The series chronicles the life and times of Enoch Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi), the city treasurer whose double role as politician and bootlegger makes him the city's undisputed czar at a time when illegal alcohol has opened up highly lucrative opportunities for rumrunners and distributors. In a city defined by notorious backroom politics and vicious power struggles, Nucky must contend with ambitious underlings, relentless Feds, rival gangsters -- including Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano and Al Capone -- and his own appetite for women, profits, and power.

Boardwalk Empire (2010)
Provisional rating after the first episode. Formally, it’s flawless, of course (what else to expect from Scorsese), but the genre is certainly not my thing, so, just what I expected. What was a nice surprise, though, were the occasional comedic moments. I’ll still give it a chance, but I don’t think I’ll be crazy about Boardwalk Empire.
