Boardwalk Empire

This past Sunday Boardwalk Empire premiered to much hype on HBO.  And like most television shows and not very surprisingly, I liked it.  I do wish I would have waited to watch the first season on dvd.  I tend to like HBO shows when I can sit there and watch all day.  All day marathons are how I watched all of the Sopranos, Six Feet Under and True Blood (up to this point).  I am not saying I am slow or dense but the amount of characters and plot lines in all these shows can be very confusing and it is far easier to follow when watching in one sitting. 

Boardwalk Empire executive producer Terence Winter, of Sopranos fame is a St Johns Law graduate. I dont know why or if that is important but that is my fun fact of the day.

I think this show is going to be great.  Many people I know who watched the show, including my watching buddy and myself, were confused or didnt follow at some points, but I am confident it will get easier (think about the Soprano characters) 


Also the clothes are pretty and so is this guy. 

Word has it has already been renewed for a second season.  http://gawker.com/5644039/boardwalk-empire-renewed-for-second-season-already
