Boardwalk Empire is a period gangster drama which features fictional characters like Nucky Thompson, and also real ones such as Arnold Rothstein, Al Capone and Charlie Luciano. Touted as the next big crime show after The Sopranos, for many people, Boardwalk Empire failed to live up to the hype.

Today I wanted to discuss the show, and why I felt the series was a dissapointment.
