Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Series (Blu-ray)

A really good series to watch and enjoy.

One of the better HBO specials.

This is a review of the product, not the program (which I loved). Date of review 05/13/19.BOARDWALK EMPIRE on DVD. The entire broadcast consists of full color 56 episodes on 19 DVD discs. It includes over 4 hours of extras including a 58 minute extra bonus DVD. The Bonus DVD explains how much blue screen editing was done during the 5 season run. Example: A full scale boardwalk was built from original plans and photos of a portion of the original boardwalk. It was 4 stories high and 300 yards long. (In NYC) Blue Screen editing was done on many episodes showing the ocean. One explosion scene was shot with blue screen editing, then layered 26 layers deep before the actual explosion destroyed the set.DVD’s are high quality. Each DVD is broken down into 3-4 episodes, with PLAY ALL or Play individual episodes. PLAY ALL skips all the fluff. Playing one at a time offered a brief summary, editors commentary play or the episode uninterrupted.There is a 58 minute producers DVD worth watching with behind the scenes information (such as how the actor was notified he was dying in the future).With 5 seasons there are 5 plastic book-like DVD packages which are sturdy. Those are contained in a nice carboard box display. That is further enclosed in another open top/bottom cardboard box. A 6x8 carboard summary card is included.I’m giving the quality 5 stars. I enjoyed the show as well

I love this series. Pretty to watch, good acting, really smart writing. Each season kept me on the edge of my seat, loved it. This is one I will never tire of.

Enjoyed the show. Recommend buy from seller

Very well packaged and aesthetically pleasing complete bluray set of the slow burning but brilliantly acted HBO series. Sometimes historically accurate and sometimes not, this is a great depiction of Atlantic City during the prohibition period.

I missed this show when it was originally telecast. I got it because I am interested in history in general, and the 1920s in particular. Everything works! The staging, costumes and sets, as well as the cars and music are 100% authentic. The development of organized crime in this country is particularly well depicted, from the suave Arnold Rothstein to Luciano and Lansky. One thing I really liked was the development of the characters of Lansky and Luciano from young and brash to older, colder and more lethal.Acting is so good that it is easy to forget that this is a fictionalized version of history However, this is not for the sensitive or squeamish: the violence is graphic and so is the sex. These things don't trouble me, because they are part of human nature and part of the "Roaring Twenties".Disc quality is perfect; sound is crisp and clear.Perfect for binge watching. I suspect a second watching is in the near future, because it is that good!

I am very disappointed with this purchase I love the show but on season 1 disk 4 there is some screen issues more the half way through episodes 10. I am very disappointed the first disks ran smoothly, I don't know why this is happening I have not touched the disks where it reads it. Will not be buying movies or tv shows on Amazon again very disappointed. Spending lots of money for this and it end up not working properly hopefully this is the only disk will be watching them all and keeping updated if it continues I will contact the seller and ask if I can possible give them the disks that are screwed and they can give me new ones

Went through All the BRAND NEW Discs for Inspection as per Usual, and what do I Find...???Season 4 - 3 of the 4 Discs-1st One in Particular, with a Score Mark, and an Actual Visible Fingerprint.I can't Justify this Violation of My Hard Earned Money...Especially since I went through a Long Debate about Buying It in the 1st Place.I Expect a Full Untouched Replacement of That Season!

Boardwalk Empire is in my top 10 favorite television series. It gets it right on all counts. Great actors and characters. The plot is solid. I'm disappointed that this series couldn't go at least 8 seasons but it ended on a great note. The Blu-ray set itself comes with a decent solid box and not your typical flimsy cardboard box. The set was packaged with care with zero damage on arrival. I'm very happy with my set. I highly recommend this series to everyone. Get yours today

We are so happy with this purchase. Have been wanting to buy the series for quite some time but price was quite high - but now with the great sale price we finally have it for our collection.This is an exceptionally well produced series - the set designs and attention to period (era) detail of Prohibition Time in Atlantic City is outstanding. The story line grabs your attention and keeps you wanting more with each episode. Steve Buscemi does a fantastic job portraying the ruthlessly corrupt Atlantic County City Treasure Nucky Thompson, who carries enormous political clout and has his illegal fingers in everyone's pockets. And when they don't play the way Nucky wants - well let's just say he has his way of convincing them otherwise.Highly recommend this series. Well worth the price - on sale or not.

The box of the set arrived with every corner busted, a chip on the inside box picture. Every case of season was dirty inside and every cd was dirty/had marks and scratch on them. It's hard to get a good picture of this since it's a reflective item, but it was evidently dirty/used. This whole set is clearly used. I sent it back as soon as I opened it. Really disapointing, considering I also now noticed wamart sells it for less...
