Boardwalk Empire: The Complete First Season

"Boardwalk Empire" is the winner of eight Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series by Martin Scorsese, and the 2011 Golden Globe® for Best Drama Series and Best Actor Steve Buscemi. The Great War was over, Wall Street was about to boom, women got the vote, and everything was for sale, even the World Series. The undisputed ruler of Atlantic City was the town's treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Buscemi), a political fixer and backroom dealer who was equal parts politician and criminal and equally comfortable in either role. Because of its strategic location on the seaboard, minutes from Philadelphia, hours from New York City, and less than a day's drive from Chicago, the town was a hub of activity for rumrunners. And Nucky Thompson took full advantage. Based on the book "Boardwalk Empire" by Nelson Johnson. (Tricia Spears)
