Looks like they've got another winner. Loved the premiere.

Saw the previews, wanted to watch it but it was on opposite the Steelers game and I am DVR less.

I liked it a lot.

I never saw Deadwood, do they look comparable?

I would say so. Obviously the language is a little different on AMC than on HBO, but there's obvious parallels with the lawless western town aspect.

It's hard to tell from 1 episode, but this one seemed to focus a little more on the main character than Deadwood, which followed a bunch of different people/storylines about equally.

I enjoyed it though. Looks like a winner to me.

Deadwood was a let down for me.

Hell on Wheels started great though. AMC definitely pushes the envelope in terms of content.

How the heck was deadwood a letdown? It was one of the best HBO series ever.

I forgot to set the DVR for it but I'll catch one of the repeats during the week. It looks pretty awesome.

Watched the premier and will continue to watch. My only problem is that half the time I couldn't understand what the characters were mumbling.
