    I know there's a lot of new tv series coming out with new seasons right now, but are any of you watching Boardwalk Empire? I just watched the first two episodes online tonight and it's pretty good so far.

    Oh, and for those of you not aware of what the show is, it is a series that shows on HBO that deals with prohibition. Here's a short synopsis


    Boardwalk Empire is a period drama focusing on Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (based on the historical Enoch "Nucky" Johnson)[4], a political figure who rose to prominence and controlled Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s. Nucky interacts with several historical figures in both his personal and political life, including mobsters, politicians, government agents, and the common folk who looked up to him. The government also takes an interest in the bootlegging and other illegal activities in the area, sending agents to investigate possible mob connections but also looking at Nucky's expensive and lavish lifestyle for a county political figure.

    I've heard good things from people opinion's that I trust, but I don't have HBO, so I'll be watching it once Netflix gets it.
