EW says: This can be quite gritty but it is balanced by excellent acting, amazing costumes and a fantastic script. Very gripping series!
 
Boardwalk Empire is an American television series from cable network HBO, set in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era.

It stars Steve Buscemi as Enoch "Nucky" Thompson. The show was adapted, by Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter of The Sopranos, from a book about historical criminal kingpin Enoch "Nucky" Johnson by Nelson Johnson entitled Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City.
 
"Nucky" is a political figure who rose to prominence and controlled Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s. Nucky interacts with several historical figures in both his personal and political life, including mobsters, politicians, government agents, and the common folk who look up to him.

The federal government also takes an interest in the bootlegging and other illegal activities in the area, sending agents to investigate possible mob connections but also looking at Nucky's lifestyle—expensive and lavish for a county political figure.
