Boardwalk Empire Simply Brilliant



Bravo, Martin Scorsese! I watched the premiere of Boardwalk Empire last night and I knew it was going to be a hit show 5 mins in. The show is set in the 1920's during the prohibition era in Atlantic City. Steve Buscemi plays Nucky Thompson, a county treasurer who is a little crooked to say the least. I was pleasantly surprised to see Stephen Graham (you may know him from one of my favorite movies Snatch) play Al Capone. What an amazing choice. I predict he will become the unconventional sex symbol (like Tony Soprano was).

This show brings back the one element television has been missing...Great Acting.
