Hate to see it end! This is one of thee best shows on tv. Not many inappropriate scenes make it awesome to watch with our son, kinda give some true info on history. Avon sorry to see it go! But there always breaking bad to show the kids chemistry, and real tv, what would we do without the queen shot Kim and her confused SF Bruce. And lets not forget twirling can learn so much from L & HH. Too many gosh awful shows to list but I hope you catch my point!

I was a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy. After it ended I couldnt find a show to be excited about. While most were excited by TWD or GOT I couldnt find the appeal. Hell on Wheels was a great show that captured the American West's hardships and the diversity of different Characters that made life so difficult. I give it 5 stars easily due to the incredible cast who all fit so well to their roles.

Happened to choose this off netflix one night while folding clothes. Had no idea what I was getting into. We were into Arrow, but it got way too cheesy and we lost interest. I was afraid it would happen w HW also. NOT AT ALL! great show. Love the characters. My husband and dad are now hooked as well. I get so into it, I can't watch it too close to bedtime. You know it's good when u watch 4 episodes in a row. We don't have cable/dish... patiently waiting until season 4 is on netflix.
