Title: Another great bad guy
Review: HBO has become the gold standard for top quality, adult entertainment. While good family fare is fun at times, it is nice to have a morally complex character and story. Boardwalk Empire is merely the next one of these shows. Steve Buscemi is amazing in his portrayal of Nucky Thompson, the corrupt, scum ball treasurer of Atlantic City during Prohibition, and the crime boss of all vice in that city. Buscemi, good in almost anything he does, pulls out all the stops in a great leading role. Behold hecwas in danger of being typecast in his Reservoir Dogs type roles, this brings a slimy, unctuous bastard to the small screen that has tons of charisma and nerve. While quite bloody and sexual, as most HBO shows are, it is rarely gratuitous. Hard R territory for you parents out there, but definitely worth a watch.
