Boardwalk Empire – TV Review

Boardwalk Empire

Last Tuesday Mild Concern talked its way into the VIP seating at Sky Atlantic’s preview screening of Boardwalk Empire, HBO’s new Golden Globe-winning drama set during the Prohibition era.

The Hoff Hits HBO. Well Not The Hoff, But a Hoff(man)

TV is definitely in vogue right now as Dustin Hoffman is set to film a new series for HBO. For realsies.

He will star in Luck, a series set in the world of horse riding that was co-created by David Milch of Deadwood fame and John from Cincinnati shame. With all this talent in a show I bet it didn’t take long for HBO to decide this was a goer.

With Luck, Boardwalk Empire and I’m With the Band coming to HBO now is the time to renew your subscription. No other channel can boast Hoffman, Buscemi and Deschanel.
