AMC's Hell on Wheels takes place in the traveling town of Hell on Wheels after the Civil War, during the Union Pacific's construction of the first transcontinental railroad. The show follows former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon, who is out for revenge to find the Union soldier who killed his wife.

The series does a great job of chronicling the way of life after the civil war. It feels true to life and does not shy away from atrocities like the treatment of the newly emancipated African-Americans, or the whore houses and the way women in general were treated at the time, or the brutality of the Indians and what our nation took from them. It really pulls you into the time period and makes you feel like you have been transported there.

It's easy to see that a lot of research was done and care was taken to get the gritty look of the show, from the fully constructed town to the blood and dirt caked wardrobe. If you like historical features, that is one thing the series brings to the table in spades. Hell on Wheels tries to stay true to the events and conditions of the time. The scale of everything feels like a mini movie from week to week.

The Story

When I originally heard that MTV was remaking Teen Wolf, I didn't know what to think. I was glad that the series would be a drama rather than a campy comedy like its predecessor; I don't think that would work very well with today's teen audience.

When it comes to what I watch, I love science fiction, the supernatural, and all that goes with it, including werewolves. I was afraid, however, that created as a show for teens, it might not appeal to an older audience as well. I was glad to be wrong.

The series does have the teenage drama and angst, don't get me wrong, but I didn't feel that it catered only to teen fangirls. It isn't all sappy romance, but thankfully isn't either only about controlling the wolf. It has something for everybody.

Without a doubt Prometheus is a prequel to Alien, but only in classification. See, the Alien series is interesting in that the franchise encompasses multiple genres. Alien was a horror movie set in space, Aliens through Alien Resurrection were action movies in space, the AVP movies were parodies that took themselves seriously with sci-fi back story, but Prometheus is a hard science fiction movie. That is to say, unlike its predecessors it was not meant to scare or to excite, it is meant to inspire thought. I'll tell you right now, if you're going to see it and expecting Aliens, you will be sorely disappointed or bored; however, that's not to say there's not monsters and death, just that those take a back seat. No, this film tries to ask the question, "How you would react if you met your god, and he or she wasn't what you expected?"

Last year's new law drama, Suits, returns to USA Network tonight for its second season. The original series follows Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), law partner at Pearson Hardman, a top Manhattan corporate law firm, and Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), the not-technically legal associate that he hired. Harvey felt Mike, who knows the law inside and out, was valuable to the firm, regardless of the fact that he did not attend law school.

The two kept Mike's background a secret from the firm's partner Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), but at the end of last season, Mike's angry ex-best friend planned to reveal the truth to her.

USA Network's smash hit spy drama Burn Notice returns tonight for its sixth season. The series follows formerly burned spy Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan), who now, no longer black-listed, has been working with the CIA, on special projects, including heading a CIA team. He is joined by his crew, including his on-again / off-again girlfriend, Fiona Glannane (Gabrielle Anwar), ex-navy seal Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell), and burned spy, Jesse Porter (Coby Bell). Led by Michael, the group uses their combined intelligence and skills to outwit the enemies, using whatever is at their disposal, such as creating fake identities for new personas, making bombs, tactical maneuvers, and macgyvering whatever they find into something useful, all for the greater good.
