"Boardwalk Empire" series on DVD

[madmac]

I just started spinning this series on DVD yesterday and I'm really enjoying this! This series takes place in the 1920's during the beginning of Prohibition whereby the corrupt mobsters begin to take over the booze business.

This series feels more like a major motion picture than a TV series when I'm watching it. This series is very well done and well shot, and the period sets, cloths and music are exceptional. Steve Buscemi is cast (Perfectly I might add!) as the corrupt county treasurer of Atlantic City who of course has decided to jump onto the bootleg booze bandwagon in a big way. This is Atlantic City after all.......you can't have no booze there, can you??!!

The character development in this series is exceptional and as a result, you have to stick with it as it sometimes moves a bit slowly to accomplish this. However, deep into the first series I have discovered that it's well worth the ride. 9/10 stars for this well done series. :T

ps....make sure the kids are tucked in and well asleep before spinning this! 8O

It's on my list of things to watch (such a large list). Good to know its quality is so high.

Well I'm deep into season 4 of this series now and still enjoying it very much. Still lots of shootin' and turf wars. One thing I've noticed is that this series is filmed quite 'dark'. By that I mean that to picture appears dark on my TV. At first I thought that my TV bulb (RPTV) was on the way out but when I switch to regular TV, the picture is nice and bright. It's just the way this series is shot and to be honest, it works in this case.........and the hats!!! Gotta' love the hats in this series! It almost makes me wanna' get one !!
