I watched the complete season of Boardwalk Empire it's decent but nothing great. There are no twists and turns, the show is predictable and there are no action scenes in this gangster flick. There are only flashes of violence sometimes. You would expect more violence since it's a gangster flick but nah violent scenes are finished in seconds. There's also no tension or feeling of high stakes in this gangster show. Nucky always gets what he wants easily. Many scenes are family oriented instead lol scenes about family are given a lot of screen time which is boring. Many times names are thrown in the show which haven't even given a proper introduction so you get confused who they are talking about. I liked the character Jimmy and Al Capone. The romance between Nucky and Margaret is cringeworthy. Steve Buscemi gives an alright performance as Nucky. Many episodes just end normally without a cliffhanger, or a twist or something big which makes you want to watch the next episode. I have watched many tv shows in which episodes end spectacularly and make you want to watch the next episode right away. Boardwalk empire lacked these kind of episode endings. So I was always hesitent of watching the next episode because nothing big happened in the ending scenes they felt kind of dry. But I still watched the whole season because I always give a show a full season before I judge it. It was sometimes boring to watch but sometimes it was entertaining. So it's just a decent tv show but nothing great. I don't where it's getting these 9s and 10s from. These people don't know what great tv is. There are better shows out there. But if you like politics, alcohol prohibition era, no action, no twists and turns. Then this show is for you.
