I love the show. Watch it every week. The last two episodes have been outstanding. Loving the whole time period.

Chalky is great. His monologue about his father was quite memorable.

Excellent show. It took me a couple of episodes to get into it, but now it's getting pretty interesting.

Slava · 10-19-2010, 12:20 PM

I stuck with it, and like it more and more. I missed the episode this week though!

i loved Chalky's line of "There comes a point to where if a man keep sticking to his story, he's telling the truth", then showing the severed finger of the KKK guy

Finally started watching Boardwalk. Seems like another top notch HBO show. Maybe it will take a season or two to start getting some of the attention previous HBO shows did. I still can't even force my friends to check out "The Wire", which is pretty sad.

I guess the only issue I have is that it's somewhat predictable, especially when compared to a show like the Sopranos.

I like Michael Pitt. He was great in "The Dreamers", a few years ago.

Also found it very interesting that Rothstein was the guy who helped fix the World Series.

Oh, and the opening music is amazing. Added it to my IPod tonight.

I'm really liking it. Buscemi is brilliant as always.

I love this show. Tonight's episode was fanastic. I'm really glad that I stuck it out when the series was a bit slower earlier on.

Every week this show gets better....

Well considering one is based (rather losely I would imagine) on real people and real events, and the other is complete fiction, that's kind of to be expected.

That being said, I'm really liking this show too.

Another good episode. Van Alden is the creepiest character of them all, oddly enough.

d_phaneuf · 12-03-2010, 11:10 AM

So with the season finale this weekend how is everybody liking the show?

I think it's great, first few episodes were a little on the slow side but they set up the characters really well. And ever since Jimmy went to Chicago the show has been great in every episode

Knut · 12-03-2010, 11:15 AM

Van Alden is a great character. He is really starting to crack and go pyschotic.

Komskies · 12-03-2010, 11:18 AM

Ya, Van Alden lost it last week. It's going to be interesting to see Eli's response to being canned by his brother.

RW99 · 12-03-2010, 11:39 AM

Yeah, definitely quite a few twists to set up the finale. Van Alden, Eli, Margret, Jimmy and his wife. I really hope they don't leave too much hanging off the finale.

Igottago · 12-03-2010, 11:55 AM

So many interesting characters in this show, which is what makes it so good. I really like the guy with half a face, and I think Michael Pitt is the star of this show, he's a good actor. Pretty well acted show for the most part. The guy that plays Arnold Rothstein is good as well. The only small criticism is sometimes I actually find some of Steve Buschemi's dialogue a bit forced and unnatural, but only on occassion. Overall a pretty awesome show, can't wait to see what the season finale has in store.

Hanni · 12-03-2010, 01:33 PM

Agree with the last few posts, all I have to add is how hot is Gretchen Mol (Jimmy's mom)

Barnes · 12-03-2010, 03:17 PM

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Season finale already?

This is probably far too late, but they usually air the episode several times through the week.

Additionally if you are on Shaw, you can go into your Video On Demand and go into Movie Central > TV, and you can find the latest few episodes for quite a few shows. Boardwalk, Madmen, etc.

I really like Richard Harrow. (The man with half a face.) I hope he has a bigger role in the next season, if he makes it out of the finale. He's John Huston's grandson and nephew of Angelica Huston.

There are quite a few actors in this show that I would have never expected to be so good.

Komskies · 12-06-2010, 08:45 AM

Quite a way to finish the season off, it just got better and better with each episode. Looks like S2 will start with a bang (in more ways than one).

I wonder what kind of plot Jimmy, Eli, and the Commodore are hatching.

Val Alden creeps me right the 'eff out. I'm about 90% sure he's going to kill a now pregnant Lucy Danziger.
