Anyone watching Boardwalk Empire?
« on: November 17, 2013, 07:21:55 PM »
One of the best made shows ever, great acting, story and sets. Some of the characters have raised the bar.
Knucky, Tinface, Chalky White and Al Cappone are seriously great parts. I like Nelson Van Olden as well.

Up there with breaking bad, maybe even better.

I love that show, very close to Sopranos (my all time favourite) quality wise. I have seen first 3 season in 2 weeks time recently :D. Just got hooked on this show.

Agreed it is a great show. Can't wait for next Sunday. That Nelson Van Olden is the new villain in the new Batman movie.

Def not better but a great show to fill the void of BB being off the air.  Great characters!

Deadwood > Boardwalk Empire > The Wire > The Sopranos. That's my order of the last few big HBO series.

I'm all caught up on it minus tonight's episode.

I like it a lot....it's not as entertaining as Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy....but it is a very well done show.

And yes.....I would say it is underrated.

The guy that plays the character Nelson Van Alden is creepy as fuck. I hope we see more of him in the future!

His intense facial expressions remind of a terminator. Pump up that body and he'd be a scary evil terminator.

He was very good in "The Iceman" and a film called "Take Shelter" if you want to see more of him. He's got the dark and brooding thing down to a science -

Guy's Mr.Doherty is running Max Muscle TV show, & is good (well some of tattoos  ;D)
& is little bit too much a la Melbourne (booring town south of Sydney).

Ah, that's OK.  Just imagine what he'd say to The Pirate Bay.

The guy who plays Van Alden is General Zod


General Zod also played the notorious hitman "Iceman" Kuklinski


Sometimes, when General Zod isn't on contract, he plays a character called Michael Shannon

Can you believe that! He smiles! (but that's just for the part as Shannon, which is supposed to be a happy go lucky fellow
 ;D


General Zod is a great actor that i hope wins the oscar


Oh and Bikini, he doesn't need to pump up that body to play a Terminator, he just needs to eat heavy

Just finished watching tonight's episode. Quite the turn of events with Gillian Darmody......seems to me the whole fiasco is a stretch. I didn't see it coming, but who would? It's a bit silly for Boardwalk Empire.

I really like when Nucky's wife Margaret is in the show....she just adds something, although I can't convey what. Maybe just that extra estrogenic content. I don't know....but I miss seeing her around.

I stopped watching after the first 3 eps of this season, it was rambling and unfocused and worst of all boring as sh-t compared to the last three seasons. It went from triple A to barely watchable

Dr Trinidad is probably the worst character HBO has ever created

It's not as action packed, but it is more thought provoking. This season is on a different level than the other three.

Michael Shannon is the best thing with Boardwalk

He is what carries the whole series

He has great interaction with Al Capone

I love Kelly Macdonald (Margaret).

Holy fuck me up the ass and take my anal virginity WHAT AN EPIC FINALE!

Excellent ending.

Not gonna lie......I got emotional at the end....I won't spoil it but MAN......some great stuff.

Why this show and these characters are not getting noticed is beyond me. Some award winning acting in this show, and in this particular episode.

Superb season finale!!
