Hell on Wheels (2011)

Hell on Wheels features Eva Toole, a prominent bisexual character whose identity is portrayed with dignity and complexity. Her relationships with women are shown as a natural part of her life, integrated into her resilient character arc without being sensationalized or condemned. The series avoids harmful stereotypes, presenting her bisexuality as one facet of a strong, independent woman navigating the challenging frontier.

The show includes a scene where Eva, a female character, successfully defends herself in close-quarters combat against a male attacker by using a knife, resulting in his defeat.

The show consistently exposes the hypocrisy, fanaticism, and moral failings of many Christian characters and institutions on the frontier. While some individuals strive for good, the narrative frequently highlights the gap between Christian ideals and the brutal, often self-serving actions of its adherents.
