Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
Boardwalk Empire is a must stop
15 December 2022
Another one of the recommendations from Instagram Reels to revive good series that have fallen into oblivion.

This one promises to be as good as Peaky Blinders and Sons of Anarchy, I'm really looking forward to the next episodes. This pilot episode opened the series spectacularly.

Superb direction by Martin Scorsese. I lack words to describe this masterpiece. The episode runs so fluidly that you almost don't notice time passing, to the point of wanting to marathon the series at once.

Steve Buscemi as Enoch "Nucky" Thompson was a master, his talent will no doubt raise the bar for the series even further.

The writing is amazing, with an engaging story, true to the era in which it takes place. Not to mention the scenography, super meticulous and well crafted. It immerses you in the decade with its stunning visuals, relevant soundtrack and detailed set design.

I recommend it to all lovers of a script after the First World War filled with drama of gangsters, politicians and police. If you come from Peaky Blinders and Goodfellas, Boardwalk Empire is a must stop.
