Boardwalk Empire premiere on HBO

Anyone else watch it? Just ended about 10 minutes ago. I thought it was great. Lots of quality casting and they did a superb job of capturing the atmosphere of the prohibition era. And of course Steve Buscemi was good. 
 
HBO is showing an encore presentation of it right now in case anyone missed.

I don't get HBO.
 

It was really good. I'm glad that major plot driving forces are already in play. I was worried there would be too much exposition.

i agree the atmosphere ans music were great. the characters were enjoyable as well i am going to tune in next week 
 
seems like its going to be a good series

Wish I had HBO so I could watch it.  Scorsese being involved is what sold me before a single minute of the show aired. 
 
Gonna have to wait until DVD while everyone else gets to talk freely about it.  Le sigh...

No HBO, but am going to check it out on itunes when it comes out

I don't get HBO but the TV spots for the show were some of the best I've seen in a long, long time.

the show was great. i hope they somehow extend it into a full series instead of a 13 part miniseries.   I LOVE STEVE BUSCEMI

Fuck I forgot this was coming on, thanks for telling me.

I really enjoyed it and I'll be back for the next episode.

I had no idea this was coming down the pike, and then saw a torrent for something called "Boardwalk Empire" on EZTV. Out of curiosity, I checked out some more on it and as soon as I saw Buscemi, Scorsese, and the Soprano's head writer were involved, I got all up on it. I really enjoyed the first ep more than most show premieres. Looks like Scorsese only handled this first episode hands on but has input on the other director's work for future eps.
 
@tunaburn:   According to Wikipedia (which is ALWAYS accurate ;-| ) this could actually be extended to multiple seasons if it does well.

I'm a huge Steve Buscemi fan but unfortunately I don't get HBO...

Omar.

Buscemi seems a little miscast to me. He just doesn't have the charisma of a politician / gangster. Normally I'm a big Buscemi fan, but his work here reminds me of his subpar stint on the Sopranos.
 
Other than that, I thought it was superb.

One of the best hours of television I've seen in a very long time.

I have the chance to watch it just because Fios is giving HBO free right now till tomorrow, but don't think I'll watch it just because if I did really enjoy it it would really suck not being able to see the rest of the seasons.  Very strange it seems less people have HBO now a days, it seemed like HBO was the gateway movie channel back in the 90's and before.  Times have changed.

I hadn't even heard of it.  Don't watch TV and certainly would never pay for it.  Looks good.  I torrented the first episode in HD and started it.  Looks tasty tasty.  Thanks for the heads up OP.  
 
Must be good.  Its being seeded like crazy.  Took less than one hour to complete.
