I didn't realize there was a thread already and I originally posted this in the movie/tv thread:



I just watched Boardwalk Empire last night. While it was on at 10:00 and I was half asleep, I did find it pretty good. It was the pilot episode which I think is the only one that's aired thus far no??

I don't know the characters names (aside from the main character) but it sure brings us back to what although is not that far back in our history, an interesting era.

I too find the setting and backdrop of the 1920's to appear so authentic. Not that I was around during that time mind you, tongue but it does seem so believable. I'm thinking perhaps it's because of Scorsese's direction it appears so well-done. I like to look at little background details smile .



Edit to add:


Since I was half asleep the first time I saw it again yesterday afternoon and enjoyed it even more. There were a couple things I missed.....Like Al Capone AND I must have been dozing when they killed that POS wife abuser. I still love the setting. It seems to take you there.

One thing I hate about HBO shows though is......will we have to wait a freekin' year or longer between seasons?
