The pacing could be considered slow at times but stick with it. Probably the best series running, in my opinion.

I'm 4 episodes in and I'm stillabout it. I'll keep going though
Just letting you know that it'll never have the cartoonish off-the-wall quality of something like Breaking Bad. Violence will come in flashes.
have you seen gyp rosetti??manny Horowitz ? How is breaking bad cartoonish and off the wall ?? I like both shows but the leads in breaking bad >>> Nucky and jimmy

The show is good, great even, but the 3rd season has been pretty terrible so far. So you have two good seasons.
"Homeland" is currently the best show on TV. And before someone says
"but you love Breaking Bad!"...."Breaking Bad" ain't currently on.

Half way through first ep
so far
Ill stick with it though

Sorry but those scenes with Gyp and Horvitz (I assume you mean the gas station and butcher shop scenes, respectively) won't ever come close to the absurdity shown on a consistent basis by Breaking Bad.

I feel the cartoonish shyt a little bit. I love the show, but in real life walter white and his whole family would have already been dead.
Of course "Breaking Bad" is cartoonish. The entire premise is a school teacher turns into a drug lord. Realism =/= quality though. Season 3 of "Boardwalk Empire" is obviously far more realistic than season 3 of "Breaking Bad", that ain't keeping "Boardwalk" from getting shyt on in the official thread though.

Stellar first two seasons but season 3 is spotty as of now.
By the 3rd episode, youll know if you like it or not.
Its slow compared to BB, Homeland, GoT etc
But it still has many
moments
I loved it, if only because of how shytty and meaningless everyones life is. Possibly one of the most depressing shows Ive seen. Any ounce of dignity that anyone has, is either a lie or a hyposcrisy. Everyone is either a blatant piece of shyt, or a well-disguised piece of shyt

fukking hell, do you ever put the cape away?
"Boardwalk" is more realistic. It's also currently getting shyt on in the official thread.
What did I say that isn't true?
Stop being emotional. And your dumb ass brought up "Breaking Bad", not me.
