I was going to watch it, and forgot to DVR. Lucky for me, it is on HBO, and they will replay it 20 more times.
It's also on demand.

For me it's a little reminiscent of Scorcese's epic "The Gangs of New York", it has a haunting quality to it, that captures how thing looked and felt and operated at the time
I am spoiled by Rome and (mostly) Deadwood so Boardwalk will need to come up with a lot more than is promised in this first episode, which is as fragmented as were pre-motion picture era weekly stage plays.
The sets are an excellent visual experience. Buscemi is very good but the supporting cast is just okay. Overall the production is trying to pack too much into much too small a time frame. It seems chopped.
Hopefully the first episode was planned to be just an introduction to the theme and it will pick up speed and substance. But if it manages to graphically reveal just how harmful prohibitions are to society I will be satisfied.
Bottom line: At its worst, Boardwalk can't help being a lot better than such low-budget pap as Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage.
As an afterthought, I think the Showtime series, Mad Men is very much worth watching. Maybe it's because I'm an old fart and the social ethos is familiar and nostalgic. Anyone else watch it?

I loved Rome and never got into Deadwood.
I think that given time, Boardwalk will find its legs. Still need some more character development. There has to be a character in there that you give a shit about

I'd rate Deadwood as a very close second to The Sopranos.
"Cocksucker" and "go fuck yourself" notwithstanding, the dialog in that show was spectacular but you really had to watch it more than once to get the gist of the plot.
I wish they'd rerun it. Al was one of the greatest characters of all time.
What didn't you like about Rome? I thought it was very entertaining and it did provide a fanciful glimpse of life in the time of Julius Caesar.[...] Rome pissed me off to no end. Deadwood took a while to grow on me.

I've watched the first two episodes. Most of the characters are not particularly appealing - but the sets and ambiance are very well done. The only way this thing can pay off is if Nucky gets it in the end.
Nice to see Steve Buscemi get the central starring role - he's a fine actor (and his delivery of this line in Con Air is one of my all time favs: "Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash." )

That'd be my guess.
But don't you think Jimmy's mother is a bit young to have a kid Jimmy's age?
