HBO’s BOARDWALK EMPIRE
Critics have gotten a look the first episodes of HBO’s new series, Boardwalk Empire, based on the book by Nelson Johnson about Atlantic City during Prohibition (and, appropriately, published by a New Jersey publisher, Plexus Publishing). The reaction, according to the Washington Post, is a “love fest.”
The series begins September 19, with a season of twelve episodes.
Based on this trailer, there may be a new catch phrase in the making.

I don;t know what everyone is drooling over apart from the costumes here. Boardwalk Empire opener doesn’t have the passion of Carnivale or Deadwood, the two other HBO period pieces that rocked the house.
Hope it improves.
