Stars: Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, Common, Dominique McElligott, Tom Noonan, Christopher Heyerdahl Writer:  Jami O’Brien & Bruce Marshall Romans   Director: Sergio Mimica-Gezzan    Network: AMC, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: August 26, 2012 So I’ve compared HELL ON WHEELS to DEADWOOD in the past, as have many people. The two series are very tonally similar and they both take place in rugged, rustic western settings. So, it was only a matter of time until someone gets fed to pigs on this show. It seems like a natural thing. In DEADWOOD, Woo’s pigs were a constant place for body disposal, so it’s […]Read On »

Stars: Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, Common, Dominique McElligott, Tom Noonan, Christopher Heyerdahl Writer:  John Shiban  Director: Adam Davidson    Network: AMC, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: August 19, 2012 Well at the end of the last episode of HELL ON WHEELS we left Cullen Bohannan (Anson Mount) in a bit of a bad spot, which is pretty much where the new episode “Durant, Nebraska” picks up…but I want to actually talk about another moment of this episode first. There is a really well shot, completely speechless moment between Bohannan and the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) after Bohannan has surveyed his new living […]Read On »

Now that’s the way a season finale should be done! LONGMIRE rounds out its tenth episode and season finale with a deeply satisfying episode on so many levels, and teases a LOT more to come for the second season. “Unfinished Business” is again a bit of an adaptation […]Read On »

TV Review: HELL ON WHEELS – Season 2 Premiere – “Viva La Mexico”

HELL ON WHEELS - Season 2 Key Art | ©2012 AMC

Stars: Anson Mount, Colm Meaney, Common, Dominique McElligott, Tom Noonan, Christopher Heyerdahl Writer:  Tony Gayton & Joe Gayton  Director: David Von Ancken    Network: AMC, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: August 12, 2012 Time for another of my favorite shows to return this week! With “Viva La Mexico,” HELL ON WHEELS makes its end of summer return. This gritty and entertaining Western series is a great filler for the void left in anybody’s life by Deadwood. The langue isn’t as rough as Deadwood, but the production value, writing, and characters are engaging. I’m not a huge fan of westerns in particular, […]Read On »

Robert Taylor in LONGMIRE - Season 1 - "Dogs, Horses and Indians" | ©2012 A&E

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer:  Sarah Nicole Jones, Series created by Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: Steve Robin   Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: August 5, 2012 “Dogs, Horses, and Indians” is not a play on the old WIZARD OF OZ song…just in case that’s where your brain goes when you see or hear the title of the latest episode of LONGMIRE; rather it refers to an archaic government term called a Blood Quantum Law that is used to […]Read On »

Robert Taylor in LONGMIRE - Season 1 - "An Incredibly Beautiful Thing" | ©2012 A&E

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer:  Daniel C. Connolly, Series created by Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: J. Michael Muro   Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: July 22, 2012 “An Incredibly Beautiful Thing” is yet another episode of LONGMIRE where you really don’t have a specific idea of where the story is going to go. I like the fact that this series, even though it’s set in a small town, has a width and breadth of diversity for the types […]Read On »

TV Review: LONGMIRE – Season 1 – “8 Seconds”

Bailey Chase and Gerald McRaney in LONGMIRE - Season 1 - "8 Seconds" | ©2012 A&E

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer:  Tony Tost, Series created by Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: Christopher Chulack  Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: July 8, 2012 “8 Seconds” is an interesting and very twisty turvy episode of LONGMIRE. This series never ceases to impress with the levels of intrigue for each week’s mystery, and even though I figured this one out – it was only a couple of minutes ahead of the big reveal. So many elements of this […]Read On »

Katee Sackoff in LONGMIRE - Season 1 - "The Worst Kind of Hunter" | ©2012 A&E

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer:  Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Series created by Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: Peter Weller  Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: July 8, 2012 LONGMIRE is almost like SIX FEET UNDER, at the start of every episode I wait to see either how the victim is going to die, or what condition the body is in when it’s found. It’d be kind of funny just once to have a wood burned sign with the […]Read On »

TV Review: LONGMIRE – Season 1 – “Dog Soldier”

Robert Taylor in LONGMIRE - Season 1 - "Dog Soldier" | ©2012 A&E

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer:  Tony Tost, Series created by Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: Alex Graves  Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: July 1, 2012 Besides the fact that LONGMIRE is just a really well done series, (which got a season two pick up already!) each week has a few feel and flavor to the cases that Walt (Robert Taylor) and his deputies have to investigate. I like the fact that it’s not the MURDER SHE WROTE formula, […]Read On »

TV Review: LONGMIRE – Season 1 – “The Cancer”

By SEAN ELLIOTT 06/27/2012
Robert Taylor in LONGMIRE - Season 1 - "The Cancer" | ©2012 A&E

Stars: Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase, Adam Bartley, Louanne Stephens  Writer:  Daniel C. Connolly, Series created by Hunt Baldwin & John Coveny, Based on the novels by Craig Johnson Director: Gwyneth Horder-Payton  Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 24, 2012 “The Cancer” is an interesting episode of LONGMIRE. Instead of dealing with a situation that essentially comes from somewhere in the state of Wyoming, this one deals with an outside threat moving into Absaroka County. Honestly, this is something that I find a really true subject when speaking of my home state. […]Read On »
