Hell on Wheels 2011

I´m probably one of the few who don´t like it but that is how it is. I watched 24 episodes and, with very few exceptions, struggled through every one of it. And the more I watched the less I cared. Would have loved to see more of the "unprecedented engineering feat". Instead for me this is a soap wrapped in a western setting with the building of the transcontinental railroad in the background. None of the characters were interesting enough to keep me watching. There is nothing unique about them, they seem to be picked from different shows and just put in period clothes.
On the plus side the atmosphere is right. It´s dark, gritty, at times brutal. In that regard it is believable. Not enough.
