Though it hasn't been cancelled, it seems that viewers have seen the last of the Billy & Billie TV show on DirecTV. The satellite television provider recently aired a unique series finale.

Created by Neil Labute, Billy & Billie is a dramedy that revolves around a pair of step-siblings -- Billy (Adam Brody) and Billie (Lisa Joyce) -- as they deal with the consequences of their scandalous romance. The series also stars Jake Lacy, Gia Crovatin, and Phil Burke.

The series premiered in March 2015 and ran for 10 episodes. In December, Labute said that he was hopeful that a second and third season could be made but "it’ll depend on a lot of factors like actors’ availabilities and things like that."

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Tricoast Worldwide via Cloutcom. Director/writer: Russell Friedenberg. Cast: Zane Holtz, Glen Powell, Phil Burke and Rudy Youngblood. Wind Walkers is based on an ancient Native American legend - a wendigo. Mother Nature has created another monster, which is a curse of "the white man." The film offers a weak message on the environment and possibly on the white man's foreign incursions. There is so much white guilt to wade into. As well, the film's pacing is unusually slow and any real conflict is only introduced just past the one hour mark. The remainder of the film is filled full of inane interactions and repetitive dialogue sequences. Some scenes offer nothing, at all. Many scenes, despite the gorgeous cinematography, appear washed out or overly dark. And, the Wind Walkers is not recommended even for the most patient, or masochist of horror fans.

From the films from actor/writer/director Russell Friedenberg that I have seen, it seems – at least to me – like he has a fascination with three things: Native American culture; the human psyche and the personal demons we all have; and the idea of the stranger among us (even if that “stranger” is familiar to us). With Wind Walkers he combines all three subjects in a story that follows group of friends and family as they descend into the Everglades swamplands for their annual hunting trip, only to discover that they are the ones being hunted by a malevolent entity tracking them through the Everglades…

Now the idea of supernatural spirits is nothing new in Native American culture, or in horror movies. However Friedenberg poses...

“I’m going home, Doc”

“Home? This is your home”

Hell on Wheels’ fourth season has been complicated. While mostly disappointing, it has featured moments of great emotional depth and viewers have had to say goodbye to Elam (Common) and Ruth (Kasha Kropinski) in episodes that were deeply effecting and have changed the course of the show and its main character Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) indefinitely.

With nothing seemingly tying him to Cheyenne, and Ruth’s insistence that he go to his wife and son and make it right, Cullen quits his job on the railroad. It’s an odd choice, considering everything he’s given up for it, what and who he has lost. Either he’s running from his guilt and the haunting...

“I murdered that man for no other reason than to end the life of the man who took my son’s”

Anson Mount said in a recent interview that he sees Cullen Bohannon’s story ending with either him losing his soul and winning the world or vice versa. Considering the journey viewers have been on with him for the past four seasons with him, either option seems possible. The show has seen him seek revenge, go on the run, kill because he was trapped, fall in love, lose love, and become a father. We’ve also seen just how ruthless he can be when the situation calls for it. In many ways the railroad has turned him into a completely different person but really that’s what...

Though it has never garnered the ratings or awards clout of dramas like Breaking Bad or Mad Men, AMC’s transcontinental railroad drama Hell on Wheels has proven a reliable performer for the network throughout its four-season run. Now, AMC has opted to give the Anson Mount-led series the same treatment as those aforementioned prestige dramas, renewing it for a fifth and final season of 14 episodes, which will be split across the summers of 2015 and 2016.

The first seven episodes of Hell on Wheels‘ final ride will arrive next summer, at which point the show will break until the summer of 2016.

Given that AMC moved Hell on Wheels to Saturday nights (considered by many to be a graveyard slot) for its third season, there were those who didn’t expect the series to live nearly as long as it has. However, the drama’s fans followed it to Saturday, establishing...

It travels with and services the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. Cullen is ultimately torn between the cycle of revenge he has unleashed over his wife’s death and his tiring of this violence.

AMC has renewed Saturday drama Hell on Wheels for a fifth and final season. Seven episodes will air next summer and the final seven will run on the summer of 2016. The final three episodes of season four start airing tomorrow evening.

“The last time I saw him I spoke to him in anger”

Sydney Snow (Johnathon Scarfe) disappeared at the end of “Two Trains”, escaping Cullen (Anson Mount), Mickey (Phil Burke), and Durant (Colm Meany) during their brutal shootout. But the villain still hangs over the show, especially in “Return to Hell”, Hell on Wheels’ mid-season finale.

