Its history porn in both senses of the word.But isBoardwalk Empireentertaining you?
Characters dont just talk about future President Warren G. Harding they meet the guy,andhis illegitimate love child.
It reminds me a little bit ofRome, which might be my favorite HBO show.
But plenty of people hatedRome.
(To pick just one example, Michael Stuhlbargs Arnold Rothstein literally gets one scene per episode.
The character seems to exist purely as a showcase for incredible acting.
Then again, you could say the same thing about Sue Sylvester.)
Last weeks episode featured a lesbian twist why not?
A few weeks earlier, little-person boxers went on strike why not?
I kind of like the carnivalesque atmosphere.
Do you, PopWatchers?
Are you watchingBoardwalk Empire?
Do you think the show lives up to its iconic HBO brethren?
Was it always going to be difficult to live up to thatotherNew Jersey mob show?
Am I the only one who really digs all the political stuff?
