I just watched the first episode of Hell on Wheels earlier and it was decent enough, I think it'll grow on me as pilots can often be more about setting the scene and establishing the story rather than anything too gripping, i'll give the second episode a watch anyway and see how it goes
Great series. I seen the whole season and thought this will be a good series. Can't wait until the next season. AMC is pretty good with the series they put on. But I actually saw the first season when it premiered back last fall.
