Set in the Prohibition era of the 1920s Boardwalk Empire is the story of Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, the treasurer of Atlantic County, Atlantic City, New Jersey. Due to his relationships with mobsters as well as political contacts, the Federal Government start to take an interest in him. His lavish lifestyle seems at odds with his position, and as well as his connections, there is prolific bootlegging in the area. Written by WellardRockard
And they teamed up with Scorsese and Buscemi.
I really liked the pilot, but it was the 2nd episode that really hooked me up!! The characters are so well written, filled with humanity and contradictions.
Most of the dramatic situations are pretty conventional, but, as someone once said: "it is better to start with a cliché than to end with it".
I have no doubt the show will end up being a freshening experience for the crime genre fans.
And no, Nukcy Thompson is not Tony Soprano. This is not a family drama.
This is something else, and thank god they aren't repeating the Sopranos formula, but going in a different direction, which I'm sure give great results :-)
