Boardwalk Empire

Wondering if anyone was going to catch the new HBO series Boardwalk Empire. The trailers look pretty interesting and thinking about getting HBO to check it out next weekend.

Dish has a free preview of HBO that weekend - probably intentional on the part of HBO to get people hooked on watching that show.

It would seem likely that other providers may also have the free preview.

I'm going to give it a try.

Definitely!

HBO spent huge bucks on the series. The boardwalk set was $5 million. The pilot/first episode was $20 million. More than a lot of cable series get for a whole season.

Pretty much any series on HBO gets a look from me... from Dream On & Dennis Miller to the present series...

I'm hoping it turns out to be a good series. I've been looking for something to help equalize all the stuff my wife wants me to watch.

Which part do we DVR? There's like 3 or 4 parts, but the one at 6pm (ET) and 7:15pm (ET) look like the real deal...

I thought the first episode was well done. Almost forgot I was watching a TV series instead of a movie. Looking forward to next weeks episode.

The wife was giving me a hard time before we watched it because I wanted to watch Flash Forward when that first came on. We know how that ended up.

I thought is was a tad slow, but in order to establish all the characters, I guess it had to be. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed it. Also liked the opening theme music. Reminded me of Ry Cooder.
Edit: Music was done by Brian Jonestown Massacre...though not familiar with them.

I wasn't sure what to think about the opening. Maybe it will grow on me.

I will DVR the first 3 or 4 and watch in one sitting. Pilots are always hit and miss so I usually don't judge a show by them. After the first 3-4 episodes I think you can get a good feeling of the direction the show will take and its entertainment value.

Jury is still out...

 

[long_time_DNC]

I agree, the jury is still out for me as well... I'll give it 3-4 more episodes to decide whether or not the timer stays...

I thought it was good.Then again I live 90 mins from AC & I love local history.It has great potential.

 

[digiblur]

I couldn't get into it myself...

 

[Jimmy 440]

I think I'm going to enjoy Sunday night television again !

 

[gbjbany]

nah sorry after all the hype expected more - will watch if nothing else on but the dvr is busy right now !

 

[gadgtfreek]

I'm getting a hold of the first 3 episodes now, so it'll take me a bit to catch up. Hope it's good.

It's got to get moving a bit more, or it's gonna lose me...
