In recent years there has been a tremendous outbreak of better shows being broadcasted. Some of these include Game of Thrones, Boss, The Borgias and obviously this one. I cannot remember the last time I was so impressed with every aspect of a cast of a show. From the regulars who are fantastic and the guest appearances where every actor makes each role their own. Steve Buscemi who I have admired since I first saw him in "Fargo" leads this powerful cast with a logical, smart and when necessary ruthless crime boss who has political influence in many different offices up to the white house and rules Atlantic City as a true emperor.
The production of this show could be discussed and analyzed at length. The look of the show gives that great nostalgic look, that looks like the 20's, with everything from the sets to the dress that the cast wears along with the mannerisms that the cast portrays.
The way that this show connects a cohesive storyline that follows it's characters across the country is phenomenal. It intertwines fictional characters and fictional situations along side with real historical character, such as Al Capone, with such ease and smoothness that it makes the plot even more intriguing. One thing I appreciate in a show like this is when it takes time away from the inevitable plot to focus on and flourish individual character development that improves the story line. It also allows for it's characters the ability to grow.
If recent years have been any indication of where television programs are going then I am impressed. Watching Boardwalk Empire is like watching a movie at the theatre in your own home. It's pertinent, soulful, sad, hopeful and one hell of an entertaining show.
