TV.com Episode Review

  • Boardwalk Empire's Season 3 Premiere: The More Things Change...

    "Resolution" was certainly well-acted and beautiful to look at, but it too often felt like just a collection of scenes that happened to be sequenced together in an episode-like unit.

    • Right back in to the thick of things...

      Right off the bat, first episodes of season 3 and we already have a large body count.... but wheres the story? To early to expect to know where we are headed?? i guess so. Right now anything could happen.... hopefully, something special will occur in the following episodes, because seeing people getting their heads bashed in or blown off with a 1920's atmosphere is entertaining, dont get me wrong.. but wardrobe and Al capone hinting and going nuclear at any given time is not enough to keep me interested...not for long anyhow.

      What else to do but wait and see...moreless
    • Solid start, but definitely unclear where things are headed

      I'm probably going to enjoy this show as long as it continues to create new and interesting characters, but there are way too many of them right now. I'm expecting some major bloodshed if only to bring clarity to whose story this is.
