Coming late to a viewing is often gilded with anticipation. Perhaps I expected too much/ better. When critics applaud and the stable background (HBO)is famously familiar from the best-ever (Sopranos)one believes the hype. The opening credits of BE's roducers and directors had reassuringly familiar names. How could I possibly be disappointed? I've identified one factor to the let-down. Steve Buscemi is too familiar to me in other roles. "Tony Uncle B" of course and his characters in Cohen Brothers movies. He just did not impress me as Nucky Thompson. And I have not been able to look beyond that. I would not discourage others from embracing what is a well documented era in New Jersey and Chicago. They may bring a broader grasp and a fresher intellect.....uncluttered by the assosciations mentioned above. I shall not be getting Series 2.Read full review
Not as good as the wire (what is) but better than most. Gripping and captures the 20s with great sets and mix of real and fictional characters.

Up there with The Sopranos for me. An absorbing show that myself and my wife were totally hooked on. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Faultless.

Bought this as we were teased with the first two episodes on virgin media,they were so entertaining & original it left us wanting to see more but sky atlantic is not available to virgin customers. So we had to wait for the dvd release of the series which is so brilliant!!! It's left us wanting more from the second series,but when it will be released we dont know!!! We will just have to be patient! A FANTASTIC BUY and GREAT VALUE!!!!!!!
