Cheers for that Punky. Sounds good. I like the style of that era, might be worth a watch.

Damn you, I wanted to start this thread! 
In addition to being made by HBO (itself usually a good indicator of quality), its Executive Producer is Terence Winter (an award winning writer of The Sopranos).
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk_Empire
Official site: http://www.hbo.com/boardwalk-empire
The cast includes Steve Buscemi and The Wire's Michael Kenneth Williams (Omar).
The US première is the 19th of September. I'd assume that Sky will be showing it at some point, thanks to their HBO deal.

re: Boardwalk Empire - season 1
Well I just watched this and I thought it was very good. It was on for 70 minutes though. I thought it was all excellent. The sets, the music, the acting and the writing. I'll be watching it next week.

Nope, but the background music is used quite a bit.

re: Boardwalk Empire - season 1
That's what I like about HBO - they like to take risks and renew shows before it even airs.

re: Boardwalk Empire - season 1
I didn't think it was that good. Just didn't have a good... 'feel'. The language, acting, story, etc.
I'll stick with it though.
p.s. I do like Stephen Graham but what ever accent he tries to talk in he always sounds like a scouser.

Re: Boardwalk Empire - season 1
Despite winning Best Series and Best Actor (Buscemi) at the Golden Globes, Boardwalk Empire lost out at the Emmys, with its only win being for Best Directing for Scorsese for his Pilot episode.
