Murder works! A good lesson for one and all. I must give Boardwalk Empire one thing. Rather than an hour of gratuitous violence, they limit each episode to just one very grisly killing at the very end of the hour. You know it’s coming so you know when to hide your face in your hands. What I find most attractive in the series, and much better than the Soprano’s, is it is a period piece. A taste of life outside the world I have experienced. I so like the other worldly, the past, the future and the fantasy rather than the high boredom of the hear and now. Been here done that.
