Product Description Atlantic City, 1921. In a city whose fortunes have soared in the wake of Prohibition, Nucky Thompson is paying a steep price for wielding ultimate power in “the world’s playground.” Though the 1920 election is over, Nucky finds himself the target of a federal investigation for vote tampering – and an insurrection by those he counted among his closest allies. Steve Buscemi stars in the hit drama series that charts the continued rise of organized crime at the dawn of the Prohibition. .com With every character on HBO's Boardwalk Empire leading a double life, season two is about making changes or facing the consequences. The stylish series also digs deeper into the futility of Prohibition, much as The Wire tackled the War on Drugs. The central figure, Atlantic City treasurer Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi), aims to please all of his constituents, but loses several powerful supporters after bootlegger Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams) kills a Klansman. Estranged from his brother, Eli (Shea Whigham), and former assistant, Jimmy (Michael Pitt), Nucky and his common-law wife (Kelly Macdonald) become more of a team. If domesticity suits Nucky, FBI agent Van Alden (Michael Shannon) looks askance at drinkers and nonbelievers, even as he holes up with Nucky's pregnant ex-girlfriend (Paz de la Huerta, the weakest link in an otherwise strong cast), while his wife remains in the Midwest. With enemies like the Commodore (Dabney Coleman) trying to remove him from office, Nucky hires Irish Lothario Slater (Charlie Cox), who helps to keep the booze flowing, meting out the occasional head-butt as necessary. Other new arrivals include a brutal butcher (William Forsythe) and a persistent federal prosecutor (Julianne Nicholson), who wields more power than the other wives and girlfriends combined, though Jimmy's mother (Gretchen Mol) becomes more Machiavellian by the minute. Nucky also joins forces with Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg), while Jimmy aligns with Al Capone (Stephen Graham) and Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazza). Of course, it wouldn't be a gangster epic without casualties, and several men give in to their darker impulses, resulting in some spectacularly bloody business--including the murder of a major character. Also, heroin enters the picture towards the end of the 12-episode arc and seems likely to play a bigger, more destructive role in the next season. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Another great season with truly talented actors
The main actor in the series delivers another amazing performance as the man who basically controls all the business. The twist turns and typical who going to win in the end of the season guys you are rooting for or the bad guys who you love to watch and yet hate at the same time. Never spoil the show by saying what happens just know you're in for a wild ride that never saw coming mind-blowing season. Buy this now and see why I said that last line.

BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES
When I see an historical movie I want to see authenticity from haircuts to clothing. Boardwalk empire satisfied me many times over, as I tend to be a nonforgiving stickler for detail. I can't stress enough how delightful it was to see a production whose researchers knew what they were talking about. The styles changed with the passage of years. The cars were beautiful to behold. But the delicious icing on the cake was the music. Everything was in it's correct era of popularity. Barney Google was perfectly and psychotically sung. Japanese Sandman was authentically played on the uke as it would have been. I could go on with more examples, but the proof of the pudding was "Does Your Spearmint Lose Its Flavor". This is an obscure song from the 20s which later had to be re titled due to copyright concerns to "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor". In 1960 it was a hit song by Lonnie Donergan. Thanks for not insulting my intelligence by using the later title. It was wonderful to see such a well done historical production. Good on you!

Another good season
It is a good follow up to the first season. Again I find it slow at times, so it is not perfect.
