The second episode is better than the first one. I hope they'll continue this line.
It's a great serie, but it has its vulnerabilities. Its greatnest is the magnificant setting, good acting, interesting characters. Its weakness is that it feels more of the same and the storyline is not solid. At times it's slow paced and close to boring. But somehow I'm still looking forward to each new episode. But I'm not sure if this serie will survive a third season. Let's hope that it will as it has great potential.
I was hoping/expecting that they would include more characters of the New York underworld, like Masseria, Bugsy Siegel, and here they are. If this serie will hold on long enough they may cover the whole period from 1920 till Luciano's rise to underworld kingpin.
the episode was great with jimmy and white. yea it was great that they put bugsy in, but what's with him yelling in jimmy's face like that?
also too when was luciano's rise? along with that when was capone's rise?
Take away from last night's episode:
1)Don't insult/jump bad with Mr. Chalky White. Cause you might get hurt. I liked the looking around the room and reminding people of loyalties owed. There was a similar scene in Game of Thrones with Catelyn/Tyrion.
2) Don't let Jimmy get too close. He's a very skilled knifeman.
I think the stuff with Bugsy was to "show, not tell". He was supposed to be a little off, a little crazy, fearless. So I thought they showed it effectively.
Capone was the formal boss in Chicago by 1925.
Luciano was a very important gang leader on the East Coast by 1925 as well but still had to step carefully around Masseria and Maranzano, who arrived in the US around 24-25.
