    Hell on Wheels' Season 2 Premiere: The Recline of Western Civilization

    "Viva La Mexico" was most successful when it stopped acknowledging the past and focused its attention on using the established change in character dynamics to look ahead.

      It looks to me like they ruined a pretty decent show. Basically this episode was about nothing. It looks like between the last episode of the first season and this one there has been quite a time gap but unfortunately viewers have no awareness about it. Many things changed and unfinished buisness somehow vanished into thin air. If the main protagonist is about to die in the end of the first episode of the new season for sure this is not going to happen and this so far the worst opener that could have ever been invented. It's a pity that the show is probably not going to be renewed for the next season but of course I might be wrong.moreless
