Last season’s premiere was steeped in violence, and the same is true this year.
Really, last season was a bloodbath back to front, with some lulling episodes in between.
When the show lost Jimmy, it lost its moral center.
Now, she’s completely gone.
Who’s at the helm of this ship?
But what makesBoardwalk Empirea show worth coming back to are its small moments.
I put the bet as 14/1.
– “Henry borrows coats?
What is he, an orphan?”
The good part, though?
Chalky razzing “sweet back” as he dragged Dickey to his grave.
“Don’t you throw that!”
– Capone-with-an-E reminded me ofAnne of Green Gables: “That’s Anne … what anE!”
The scene where he sets that record straight was another great moment.
Capone is a terrific character, and remains the most human of the gangsters.
– Does anyone care what Gillian is up to now?
Her trying to win back custody of Tommy is disgusting.
Fight, Julia, fight!
– Showgirl: “Deliciously primitive.”
Nucky: “does it bring out the beast in you?”
- moments in racism.
– “I guess criminals aren’t very punctual.
Maybe that’s why they have troubled being productive members of society.”
