Boardwalk Empire

Nope, won't be watching. I woke up while it was starting. soon as I saw the "New Orleans Jazz Band" in Black face, that was enough for me.

There is enough racism in the world without me haveing to watch it on a weekly basis on my tv shows.
 
I was blown away by the first episode. They've been hyping this show for like a year now, so it was going to have to be excellent to meet my expectations, and it exceeded them. Love this show.
 
I really like it too. Steve Buscemi is a great actor and really can do no wrong.

But I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE Michael Pitt. I've loved him since Hedwig.

^re: blackface......weren't they trying to keep it historically accurate? It's a sad fact that black people were not allowed in many places to even perfom during that time.
 
^Yes, it was historically accurate. It doesn't make it okay ethically, it's just how the times were. Even women weren't allowed to vote yet, (which I find offensive as well) so they are trying to be accurate.
