The Schleicher Spin 
David,
I will be checking in every week. I have not seen or heard anything bad about this from early previews. Scorsese’s stamp on this tells me all I need to know.
John, I look forward to discussing the show with you. –DHS

Season Two is all wrapped up!

The Season Three Premiere was like a big dish of comfort food (with a little bit of spice) – https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/09/16/boardwalk-empire-resolution-season-three-premier/
Episode 3.2 had a great Chalky White subplot – https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/09/23/boardwalk-empire-spaghetti-and-coffee/
Some nice character development for Nucky, Gyp, Margaret, Harrow and Gillian in Ep 3.3 – https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/09/30/boardwalk-empire-bone-for-tuna/
Episode 3.4 belonged to Capone – https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/10/07/boardwalk-empire-blue-bell-boy/
The theme of violence against women made episode 3.5 a hard one to sit through:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/10/14/boardwalk-empire-youd-be-surprised/
Esther Randolph returned in Ep 3.6 –
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/10/21/boardwalk-empire-ging-gang-goolie/

Episode 3.8 was an explosive hour that set the stage for war:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/11/04/boardwalk-empire-the-pony/
Episode 3.9 asked the question, “Is this a proper home?”
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/11/11/boardwalk-empire-the-milkmaids-lot/
The best laid plans…in 3.10…go to hell…
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/11/20/boardwalk-empire-a-man-a-plan/
Everything fell into place in ep 3.11 for what should be an explosive season finale:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/11/25/boardwalk-empire-two-imposters/
Possibly the best season finale yet?
https://theschleicherspin.com/2012/12/02/boardwalk-empire-margate-sands/
The Season Four Premiere was a bit disappointing and disjointed, but it certainly set up some interesting plot threads and new characters.
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/09/08/boardwalk-empire-new-york-sour-season-four-premiere/
A new nemesis is shaping up for Chalky and Nucky, but the writers continue to weave disconnected plotlines in episode 4.2:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/09/15/boardwalk-empire-resignation/
The plot thickens for the better in episode 4.3:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/09/22/boardwalk-empire-acres-of-diamonds/
Episode 4.4 produced some new alliances:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/09/29/boardwalk-empire-all-in/
After a lousy start, the season finally seems to be hitting its stride in episode 4.5:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/10/06/boardwalk-empire-erlkonig/
The ladies had their way with the men in episode 4.6:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/10/13/boardwalk-empire-the-north-star/
We learned more about Narcisse’s back-story, but this was another mixed bag in episode 4.7:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/10/20/boardwalk-empire-william-wilson/
Another one bites the dust in episode 4.8:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/10/27/boardwalk-empire-the-old-ship-of-zion/
A pretty strong episode in the areas of “moving the plot forward” and character development…with yet another character getting offed!
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/11/03/boardwalk-empire-marriage-and-hunting/
Nice set-up episode…whose gonna stand by Chalky?
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/11/10/boardwalk-empire-white-horse-pike/
Was this one of Boardwalk’s finest hours? Mol was in top form and Louis Gossett Jr. gave the type of guest spot Emmy dreams are made of:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2013/11/17/boardwalk-empire-havre-de-grace/
Wow – what a finale!

A flashback to Nucky’s childhood highlights the Season Five Premiere:

Was there too much nothing going on in ep 5.2?
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/09/14/boardwalk-empire-the-good-listener/
Women made their moves in Ep 5.3:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/09/21/boardwalk-empire-what-jesus-said/
Poor a shot of rum in honor of the dearly departed:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/09/28/boardwalk-empire-cuanto/
Ep 5.5 was the Muller and Eli Show:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/10/05/boardwalk-empire-king-of-norway/
Chalk this great episode (5.6) up to scribe Korder:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/10/12/boardwalk-empire-devil-you-know/
An amazing penultimate episode (5.7) masterfully directed by Coulter:
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/10/19/boardwalk-empire-friendless-child/
And the lights went out on the boardwalk…
https://theschleicherspin.com/2014/10/26/boardwalk-empire-eldorado-series-finale/
Hey really liked your insight on Boardwalk, I was hoping you had picked up on Peaky Blinders which is a great series during Nucky’s time?
