Boardwalk Empire

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

No thread, really?

Just started watching Season 1.... episode 1 is much better than episode 2, but episode 2 has more boobies, so I'll call it a wash.

Steve Buscemi is a corrupt public official who basically runs Atlantic City at the start of prohibition. Things get messy, and there's mob stuff, bootlegging, gambling, etc.

So far it's fun, and hopefully the quality stays good. Not as compelling as GoT so far.

I enjoyed every episode that I watched but from time to time there would be a bit too much relationship and not enough crime/bootlegging.

Yeah, that's how I was feeling with episode 3. I've only watched half, but they really seem to be pressing the relationships more than guns and booze.

I caught a couple odd episodes here and here.... it didn't pull me in enough to bittorrent the first season.

If anyone on this board hasn't seen "Generation Kill", download that shit. Best war related thing HBO has put out since BoB.

Too much relationships indeed, dear god. I just want to see naked women, crimes, shoot-outs, etc.

I don't give a shit if someone feels drawn or attracted to someone else that they feel like they shouldn't be attracted to. Or, why is there a prohibition agent who's been there for 1.5 seasons and never interacted with the main characters? It's like he's his own f'ing side show, about which I care ZERO.

Season 3 had two really good portions, which lots of blood/guns.

Season 4 was perhaps the most compelling season yet. It helped that Nucky wasn't in a serious relationship.

Season 5 is apparently the last season, about to get started on that.

Season 4 was the best season.

Season 5 was... depressing.
