Boardwalk Empire

Just found out about this new series starting this sunday. Steve Buscemi is in it and the first episode is directed by Scorsese:

Boardwalk Empire Series Premiere Promo (HBO)

Looks good!

Been looking forward to this for a while. Looks like it should be fantastic!

This, along with Game of Thrones, is going to bring back the good ol' days of HBO television - shows to rival the quality of The Wire, Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome.  Thanks for this trailer, I didn't know Omar from The Wire was in Boardwalk Empire.

Just watched the first episode of this.  Absolutely fantastic!  The production values, acting, writing, directing...everything was phenomenal.  Definitely the best HBO show I have seen in a long time.

Its even got Scouse actor and Liverpool fan Stephen Graham playing Al Capone...he's a class actor he is.

I rarely watch TV as it comes out, but I do watch (a lot of) TV DVD box sets, this one may be added to my to get list.  Steve Buscemi, for me, is one of the finest actors of his generation & for me, has always been a reason to watch a film.

Shame he has let himself down, doing some stuff for the s*n.

Been slagged off on a few forums for it.

Just started waching this,lookin' good I must say.

Totally forgot about this. Gonna see if I download some episodes now!

Only just started watching this.

First five episodes watched and I have to say it's class.

I have to say most of the stuff put out by HBO is absolutely top notch and pisses on anything on British tv!

buscemi is the man ,he always looks like an evil f**ker with the mad eyes.

Just watch #4 on letmewatchthis.ch,and I must say totally enjoyed yet another spot on episode.

Finally watched the 1st episode last night. It was late in the night so I was almost falling asleep, I think I've mixed up a few names (too many characters shown in a short space of time ) but it seems to be brilliant, very well produced and directed, really top quality.

Watched the first four episodes a while ago but finally got round to the fifth today and it was as good as the others.

Top quality TV show indeed.

Got the final episode recorded on my Sky box, might just watch it later tonight.

Its very slow paced but I love it!  The acting and production is just phenomenal for a TV show.

Steve Buscemi is the star of the show as Nucky but Michael Shannon is excellent as Van Alden.

As you say Matt the acting is top notch in this.

Just started watching this, very good

The wife (and everyone else I know) have been all over this since last year. I've just started (actually I'm on episode nine already). No excuse really except that I like to go to bed early.

Anyway I'm loving this as much as much as I knew I would. Looking forward to next week when season two begins.

My best friend was out running by his home in Rockaway and ran through a set. Pretty cool.

Good shout.

Need a new 'series' to get in to.

It's a great time in American history and well worth a watch, JD.

Watched the 1st episode ages ago (even posted here about it), but never continued to watch for some reason. I remember I thought it was a very well produced and interesting pilot, will see if I watch it again soon.

I'm on the 6th episode but am in the middle of watching Brotherhood as well and was also watching Walking Dead when I started with this so have lost track a bit.

Must get caught up.

Need a new 'series' to get in to.

Not to steer the thread off topic, but did you ever try Fringe?

I remember there was some mention in that thread.

It's worth a go.

Like I just said in the Walking Dead thread...

Season finale? Anyone?

Can't say I didn't expect it, to be honest. 

Not sure where the show goes from here.
