To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.

Andy it starts out being about a confederate looking for revenge against some yankees for killing his family at the end of the civil war ( in the interest of accuracy actually the war of succesion ) and morphs into the building of a RR to the west coast.

I've been watching it steadily since it began. It has a lot to say about the cultural and social mores of the time.

To be really accurate...it was the war of secession...

Hell on Wheels depicts the lives and struggles around building the Union Pacific Railroad. While it's not a historical series, it does have some historic characters (like Thomas Durant) and provides a great feel for what it would have been like to build a railroad across a hostile frontier. I love the series. It plays on AMC, and Netflix picks it up.

As luck (or the lack thereof) would have it AMC has become too popular due to shows like Walking Dead/Hell on Wheels and Breaking Bad that the Dish and Cable companies are dropping it from the lower price packages. You can go to AMC's website and watch this seasons premire but all the following shows can't be watched unless you are subscribed to one of the Dish/Cable companies that have a contract with AMC (in which case you have already watched the show on TV
 ) thereby losing thousands of viewers. Oh well ..............................
