant and Lily Bell are interesting characters also. Common's character seems out of place at times.

It's a lot like Camelot. Started out great with some compelling characters and a great premise but didn't quite pull it off. We'll see here.

FWIW, I finally started watching Mad Men and I'm loving that.

That's what I've heard, I'm just in limbo with nothing playing right now. It can't be as shitty as Walking Dead was last season.

I agree with others it is a pretty weak series. I dvr it but don't always watch the whole show.

Yeah, Walking Dead was pretty bad but the season finale, with the missing little girl coming out of the barn as a zombie, was a nice touch.
