Boardwalk Empire…new favorite show

I watched the first episode and wasn’t really into it so stopped it about 40 minutes in. But about a week ago a friend of my husband’s said the show is really, really good but starts out slow. So we gave it another shot and I’m so glad I did. It’s got a really strong plot line, characters and acting. And part of what drew me in initially is that it’s set in the prohibition era and I love shows that are engaging and give you an some insight into another time.

Favorite character is Jimmy Darmody - maybe it’s cause Michael Pitt is hot. :) either way, I’m invested in his storyline and seeing what happens to him. Also love Kelly MacDonald. Least favorite character is Lucy Danziger - Paz de la Huerta does a great job of creating a character that you want to drop off the Atlantic City pier….

If you haven’t been watching - catch up on-demand on HBO.
