For those that don't know, it's a new show about underground crime/corruption during early Prohibition. It's written by one of the Soprano's lead writers, and is produced by Martin Scorcese (he's also directing the pilot). And it's got Steve Buscemi in the lead role :love:.

And OMAR from The Wire :cool:

Yeah i agree it was slow, but it looks like it has promise to have some good episodes coming up. Sopranos was a bit slow at times also until you caught on to the little side storiies they had.

Buzzkill
09-20-2010, 05:36 PM
I didn't think it was too slow at all, wasn't a fan of the beaten wife storyline though. Seems kind of overdone. Other than that I loved it.

It's got the foundation to be an incredible series.

Just watched the premiere and loved it. Heard a lot of people saying it was too slow, but I don't agree at all. Thought it was paced perfectly for being the first in the series. It set up everything nicely. Love the way they introduced Al Capone too.

yeah like watching shows more all at once than waiting for the next one.

Watching season after season of LOST was awesome, because it would just be fresh in your mind. Then when I'd caught up, I still got to take part in a few seasons week by week and it was different. Love watching show after show and not having to wait to find out what happens next. And to have no commercials (depending on the show).

Show has been amazing. It's reached The Soprano's point with me where I'm angry when the show is over because I want to see what happens. Not as good as The Soprano's but definitely my favourite current show.

Gertner
10-17-2011, 01:24 PM
Last night was definitely the best episode of season 2.

Ol Dirty Dastard
10-18-2011, 09:47 AM
Needs time to reach Sopranos levels... all about consistancy. Has all the elements to surpass it though. And agree, best episode was Sunday, though I get the feeling that every episode will surpass the previous in this season.

Gertner
10-18-2011, 11:52 AM
I really hope so. The only thin that I believe would keep BWE from reaching the Sopranos is in some peoples view, there are way too many characters.

Ol Dirty Dastard
10-19-2011, 09:47 AM
Agreed. But I think that's what may separate it from a lot of shows. I think the reason for the multitude of characters is because of the historical relevance of the show. It still has the soap opera element of Sopranos, BUT there seems to be something "bigger" going on with all these people who played such a big part in history.

Ol Dirty Dastard
10-19-2011, 09:49 AM
The one advantage with the many characters though, is that it slows down the plot, because there's SO MANY subplots, but they all seem to have their own value and aren't just thrown in there. So unlike the Sopranos, it may take longer to run out of ideas. Because after season three or four of the Sopranos, the show whiles still quite good, doesn't have the same OOMPH it started with.

Gertner
10-19-2011, 10:22 AM
Oh I love the amount of characters, I love how they really tie in notable charcters with characters I've never heard of. From what I heard Bugsy Sigel is coming to the show.

Knowing what I know from researching the Mob in school, Van Alden and Capone are going to be intertwined. It showed in the last episode the Van Alden moved to Cicero, Illinois, which is where the headquarters were for Al Capone in real life.

I think that the show has officially peeked. I don't think it can be as good as it was this season. At the very least it'll need season three to build up to a huge season four crescendo. Killing off Jimmy while I'll say was the right move because it was logical as far as the characters and plot go, removes a key element from the show. One they may have to build back up over time.

Though Harrow could take over from Jimmy's role. It's hard to say at this point.

Jimmy was a dead man walking. I can see the plots kinda of dividing off. From a historical perspective it looks like Capone and Van Alden will have their own little thing, Luciano's rise will occur soon and Nucky/ Margaret and wherever that's going leads me to believe a bunch of different stories, all intertwining at some point.

Tommy Gunn
12-17-2011, 03:55 PM
It was a HOLY SHIT moment for me when Jimmy's wife got popped, I couldn't believe it. I was sad to see her go, and then Jimmy get's killed off... :wtf:

I'll be completely honest, this has gone from a must see show to something I'm probably leave behind, maybe in the future I'll check out season 3. I was pretty invested in Jimmy as the 2nd main character. It'd be like killing Scully in the early seasons of The X Files.

Ol Dirty Dastard
12-18-2011, 02:09 PM
Explain logically how they could have kept him alive without it going against everything the show is about. As Gert said best, he was a dead man walking. If the writing had no balls they'd have kept him alive. But they went the route that epic drama goes, and they killed a main character. Don't let mancrushes get in the way of watching good television. I would imagine to make up for it, Richard Harrow is going to play a much bigger part, which can never be a bad thing.
