We watched it for a couple seasons, and liked it. The protagonist is cut along the Clint Eastwood, anti-hero profile. Typical tragic back story. Give it a shot, it's worth the watch.

I found the two to have opposite paces....

Breaking bad starts slow and builds pace and story as it goes

Hell On Wheels to me got slower and worse as it went on

I've watched it through a couple times and recommend to friends who are looking for something to watch.

I'm in the middle of it now. About halfway through the last season and it really starts to drag. Should have wrapped it up at the end of season 4.

I do like to imagine it's just one of Chief O'Brien's holodeck programs though.

I enjoyed Hell on Wheels.

Yeah, there were a few episodes that kinda dragged, or seemed to fill the space, but overall, I liked it.

Breaking Bad?
I just re-watched it a few weeks ago. Still a great series!

I really liked it. A few of the scenes throughout the series were a bit heartbreaking.

Hope you do enjoy it.

I will add that while I LIKED Hell on Wheels, Breaking Bad was one of the best TV series I've ever watched. There will be cringing during some episodes! Eek

I recently made note elsewhere that it was only after watching all of season one and part of season 2 of "The Boys" that I realized "Queen Maeve" was Dominique McElligott, "Lily Bell" from Hell on Wheels.

Weird, because I'm balls deep in The Boys and I didn't make that connection.

Can't wait to see what happens to the Swede

I enjoyed Hell on Wheels not anything over the top or a series I would likely find myself watching again but glad I watched it.

I absolutely hated Breaking Bad only kept watching because my wife kind of liked it.

I watched 3 episodes of the first season and stopped. I wasn't impressed.

Considering what a hot mess it turned into at the final two seasons, the writers should have just say "fuck it" and make that twist ending.

They could have easily done that w/o getting into any legal troubles. Just have the background disappear into a black room with orange grid marks. O'Brien then walks thru the sliding doors and see either Alexander Siddig, or Rosalind Chao waiting just outside.

Wow. Totally missed that myself. Like all above mentioned shows. Smile

I had the complete opposite experience.

I saw a few episodes of Hell on Wheels and wasn't impressed.

Breaking Bad, IMO is one of the best TV series I have ever watched up there with The Sopranos.
