After finally reaching the 5th episode of Boardwalk Empire’s second season (I watched the first 3 episodes 2 times already with falling asleep each time…) I have to admit that it was worth giving it a third shot. It surely develops into a really good drama series about history, people and the position of women, men and governments during this time. If you like Mad Men and always wondered what happened before, this show is what you should watch.
Michael Pitt and Steve Buscemi make a perfect duo going from “father” & “son” to enemies. The side cast is very well selected and a special admiration goes out to Kelly Macdonald who plays Margaret Schroeder, a woman going from assault victim to influencing and supporting the most powerful man of Atlantic City. It surely deserves all the praise it gets and I definitely recommend you watching it if you haven’t already.
