Think I will give this a go next week.

Looks like it's going to be pretty cool. Anyone else fancy it / seen it ?

Can't wait.

Clayhead · 26/01/2011 18:56

I've seen it.

It's fab and I loved it.

joydivisionovengloves · 27/01/2011 11:13

Very excited about this and about Treme

FreeButtonBee · 27/01/2011 11:13

Really looking forward to this too!

I'm worried that once Sky Atlantic is launched I'll never be able to leave the house again.

I have seen 6 episodes of this so far - it is fantastic. First ep was a bit slow, but I am really hooked. Some good actors in it (look out for the bloke who was Omar in 'The Wire'- brilliant!).

The dude that played Omar was brilliant in the wire so really looking forward to seeing him again.
Can't wait for this channel also can't believe how sad my life has become where I'm excited about a new channel from sky

It's good, and so is Treme. Boardwalk Empire is VERY violent though and I feel a bit uncomfortable about the portrayal of women in it (the Scorsese effect perhaps...).

I'm also getting a leeeetle bit sick of the HBO 'Bad Man with a good side to him' - the Steve Buscemi character here, Tony Soprano, Don Draper etc (I know MM's not HBO, but anyway). It seems to be how they persuade the viewer to like or at least keep watching what are, essentially, a bunch of wife-beaters/philanderers/general areseholes.

But then I did emit a small squeal of delight when Omar appeared.

Francagoestohollywood · 28/01/2011 12:56

I am so looking forward to watching it (mostly because I want to see Omar!)

I watched a few episodes of Treme, and it is very good too.

I miss The Wire though.

I've watched the first two episodes of boardwalk empire(looking for a dexter replacement) it is good, but not as good as I'd hoped. Maybe I need to give it a better chance though.

I've seen the first season and absolutely love it. Especially some of the more inventive swearing. It's not a sit back, relax, feel good type of show, but highly enjoyable. I found myself really caring about the characters and what would happen. Margaret in particular.

Mirage · 28/01/2011 23:38

I'll be looking out for this,especially Omar.
