Buscemi is playing a crooked politician, not a gangster.. I think he pulls it off pretty well.

I love Buscemi, he's just fun to watch, like Christopher Walken or John Malkovich.
BTW: who makes the best psycho character of those three guys? |

Buscemi is a great actor, I'm glad to finally see him be the centerpiece of something.
I've watched about 20 minutes, the quality of the production is just amazing. |

It's great HBO is willing to take the risk to put up this type of period show, re-creating sets and costumes. |

HBO is a subscription service and to my knowledge, does not accept cash for product placement. Doug Ellin recently mentioned this in an article. http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/how_...nOQmgjFX38MnzI Ellin said he couldn't charge for product placements even if he wanted to, because HBO is an advertising-free channel. But he uses real brands the way he uses real celebrities, like Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who was in a recent episode. "I try to keep it as real as possible," said Ellin. That's why E (Kevin Connolly) drinks Belvedere on the rocks and Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon) orders Johnny Walker Blue. "Guys have specific tastes," Ellin observed. |

Some things reminded me instantly of The Sopranos. First, that big brick/or red house. I feel like that's the house Tony kept coming back to when he was on the brink of death (if he had gone in the house, that was symbolic of his passing). Also, the boardwalk scenes, and the opening credits, while anyone is looking out into the ocean, reminds me of Tony's fish dreams.

Saw this on a friends DVR. It was amazing. This looks worth 10 bucks a month.

Apparently, there's a rule on HBO that you must say the work fuck every 90 seconds or so.
It took approx 90 seconds for the first F-Bomb in Boardwalk. I always think HBO drops F-Bombs just because they can. Also there must be gratuitous nudity at some point. There was, full frontal nudity in the funeral parlor scene. And Buscemi gets laid by a chick who keeps screaming Ride 'em Cowboy... NTTAWWT. |