“Two Trains” brought a war to Cheyenne, and the ominous sight of Cullen walking his men back into town as Campbell watches from his room and Sydney watches from a hilltop makes one thing clear- the war is far from over. Sydney now seems like a viable and immensely dangerous threat, especially after his unhinged actions in “Two Trains”, and even more frightening is what he brings out in Cullen.

“I looked into his eyes and saw a wickedness that has yet to be unleashed”

Hell on Wheels has had a difficult fourth season. There have been excellent episodes like “Elam Ferguson” and the introduction of brilliant new characters like Campbell (Jake Weber), but with only four episodes left in the season it seems like Hell on Wheels has no real direction. Strong acting and interesting characters haven’t been able to save the season from its aimlessness.

“Two Trains” ranks with “Elam Ferguson” as one of the season’s best episodes. It is a quickly paced, violent, down and dirty episode full of great moments, exceptionally clever directing, and excellent performances. This is the Hell on Wheels viewers have come to expect and love.

Last year, AMC moved Hell on Wheels to Saturday nights, leading many to believe the show would be cancelled.

“Wouldn’t be wise to kick a man while he’s down- he’s liable to kick back”

Last week’s episode of Hell on Wheels, “Reckoning”, was a slow and disappointing entry. There were great moments but given how exceptional the first three episodes of the season were, “Reckoning” left much to be desired. “Life’s a Mystery” is better but it’s also very heavy-handed and uneven.

This episode has an unusual structure with a campy and rather unnecessary opening set in Juarez, Mexico. While stylish, the whole thing feels out of place. Grit and realism have always been what’s made Hell on Wheels special, so this hyper and bloody opening, complete with slow motion, doesn’t feel like Hell on Wheels.

What people are willing to do in order to survive has always been a driving force for Hell on Wheels. It’s been there from the beginning, often used as a stepping stone to something else. Season four has made this concept the show’s main focus. Cullen (Anson Mount) has, from day one, been a brutal man, walking a dangerous line between morality and survival. Really, most of the show’s characters have. How cruel and far away from humanity can one person get all in the name of survival?

We see this idea littered all over “Reckoning”. Durant (Colm Meaney) is willing to bet on Cullen again because he knows that Cullen is his best option. Campbell (Jake Weber) is another great example. He has set about...

“Blood will be spilled, that’s for sure”

Besides Elam’s (Common) survival, how exactly Cullen (Anson Mount) will escape The Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) is season four’s biggest question. It’s what fans have wondered about since the end of last season, when the gates of that Mormon compound closed and Cullen was forced to marry Naomi (MacKenzie Porter). Now that he is a father and husband, escaping The Swede has become his top priority. Viewers have been expecting a lot, but few likely predicted what this episode delivers. But more on this later.

Hell on Wheels hit a series high last season and its fourth season premiere last week made it seem like it was going to continue that streak. Thankfully, “Escape from the Garden” doesn’t disappoint.

“Some people don’t want to be pulled out of the mud, Mr. Durant”

There’s a very strong argument to be made that along with Hannibal, AMC’s Hell on Wheels is one of the most underrated dramas on television right now. Over the course of three seasons, the show has moved from a historical drama to a deeply moving and fascinating character study that just happens to be set during the building of one of America’s greatest accomplishments, the building of the Union Pacific Railroad. Its muddy and vicious camp is inhabited by rich and thrilling characters, the storylines continue to capture the viewer’s attention, and our lead, a man often struggling with a dark world and the darkness within himself, is an endlessly fascinating and evolving character.

In the season three finale of AMC’s Hell on Wheels, Elam (Common) went searching for kidnapped Cullen (Anson Mount) and stumbled upon a bear instead. Out of bullets, he was last seen losing that battle. Considering Common’s not in the first official cast photo released for season four (click here for the full version), fans might worry he’s off the show for good. Those who caught him photographed at the cast and crew’s season 4 kickoff dinner, though, may assume Elam’s back. Exec producer John Wirth confirms it: “He survives the bear attack, but I think...

