After the Civil War tore North and South apart, America was repaired by a union of East and West through the Union Pacific Railroad.
That’s the history lesson behind Hell on Wheels, the latest creation from the cable broadcaster that brought us such distinguished programs as Breaking Bad, Mad Men and The Walking Dead — and The Killing, which is a bizarre, compelling, idiotic, utterly watchable entity in its own right.

The Center for Disease Control is gone, hope is elusive and zombies are still everywhere.
AMC’s zombie hit The Walking Dead returned on Oct. 16 to an ecstatic 7.3 million viewers and Season Two starts just where Season One left off.
