Television Boardwalk Empire

Anyone watching out for this? It's scheduled to premiere on September 19.

Scorsese has been involved in the production of the series' first season, and the subject matter focuses on gangsters in Atlantic City during the beginning of Prohibition. It has great promise.

 

[Alex]

Yep even made a thread about it

 

[ha_rooney]

Sounds interesting, is it being shown in the UK on Sept. 19 or is that the US date?

 

[Decotron]

few days now...........

 

[GDH]

Looking forward to this. Buscemi starring got my attention, Scorsese directing the pilot and I'm sold.

 

[GingerPrince11]

Looks good, I think I will give it a watch when the seasons done, too much shows starting up soon, to keep track of them all.

 

[Alex]

Tony B and Butchie aged well considering they look the same age in 2007 as they did about 90 years before

 

[Alex]

Really enjoyed, I think Steve Buscemi is an excellent actor, the lad has moxy

 

[Bear Attack]

HBO - Check
Scorcese - Check
Gangsters - Check

This is going to be fecking epic.

 

[Donut]

It was fantastic The Jimmy actor is Brad Pitt's brother, reminds me of Di Caprio for some reason.

 

[RedLars]

Hells yeah, I'm gonna watch this. When the season is over, anyways. I like to binge on a good show, watch a season in a day or two. How many episodes have they scheduled for the first season?

 

[Bear Attack]

Yeah, I was going to do that but I told myself I would probably commit suicide if I didn't have some good shows to watch now that Entourage is over (Until next summer) and I'm finishing True Blood.

 

[Decotron]

Anyone see the first episode? I thought it was excellent. Cast looks very good.

 

[Decotron]

HBO have announced a 2nd season already after the success of the pilot.

Get watching it, I think its going to be up there with The Sopranos and The Wire........

 

[MrMarcello]

I didn't like the pilot episode that much so hopefully it will get better.

 

[Solius]

What's it about?

 

[mr.suave]

Thought the first episode was class. Got a good feeling about this one, it looks really good.

 

[RedLars]

What's it about?

Prohibition Era gangsters in and around Atlantic City, I think. Haven't watched it yet, though.

 

[Leg-End]

Prohibition Era gangsters in and around Atlantic City, I think. Haven't watched it yet, though.

That's exactly what it is, created and written by Terence Winter one of the main writers of The Sopranos.

I loved the first episode.

 

[jdmufc]

just downloaded this, gonna watch it tonight

 

[mariachi-19]

Rapidshare link?

 

[mariachi-19]

Everytime I see that HBO thing.


Just watched the first episode. The links between this and the soprano's style wise is quite prevalent which by no means is a bad thing .

I wonder if we'll see any links between these guys and the DiMeo crime family.

 

[Moz]

Can't wait to see this show. I'm going to watch it later tonight. Hope it's as good as people are saying it is.

 

[mariachi-19]

anybody have a rapidshare copy of episode 3. I would be highly disgusted of course.

 

[CLK_FPC]

Just watched 2 going an episode a day might watch 3 tonight if I'm bored though

 

[McLovin]

All three episodes have been class IMO.

The show's also been renewed for a second season.

 

[Solius]

I watched the first episode last night, really enjoyed it. Stephen Graham still manages to make Al Capone sound slightly scouse though.

Yup, his accent wavers

As for the rest of the show, it's okay, it isn't must see tv yet

 

[Donut]

It has massive potential though.

 

[jveezy]

Just finished episode 2.

 

[Burndogg]

Looking like a cracking show so far.

 

[redspoony]

When is this on in the UK?

 

[mariachi-19]

Cracking episode four. Not for the feint of heart bit or gore.

 

[McLovin]

Cracking episode four. Not for the feint of heart bit or gore.

Agreed. Great TV.

 

[mariachi-19]

Am I the only one that doesn't think much of nuckies missus? Rocking bod, but face like a smacked arse. Mrs Thompson is miles better.

I reckon Nuckies brother is going feck up badly at some point. No idea whats going to happen to Jim, his story has changed a little. I'd say he'll be back at some point.

Two things they really ought to tie in more is the New York mob and old mate with the clap, and the old bootlegger that went to prison after getting caught. They seem to just randomly put these scenes in with no real tie to the main story.

 

[Leg-End]

It's hard not to watch this and not just mentally announce the names of all The Sopranos characters, its like "oh theres Butch, oh theres Benny and that Italian speaking crackhead". Loving it so far though, Buscemi is doing a great job and heading for an emmy.

 

[Solius]

Didn't like the latest ep that much. For some reason it feels like something is missing so far. I'm enjoying it of course but despite the violence, nudity, great scenes and acting, something doesn't feel right atm.

 

[Iron Stove]

Best show on TV nowadays.

 

[mariachi-19]

Didn't like the latest ep that much. For some reason it feels like something is missing so far. I'm enjoying it of course but despite the violence, nudity, great scenes and acting, something doesn't feel right atm.

For me, it doesn't have the Doctor Melfi type character and her role in the story. I think most people who watch this have watched the Sopranos and we already have a predisposed opinion on how it should be set out as they really are similar, but its not.

 

[Solius]

Really liked the latest episode. I also like that masked sniper guy Jimmy became pals with. He's creepy in a cool way.
