BiBottomBoy Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 How fucking awesome was that season premier? Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Sorry but that show is awful. They have the visuals but they forgot the story. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 What don't you like about it? As to the story, they have to follow history since the show is about real people. If you've ever read any history about southern new jersey it's astounding how accurate the story is. Quote
Members JKane Posted September 29, 2011 Members Posted September 29, 2011 What don't you like about it? As to the story, they have to follow history since the show is about real people. If you've ever read any history about southern new jersey it's astounding how accurate the story is. I usually love everything HBO, but I think you've nailed my problem with Boardwalk... I've never read about or traveled to Atlantic City, nor do I care to. So it just didn't manage to catch me, even though I watched all of season 1. I'm sure for east-coasters there's inherently more interest. Love me some Treme though! Quote
caeron Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 We love the show. So hope Chalkie gets the vengeance historically he would never have gotten... Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 In real life history Chalkie did get vengeance. Nucky Thompson was a complex individual. You can't hang out in South Jersey bars and not still hear people tell stories about him that they heard from their grandfathers. He was a serious pragmatist and knew that keeping the African American population happy was essential for all the shit he needed to do. Quote
