Boardwalk Empire, Series 3 (16th September US)

estebanrey · 15 Aug 2012 at 10:17

Series 3 of Boardwalk Empire starts in the States on the 16th September, not sure (or care really) when it will be relayed over on Sky but I'm looking forward to it.

Didn't think Series 2 was quite as good as the first and still feel that off air disputes between Michael Pitt and the producers caused the 'shock' ending rather than a genuine story development that was always planned but hey I enjoyed it all the same. The new series has a new gangster and nemesis for Nucky in 'Gyp Rosetti' [Bobby Cannavale] and returns for the likes of Al Capone, Arnold Rothstein, Mayer Lanky and Charles "Lucky" Luciano as you'd expect.

Bit disappointed they didn't use a real historical gangster given there are a few they still haven't used in the show yet (Dean O'Banion, Bugsy Moran for example) but he still seems pretty bad ass in the trailers....

...which are here...

Yes! Superb.

Xray -

shocking scene? Darmody's wife/lover and Monya?

There is nothing that comes close to this series and yes, I can't wait to see this.

Yea will definitely be watching.

Great series so far, if it continues with more of the same I will be happy.

Cannot wait. May have to re-watch the last season beforehand.

Ah ha, yeah that was fairly harrowing.

I think the Mrs and I are watching that episode tonight. She hasn't seen all of S2 yet, so we're working through it. To have S3 out next month works incredibly well!

Cannot wait for S2, in the summer you forget that actually there are some really great tv shows still being made.

This and Boss along with Newsroom are my favorites but also Dexter has been brilliant on and off.

The reason for Darmody joining the army.

To be honest though it wasn't that much of a shock that it happened.

Really enjoyed series 1, I thought the attention to detail of the period was amazing. Still waiting for a UK disc release of series 2, preferably blu ray.

I see what you (unintentionally) did there

The most important thing in life, darling? Your health. Your husband did this to you.

Watched all of Season 1, -5 episodes of Season 2 and become completely and utterly bored of it.

It reminded me of Season 2 of the Wire, nothing happened, it was like watching Big Brother 1920's version.

Shame, as it had so much potential.

I think maybe you have had a blow to the head, better get it checked by a Dr

Just saw this advertised can't wait for the 16th. HBO and AMC are the best channels on US tv.

I just finished catching up with Season 2, i thought it was just as good as the first season tbh, so im left with wanting more! Cant wait for the 16th and to see what characters are introduced into the new season.
