I've only really liked Episode 3 and some scenes in episode 1 and 2.
Its a great show. You can tell its from the same pen as the Sopranos. Its that slow-moving build up. The Sopranos was superb but you had to stick with it and get really engrossed so you had feelings for each character. I feel like Boardwalk Empire is doing a good job of that right now and the big plots will really start coming from the end of S2 and onwards. Obviously we all know that at some point Al Capone HAS to be a focal point of the series and its great to know we have all that to come.
I don't care for the characters in Boardwalk Empire like I did with The Sopranos. So when Boardwalk Empire has those scenes that are meant to stand out, I feel empty because I don't really care for the characters. The main difference from Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos is the fact that David Chase isn't part of it. It's an insult to the Sopranos to be even compared to Boardwalk Empire.
God this show is just phenomenal. Every aspect is just absolutely sick. Season 2 has been better than season 1.Spoilers (if you haven't been watching):-Nucky's case looks like it could be heading for trouble since the attorney general seems to be cutting a deal with that senator.-Looks like Mrs. Schroeder is gonna' an affair with Nucky's new muscle (Owen). What a bitch! Lol. Interested to see how this plays out.- Luciano/Mialanski (sp?) with Jimmy & his new Philadelphia muscle looks like they may be aligning and plotting vs. Nucky/Rothstein together. Knew this was coming eventually.- As it looks like Luciano is getting ready for his come up, wonder when Al Capone will make his.- Curious to see if Heroin will be how these guys come up (I know some of you have the answer, I'm not interested in knowing).- Aside from all that, Jimmy has been in over his head lately since his father had the stroke.- Nucky's brother! Wonder what's gonna' happen there. The scene where he smashed that dude's face in with a wrench was nuts.Best show on television right now!
Jimmy is no naive thinking Nucky just peacefully handed him the keys of the city just like that ... the part when Rothsein advised Nicky how to handle the situation was fucking dope
