Boardwalk Empire

Has anybody watched this? It's occurred to me that this is probably a show I'd like for sure, yet haven't bothered with yet.

Sopranos? Amazing!

Mad Men? Incredible!

So I'd expect this to be... a bit like both, yeah?

This takes me back a few years, not gone back for a re-watch since but I enjoyed it. I think Steve Buscemi played his character well. I can't compare to the other shows you mention as I haven't watched them but it's woth checking out, It's not something I had to give time to get into, but we are all different.

It's very well made, definitely up there with the best of them. Some INCREDIBLE acting in that show. I was gonna write a short list of who kills their role the most, but it grew too long. Michael K. White, Michael Shannon, the dude who plays Al Capone, all scene stealers.

I don't have many criticisms at all, really. If you are interested in the subject matter, you will find it is a series that delivers. So I'll just say this, one character sucks, "Jimmy Darmody", & he unfortunately eats up a decent amount of screen time in the earlier seasons. Michael Pitt couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag, & he's written to be obnoxious in the first place, so it's a double whammy of suck. Beyond that, well worth watching.
