My new favorite show on tv.. BOARDWALK EMPIRE

This new HBO series is a masterpiece... BIG NAMES like MARTIN SCORSESE and STEVE BUSCEMI are behind this brilliant 1920's drama.. I promise everyone who watches it, u will get hooked!!! it takes place in the 1920's during the prohibition era (when liquor was made illegal)... The story line is very interesting, the acting is superb, and the accuracy of the 1920's is surprising! (I never lived in the 1920's but i did take alot of history classes which covered that time period).. for more information about the series you can visit the official website http://www.hbo.com/boardwalk-empire/index.html.. below is a trailer... ENJOY!!!

  1. Heyy 7aaawi,
    Just wanted to say i loved the series trailer, I actually found it very captivating. It got me wondering about the prohibition era, why was liquor illegal at that time? and what happened that changed it?

  2. hello zainab! im glad u enjoy this show, i hate that i have to wait a week to watch the next episode :/ im not an expert on the topic, but from what i remember from history class is that there was a temperance movement which was organized by religious/conservative women who successfully got voters to vote for the prohibition... they believed alcohol contributed to poverty and criminal activities... i would suggest u check it out on wikipedia to get the details... anyway its such a great show.. if u have other shows you would like to share with us plzzz feel free to share!!
