Boardwalk Empire

In the first episode, we go to the movie theater to see Roscoe Arbuckle, and in the second episode, we get a model of Doug Fairbanks' mustache from The Mark of Zorro. Very satisfying. Once again, the great soundtrack and humor and eroticism and costumes and sets and sirens from ancient Greece! And Steve! The third episode is on the Flo Ziegfeld and Eddie Cantor wave... yummy. :) The carnival continues with Broken Blossoms and Lilian Gish, Mae Murray, and The Taming of the Kaiser Bull. Then Lucy wanted to go see the new version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but it was already too late. And their authentic porn burned. Then, when Margaret changed, the cliffhanger came like a bitch.

Season 4 has just begun, so drop everything else and become a viewer of the dramas of 1924. Because Nucky decided to expand to Tampa. This whole heroin adventure had reached such a melancholy point that it was almost impossible to endure. Everyone was already so beautifully resigned to their fate and no one came out of it well. My dear Atlantic City... (09/01/2019)

Season 5 goes on to conclude the story of Nucky Thompson from the woods, the present day is 1931 and the very supporting flashbacks from 1884-97 add deliciously to the development of his personality. Capone and co. luxuriously comment on gangster movies in the style of Little Caesar and The Public Enemy. Nucky's life is no longer fulfilling - his era has passed. If you don't want the bliss to wear off, put a trio of over-the-top soundtracks in your ear and read the book. (09/01/2019)
