It was going so well.

hell on wheels is amazing, Its one of my favorite shows. it has been going so good until the last 5 minutes of blood moon rising. The battle was awesome, I thought it was cool how all the workers got together to fight the Sioux and how the whole town got burned down.But Why would AMC kill of the best one of the best and hottest characters in the show I mean really what were they thinking to have the swede kill her. I personally cant stand the swede he is one the worse characters in the show, don't get me wrong great actor but I couldn't stand the character. I had a feeling Mr. toole was going to die but I didn't see him killing himself. This really made me angry to watch her get strangled but its not like im going to stop watching the show, I love it.

Great until the end and then it sucks

Spoiler alert- Just when they finally get together and acknowledge their feelings that evil Mr. Swede has to screw everything up. You know he will be back, Bohannon never got to see him hang! I wanted to see the relationship unfold, but another Bohannon lady gets strangled!

of all the people to kill off!

The story was going so well... I didn't have cable for the last 3 episodes of season 2 and just watched the end. How Does AMC plan of keeping the audience when the kill off the superhot heroine? I could see the Irish guy killing himself but it would of been great to see Cullen walk in at the last minute and put a bullet through the swedes head while he was strangling Bell. I get the whole Cullen walks this world alone bit, then have the suspense of the swede surviving to continue being a menace, but then when he jumps he is obviously dead in the water. After all. this show doesn't have fairy tale supernatural themes to it. SO what was the point. Bell is dead, the Swedes suspense is over, and we have Common and the whore left. The viewer base is basically white male, and the season leaves the only female break to it a racemix couple which is not really appealing to the general white male public. I really don't see any sense in watching it after killing off the #2 character in the show and the most appealing

Terrible writing

[Noah-Smith5050 · 2/10 · 18 August 2019]

With only a few characters worthwhile on this show, Lily Bell being one of them. The writer decides to kill her character off. Whereas you have the Sweed who ultimately triumphs in his glory, killing her and not allowing Cullen to see him hang. The Sweed was the worst and most annoying of characters, along with the Reverend, Mr. Toole, Eva to name a few. The dynamic of Lily and Cullen working together to finish the railroad and continue to fight Durant would of been a much better storyline. Maybe that's why the show only lasted 5 seasons. Either way, big letdown. I will not be continuing this, now more dreadful then ever show. Had so much promise.
