HBO's new series Boardwalk Empire looks good, really good. Steve Buscemi is compelling as Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, although I can't help thinking how weird it is that the nervous freak from Fargo is so calm and well-dressed. The pilot held my interest from start to finish, quite a feat given my lamentably short attention span.
The one thing that bothered me was the introduction of Chalky White, portrayed by Michael K. Williams. Five seconds of screen time and one inconsequential line? Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter, this be Omar, yo. That's how you show respect?
(What do you mean, you never saw The Wire?)
