Since I haven’t seen any suggest it yet Boardwalk Empire is Written/Produced by Terence Winter whose also Written/Produced for The Sopranos.

Taking place in Atlantic City during prohibition it’s much like The Sopranos in that it’s a character study of an organized crime boss. Like The Sooranos it’s dark, tragic, spontaneous, and hilarious. High production value, great looking sets, strong cinematography, it’s prestige tv firing on all cylinders. Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Michael Shannon, and Michael K Williams (just realized I’m giving the nod to all the Michaels) are among the highlights of a cast that is ridiculously loaded.
