Hell On Wheels Series Review

Hell On Wheels Series Review

One Of The Best Series I've Seen

Hell On Wheels is without a doubt one of the best tv shows I've ever seen! This show was during AMC's golden years, and boy was this amazing! I honestly can't stress enough about how great this western series is.
Hell On Wheels follows Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a former confederate solider as he seeks revenge for the death of his family due to the hands of union soldiers. What he doesn't expect, is that it leads him to the rail road where he and along with many others must go through hell of love, death, and all the drama in between. 
I can't understate how amazing this show really is. I'm not going to name the actors because there are to many great ones to list and I fear dear reader, it would take up this entire post. 
I honestly have never been much of one for westerns, but I don't mind them. If you yourself aren't big into them, I'll tell you this, watch Hell On Wheels.
There is so much depth to these characters, and you get so invested in them, but be warned dear viewer, not everyone will make it to the end of the series alive. 
Anson Mount is flawless in his role of Cullen Bohannon. I think he was born to play this character. Cullen Bohannon isn't always a good man, but he is always an honorable one.
I think the show has a bit of guts to make it's lead character a Confederate veteran. How many movies or shows do you know that would make the main character a Confederate veteran? It's an interesting perspective which isn't really shown in film.
I don't think there was a single bad episode in this entire series, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Each episode took hold of me and wouldn't let me go. Each character was so well done, I became invested in just about all of them.
I hope Anson Mount will do more work in the Western genre, because he truly is perfect for it. I know I've mentioned this before, but honestly he's fantastic!
There is so much to love about this show, but I don't think I have the time to write about all of it, because it would end up being a small book. I applaud everyone that worked on Hell On Wheels, and I wish them the best.
If you've been looking for just a good show to watch and you have no idea what to watch next, then I tell you this, if you don't watch it then you will regret not seeing, Hell On Wheels.



final score: 5/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
