Tyson Rayles Wrote:AMC (American Movie Channel) on Dish Network it's channel 130. New episodes are at 10 P.M. on Sunday nights. Actually it's about a Confederate soldier after the war who is hunting down and killing the Yanks that burned his hometown (Meridan, Miss.) to the ground while gang raping and murdering his wife in the process. Some of which it turns out work at a railroad work camp called Hell on Wheels which is a camp that moves as the track gang moves as they build the railroad. Just your typical chick flick romantic comedy in other words.There have been two episodes so far, tonight is number three and the railroad action has been very minimal at best
. However it's still interesting in a quirky sort of way.
A series about bloody violence, profanity, brutality, racism, sexual predation against women and frequent bloody murder is a...chic flic? On what planet?
Hell On Wheels is to the transcontinental railway as Deadwood was to the gold mining in the Dakotas. Nothing "chic-flicky" about it.
