The second season of Boardwalk Empire went out with a bang. I had a feeling that on a high-quality show such as this that no one was safe, and I was right. As much as seeing our favourite characters go pains me, I love the unexpected freshness of it all. I mean, were you expecting Nucky to really...

How should I start this week’s recap? Oh, I know: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww. We all kind of knew it was coming, but I don’t think we expected it to really happen, did we? This episode was all about Jimmy, and rightly so. I mean, his wife was just murdered along with her lesbian lover. It wouldn’t be right...

Was your mind blown? My mind was blown. Not literally, but we can’t say the same for someone else now can we? Another great episode with surprising twist at the end that I don’t think anyone was expecting.Margaret’s struggling to cope with little Emily’s illness. The prognosis isn’t good and...

Ok, I’ll admit it, those scenes with poor little Emily almost made me cry. While Daddy Nucky was away on business in Northern Ireland (I guess it was just called Ireland at that point, wasn’t it?) Margaret had to cope with tragedy striking her family yet again.As we’ve seen in previous episodes,...

I guess we could call this a week of new beginnings. That’s what the marketing team of Boardwalk would call it – right? It was a nice contrast to the eventful episode we had last week. I’m enjoying the building tension as we get closer to the end of the season. I can’t wait til Nucky wins. He...

After weeks of anticipation, some Irish luck kicked in. You know what I’m talking about. I was tempted to make this entire blog about how excited I was that Margaret finally gave into temptation but this was a very exciting week on the boardwalk. It’s definitely one of the best episodes so far this...

This is setting up to be good, but only if what I want to happen actually happens. I’m talking about Margaret and Owen. Sensing the attraction between Katy and Owen, Margaret reminds Katy there are children living in the house. Because Margaret and Nucky never have sex in that house, do they?...

This was a good week in Atlantic City; partly because there was no Chalky to act as a buzz kill. And I did enjoy seeing Jimmy getting put in his place—for a short time at least. It’s Memorial Day in Atlantic City and Nucky is giving a speech at a memorial ceremony. He...

It’s time for another week on the Boardwalk. There’s no dramatic stand-offs in public places like last week, but that’s ok, I can cope with that. We begin with Jimmy discussing business plans with Mickey Doyle. Jimmy wants to be the biggest distributor in the Northeast....

A couple of points to start off: it was great to see Nucky getting back his swagger, also I’m liking Margaret more and more each week. I hope what we’ve seen from both these characters continues into the rest of the season. I actually felt sorry for Lucy this episode. I even...
