Heavy-handed, too obvious, stilted...I'll give it a chance to find its legs but I dunno... | |

Yeah it went really fast, basically like an all inclusive 90 minute scorsese flick. | |

I hate the intro scene (not sure what to call this... the little scene that is to music that will be the same for every episode.) Its very Big Lovesque, and while the sort of abstract metaphorical style works well with Big Love, I just don't like it for BWE. | |

I really liked the "you can't be half a gangster" line delivered by jimmy.. but his little rant leading up to it was such weaksauce.. | |

I hope they won't be doing too much of the OMG THERE WAS RACISM/ANTISEMITISM/SMOKING/WHATNOT in the future, I've already got Mad Men for that on mondays. | |

They could do that without making it seem awkward and unnecessary. The blackface stuff was fine, I didn't like stuff like the close-up on the tobacco ad and the book though. Basically they seemed to be put in just for the "shock" value, the book especially took focus away from the actual story. | |

Should I rephrase that? "Presently I hope that future episodes won't focus on how these current issues were even more widespread in the past". | |

It also bugged me that all the signs etc. were all perfect, like they recently came out of a set design paint shop or something... | |

Yeah, boost, I also really hated the opening credits. It's obvious that it was created by the same people who did true blood / six feet under / etc, and they normally do an awesome job, but it didn't seem appropriate to this show at all. Even a different song on the same video might be 1000% better. Maybe I just hate that song. | |

i don't think i could watch a show like this waiting a week between each episode. it would take time to develop the characters and story and i just don't have the patience for it. i don't really watch much tv but when i do, it's so much nicer going from episode to episode and not having to wait. sounds like it could be good but probably will wait til i can dl it or something. but then again i don't even have cable. | |

True blood is glorified smut. I watched 5 minutes of it (my gf is a big fan) and I felt dirty for a week | |

true blood is massively disappointing to me, having been built up so highly from six feet under and american beauty | |

I agree with everyone else that it all happened kind of fast. Almost felt like it could have been a standalone movie where they were setting up for a sequel. Meh ill watch the next episode. | |

A lot of people have been saying that this episode was a bit boring and such. We must give it time to develop. The first episode simply showed a shitload of potential. GOGOGO BOARDWALK EMPIRE! | |

This is why I find it sad when people can't wade through "boring" episodes. God forbid the first episode isn't the most exciting episode ever. This show is getting sososo good...each episode is better than the last | |

It's an A, I think I would give it a A+ except I have a terrible feeling we will eventually see Steve B waaaay too naked. Keep that robe closer to the bed! | |

Philly you have to pay attention and focus on details, both questions show me you're doing neither. | |

Hmm...I missed the hair tie thing. I guess we need belt scenes to beat in small details. | |

It didn't matter who the guys on the street were, it was just a catalyst for Nucky to size up Luciano. | |

I think some HBO exec is obsessed with penis mistreatment in the name of science, it was long running & painful in Deadwood (all puns/double entendre intentional). Hopefully we're done with it in BW. | |

yea i guess the term moral fortitude was wrong i meant it like boog had said earlier, to show his level of religiosity and obviously by all the scars he already had it was something he had been riding on for a while, so obviously he does it to repent for his sins or w/e (in this case the shroeder whore) | |

I don't get the issue you all have with the belt scene. Its building character. We've all seen the uncorruptable do-gooder g-man character from these period pieces.. but what we haven't really seen is the flawed nature of these misguided crusaders. When we do its a boring and unimaginative hypocrisy, like a prohibition agent who has a drinking problem. In BWE, they are building a disturbed character with quite a bit more depth than his counterparts in similar cinema. | |
