Jimmy, we hardly knew ye
Sesson 3 is starting out with the heart cut out of the plot, the charismatic and central Jimmy having been been gratuitously mowed down by the producers at the end of last season. So far, in this episode, BE retains the gorgeous sets and costumes, evocative music and stylish presentation that are a big part of its appeal, but the plot seems to be meandering and it remains to be seen if BE can recapture its former strength.
What's not to like?
This is obviously episodic television, but to my mind it borders on literature/art.
Boardwalk Empire revels in man's corruption, betrayal, sexual excess, prejudice, and pursuit of power for its own sake, with occasional glimpses of charity, love, personal and family loyalty, and incidental furtherance of the public good. Each character becomes the victim of their wrath, greed, pride/vanity, lust, or envy.
Boardwalk Empire is a cautionary tale made believable by realistic characters, sets, locations, and wardrobe.
Enjoy.
Never Fails
For adult crime drama with intelligent scripts and fascinating characters look no further. We enjoy every episode as if it were the first. Can't wait for the next season.
