MEAN and MASSIVE

I have titled this post “Good Bye, James Darmody”, but there are so many other titles that come to mind. “The Marriage Of Margaret Thomson”, for example. But the last two episodes of the second season of Boardwalk Empire  gave us so much of James, that two things were certain: 1. it was, indeed, the season of Jimmy, and his story became [...]

HBO have now released a new trailer for Season 2 of their highly acclaimed series Boardwalk Empire, which sees Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson, played by the brilliant Steve Buscemi, starting to show definite signs of paranoia.

SEB: boardwalk empire season 2 spoilers When Boardwalk Empire season 1 premiered, HBO had released a time-lapse video that showed how the set for the show was built. It was an incredible video, so I post it here below. Now, before season 2 begins, the network has released a video that is titled ‘invitation to [...]

HBO has released the first tease trailer for Boardwalk Empire season 2. It’s fast, too fast to make any story out of it, but a few things are clear: Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) is the lead, maybe, but Jimmy (Michael Pitt) gets more screen time. Jimmy wants more. It’s that time in history for the [...]

SEB: tca awards nominees Later this summer we will hear what the Television Critics Association loved most this year. This year’s TCA Awards would be hosted by Parks and Recreation‘s Ron Swanson – Nick Offerman (so no matter what the critics chose, it’s going to be a hell of an event). A group of around [...]

After listing my Best 5 New TV Series Of 2010, it’s time to check how the older and wiser series are doing. Of course it’s a tough call to make, as there are many good shows that are still on, and in some cases the more they’re here the harder it gets to really appreciate [...]

Not in any specific order, here is my choice for 2010 Best New TV Series: Terriers – Why: Terriers had maybe low ratings, but the critics, and the people who did love it, know exactly why. It looks you in the eyes, it respects you. Everything you see in Terriers is real, every drop of [...]

This war ends here. -Nucky Thompson What a great episode of Boardwalk Empire, a brilliant finish to a brilliant first season. HBO proved again they can mix blood and style to perfection, and this remains the case also in an episode with many happy, or almost happy, moments. If The Walking Dead gave us a [...]

HBO just released two more promos for Boardwalk Empire season 1 finale. The first preview clip for ‘A Return To Normalcy‘ showed the intensity of the episode, and the pressure that Nucky Thompson have to face at the end of this first impressive season of Boardwalk. Those second and third preview clips, however, are quiet [...]

Now I have to decide how much sin we can live with -Nucky Thompson The preview HBO released for episode 12, the season’s finale, does not tell much about what is going to happen. With such intensity and changes that occured in last week’s episode, Paris Green, the finale must include some noise. And at [...]

Boardwalk Empire showed us what intensity means. Episode 11 was one of the best episodes in the season so far, with many strong scenes and unpredictable plot turns. I love the way the writers keep bringing us information about the past slowly, information that creates new meanings to the action on the screen. ‘Paris Green‘ [...]

Margaret confronts Nucky about his share in the death of her late husband; The escape to Paris leaves Jimmy exposed; And it seems like Agent Alden is planning a last minute’s job for his guys. For sure the next [...]

Margaret had a look in the mirror. She did well on her speech to the women, told them to use their newly gained right wisely and choose the best man for the job. The men, including Nucky, were very pleased with her speech. At the end of the episode Nucky told Margaret: ‘You had those [...]

In the preview for next week’s episode of Boardwalk Empire, tension continues to build. With only 3 episodes left, Nucky’s time is running out. With the election just around the corner, and the sudden replacement of their candidate, it seems like all is open and anything could happen at the finale of Boardwalk Empire. Last [...]

This week’s episode of Boardwalk Empire proved again that HBO is very much alive and kicking years after The Sopranos got their lights switched off. 1920 is the year of the ladies, as the future mayor declared in Nucky’s ears, and the women did get quite an episode this week. After watching the preview for [...]

In the nest episode of Boardwalk Empire, things get a little tougher. It’s the last third of the first season, and the tension starts to build, coming at Nucky from all sides. After Boardwalk’s episode 8 put the seeds in the bleeding ground, in episode 9 the it all out there. On the business side, [...]
