Boardwalk Empire is an American television series from premium cable network HBO, set in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era. Starring Steve Buscemi, the show is adapted from Nelson Johnson's book, Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City by Emmy award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter of The Sopranos.

The first episode was directed by Martin Scorsese. On September 1, 2009, HBO picked up the series for an additional 11 episodes. The series debuted on September 19, 2010.

Filming was done on a specially created set in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
On September 21, 2010, Boardwalk Empire was renewed for a second season after the premier episode gained HBO's highest ratings for any premier since 2004's Deadwood.

The show's theme music is "Straight Up and Down" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, from their 1996 album Take It from the Man!.

Basically, the show is about the start of prohibition and the beginning of the american gangster.
The show's premiere was the day prohibition was enacted and is centered around the treasurer of altantic city, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson who before prohibition was something of a half gangster.
You see Nuky even in the first episode start to evolve into a "Real Gangster" but still make moral choices that show hes not a completely bad person.

The show is to include many well know historical gangsters such as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano when they were just starting out in the business and other gangsters like Arnold Rothstein, and Mickey Duffy.

When you have Martin Scorsese as the director, how can it not?