It seems Labute had a positive experience working with Alice Eve in Some Velvet Morning because here she is again headlining his cast. While Broderick can certainly enhance a film when cast correctly (think Alexander Payne’s Election), we’re curious to see what’s really going on here. Knowing Labute, there’s some trick up his sleeve, hopefully the kind that has a generous payoff. 2013 was something of a return for Labute, with Velvet and the adaptation of his play, Some Girl(s) from Daisy von Scherler Mayer both being worthwhile indie features. We’re happy to see him continuing with his own work rather than the odd remakes.

The third season of AMC’s Hell on Wheels has been its best yet- powerful, quick witted, thrilling, and consistently entertaining. Director Neil Labute, who directed one of the season’s most effective episodes, “Searchers”, returns to the season finale.

We’ve seen Cullen (Anson Mount) in desperate situations before but him being held prisoner in Fort Smith basically at the mercy of the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) is terrifying. We know as an audience all the terror and suffering that he has caused and Cullen’s stunned, “my God” is more than apt. This season has been building towards a Cullen and Swede confrontation and their first scene together is one of the best of the night.

Airs Saturdays at 9pm (Et) on AMC

“It Happened in Boston” picks up directly where last week’s Hell on Wheels ended, with Elam (Common) returning from burning the cholera victims to find that Eva (Robin McLeavy) has given away their baby. This moment from last week is one of the episode’s biggest issues. How could a mother, even one as conflicted as Eva, just hand over her child? True, a place like the Hell on Wheels camp isn’t the best place to raise a child, but something about the decision just doesn’t ring true to the character, especially after the kidnapping left her so devastated. Elam’s reaction, falling into the bottom of a bottle and kicking Eva out, is understandable. He’ll never get Rose back, but even more painful for him,...

We thought Mickey (Phil Burke) made it clear he was through with his brother Sean (Ben Esler) last week after he helped him dispose of the senator Durant (Colm Meaney) shot. But Sean is back again asking for help in Saturday’s episode of Hell on Wheels because Sen. Metcalf’s absence has raised questions and Durant, as we know, has no problem pointing a finger elsewhere. Watch a sneak peek below.

With only three episodes left before the season finale, Hell on Wheels has taken Cullen (Anson Mount) to the point of near death and face to face with the young Mormon boy that lost his family at the hands of the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl).

As a heat wave sweeps through the camp, rats and snakes take refuge in the town’s water supply which eventually leads to a cholera outbreak that catches up with Cullen. “Cholera” is certainly about the actual physical illness, but it seems to be more about imaginary ailments. Durant (Colm Meaney) spends the majority of the time having a pity party for himself after killing his U.S. Senator partner and Eva (Robin McLeavy) is suffering from what appears to be postpartum depression.

Airs Saturdays at 9pm (Et) on AMC

With the exception of last week’s episode, Hell on Wheels has been the best it’s ever been and “Searchers” might just be the season’s greatest episode. Directed by Neil Labute, the highly emotional episode notches up the usual tension, fear, urgency, and sadness to an almost unbearable level.

Season three’s greatest accomplishment, so far, has been its further exploration of characters who until recently were almost always relegated to the background. We already know that Cullen (Anson Mount) is a complex character but Elam’s fierce, single minded approach to finding his daughter is perfectly played by Common.

After a season full of massive character development, dirt, and an on coming storm, Hell on Wheels comes to a head with a two hour season finale that is nothing short of a blood bath.

Beginning with the town in carnage, most of the buildings burned to the ground. “We’re just trying to understand what happened here”, a railroad official tells a haggard Cullen. “The White Spirit,” Cullen (Anson Mount) responds. Most of the episode is told in flashback, recounted by Cullen to the men from the railroad company.

Chicago – AMC’s watchable western series “Hell on Wheels” is just good enough to sustain audience interest despite its meandering plot. As soon as Gustavo Santaolalla’s catchy theme music kicks in over the brooding title sequence, it’s effortless to become absorbed within Joe and Tony Gayton’s handsomely photographed dramatization of the first transcontinental railroad’s epic construction in 1865.

The most intriguing aspect about the series is how it parallels the expansion of the railroad with the colonization of America itself, and how necessary progress was forged by men with little more on their minds than self-serving greed. Financier Thomas Durant (Colm Meaney) has figured out an excellent way to make a fortune off the railroad with the help of government subsidies. Since he’s being paid $16,000 per mile, he intends to add as many arcs and curves to his railroad as possible, rather than have it chug straight to its destination.
