Also in Atlantic City: Richard mentors Tommy Darmody, though Gillian keeps a watchful eye on both of them; Margaret tours a new hospital made possible by Nucky's fortune. Chronicles the life and times of Nucky Thompson, the undisputed ruler of Atlantic City, who was equal parts politician and gangster. A bustling little city by the seashore, totally dependent upon money spent by tourists, Atlantic City’s popularity rose in the early 20th century and peaked during Prohibition. The resort’s singular purpose of providing a good time to its visitors - whether lawful or not - demanded a single mentality to rule the town. Success of the local economy was the only ideology, and critics and do-gooders weren’t tolerated. By 1900, a political juggernaut, funded by payoffs from gambling rooms, bars, and brothels, was firmly entrenched.
For the next 70 years, Atlantic City was dominated by a partnership comprised of local politicians and racketeers. This unique alliance reached full bloom in the person of Enoch “Nucky” Johnson - the second of three bosses to head the Republican machine that dominated city politics and society.

Way back in the first season of “Boardwalk Empire” — the best-looking, most impressive, well-acted series to add up to so much less than the sum of its parts — sad-eyed Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) was warned, “You can’t be half a gangster.”
Two seasons later Nucky fully grasped this lesson, putting a bullet between the eyes of the dreamboat thug and surrogate son who had taught it to him in the first place. The murder of Jimmy Darmondy (Michael Pitt) in last season’s finale freed Nucky from his especial concern with being — as opposed to appearing to be — a respectable sort of gangster, a guy in the business of moving hooch, not capping humans.
In Season 3, which premieres Sunday night on HBO, Nucky’s finally given himself over to the inevitability of Jimmy’s truism, and he’s taken “Boardwalk Empire” with him.
If Nucky can’t be half a gangster, “Boardwalk Empire” can’t be half a gangster show, and it has rededicated itself with new energy to being another entertainment that faithfully chronicles the doings of charming murderers. It remains the most ambitious show on TV with nothing to say at all.
First i read some reviews before watching pilot, and they where saying how "boooring" this episode was. Hell no! That was one of the best pilots in a ... ever! When you have screenwriter of "Sopranos" and Mr. M.Scorsese in a director chair - nothing can go wrong! A pilot of "Boardwalk Empire" reminded my of "Goodfellas", "Sopranos" (i read that behind this show is a writer of "Sopranos" after watching pilot) and ... "Departed" - it's was THAT good.
