'Boardwalk Empire': Watch the Season Two Preview
by Richard Sharp
Martin Scorsese's HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" came in and out with a bang in the first season, bringing Scorsese's patented brand of sex, ultra-violence, style and superior writing to episodic television with a dramatic flair that few shows could match.
The show garnered a mind-boggling 18 Emmy nominations - an amazing accomplishment for a first season of any program.
The second season kicks off on HBO this September, and it looks like we're right back in the bloody, sexy Prohibition-era miasma. Season two will bring in some new gangsters, including Bugsy Siegel (Michael Zegen) and more of the relentlessly brutal Al Capone (Stephen Graham).
Things are changing in Atlantic City, as Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) continues to fight the not-so-good fight, Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) looks to expland his business, and the KKK, it seems, is sportin' hoods and getting really pissed off.
Come to think of it, maybe things haven't changed that much after all.
