HELL ON WHEELS - Season 1.1

Anson Mount does a great job in the lead role.  He's born to play westerns.  However, that's all there is to recommend in this pilot episode.

The building of the train is boring. 

Common's character is boring.

They didn't show the Indian that adopts the white man's ways and warns his people to stay away.  All they show is his baptism.

The villain doesn't engage the protagonist in this episode which makes for weak drama.

The series so far is uninvolving and uninspiring.
