Enoch Lewis "Nucky" Johnson was an Atlantic City, New Jersey political boss and racketeer. From the 1910s until his conviction and imprisonment in 1941, he was the undisputed "boss" of the political machine that controlled Atlantic City and the Atlantic County government. His rule encompassed the Roaring Twenties when, as a refuge from Prohibition, Atlantic City was at the height of its popularity. In addition to bootlegging, his organization also was involved in gambling and prostitution. The character Nucky Thompson in the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" was loosely based on his life.

It could have been better, sure.. but "a horrible job?" Really? It was one of the greatest series of the last 3 years, and after the Sopranos probably the best one mob-wise. I highly recommend everybody here to watch it since it's really enjoyable, especially if you like the 20s-30s era.

They did a horrible job with that series it could have been so much more...capone with no nitti, Luciano with no costello??? Yeah it was not that good at all. The book was a lot better, and more historically accurate.

Not sure if any of you can access the BBC somehow, but if you can try and watch Peaky Blinders which is superb

Have you ever seen him in "The Take" Mini Series about British gangsters? That was definitely a good show. --You should start a thread on Peaky Blinders----

Tom Hardy is just finishing a film playing both the Kray twins which will be interesting
He's been great in the latest series of peaky blinders
Al Capone and Meyer Lansky were both played by British actors in Boardwalk empire and they did a decent job
British is best....
