“I think there’s no one else in the all the world; there’s only you and me.” (Gillian) Okay, I’m not going to beat a dead horse for long, other reviewers have done this already. But please do allow me this short rant: […]
“How Nucky shoes be fitting these days?” (Chalky) If you say you didn’t see it coming, you’re pretty much blind. Sure, it’s HBO – if Boardwalk Empire were a network show, Angela’d been dead ages ago. But, even with HBO’s budgets, a […]
“Got caught in the wrong cookie jar.” (Nucky) After having given it some thought, I’m absolutely stunned at the fact this episode was just as disjointed as I thought it was going to be. It’s obvious: in an episode with Nucky in […]
“My brother. He’s smarter than you are. And a lot more dangerous.” (Eli) What an episode. What an episode! Sure, it was all set-up for the season’s final five episodes, but what a set-up it was! This was Boardwalk Empire as we’ve […]

“I didn’t spend my life getting groped by a bunch of drunks to wind up in a goddamn poor house.” (Gillian) What an unexpected episode. Like a fait divers, we got treated to a season changer in the form of a stroke. […]
“I will ruin you.” (Nucky) Allow me to start this review with a sexist statement: the first thing I noticed about this episode that it was directed by a woman: Susanna White. Immediately, my mind started racing: what could a female touch […]
“Look around, big brother. What do you got?” (Eli) What a bad-ass follower to the stunning season 2 premiere. A bit more action, a bit more plot and a little faster narrative tempo was all it needed, apparently. It gives us the […]
