Read the pilot for the new AMC series.
Story's set in the Old West and focuses on the building on the transcontinental railroad. We're introduced to the businessmen, the engineers, the Indians, and a mysterious figure that's hellbent on revenge.
I wouldn't have given this the greenlight. We've seen it before. It's terrain has been covered to death. It's a straight drama. They would've been better served to put a spin upon it by adding an unconventional element. Maybe a higher intelligence or a supernatural presence. Something that would shake up the genre.
Even doing a series like the old WILD, WILD WEST would be more interesting than this.
AMC usually doesn't miss. This series though will not match up to MAD MEN, BREAKING BAD or THE WALKING DEAD.
The way it's written,
