Boardwalk Empire (2010–2014)

Really good show the couldve been great!

[7/10 · 16 September 2023]

Boardwalk Empire is one of those shows where when you read who stars in it, who wrote the stories, its sounds amazing. Its when you actually watch a few episodes where you realize that something is just missing. The strange thing is how there are countless great scenes in the episodes, but as a show its just above average. I doubt I am the only the one who notices but there is just a lack of a certain something that the greats like The Sopranos or The Wire have. Some people call it inspiration, other just call it magic but whatever the term, Boardwalk Empire simply doesn't have it. That's my take on a really good show that could've been great. 7/10.

The Innocent Man (2018)

Important topic, but confusing at times.

These stories are very important and I'm glad I watched this series. However it can a bit confusing with all the different characters involved with these 2 separate incidents. The dramatic parts are lackluster as well but not so bad as to ruin the episodes. Perhaps a pen and paper to write down notes would help keep the stories and characters straight in your head as you watch. 6/10
