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
The series premiere has now aired! Share your intial reactions, thoughts and opinions:
Episode Two has now aired…check out the spin –
Episode 3 was a doozy…check it out:
Episode 4 – the best yet?
Episode 5 is in the books:
Episode Six, what’s the deal?
Episode 7 was a powerful trip “Home” –
Episode Eight nearly put me to sleep:
Episode Nine directed by Brad Anderson takes the cake:
Episode Ten:
Another dandy of an hour with Ep 11:
Can you believe it? The season one finale is in the can:
The Season Two Premiere picks up right where we left off:
Season Two keeps humming along – another solid ep:
Things slowed down but still plenty brewed in Ep 2.3:
Gretchen Mol shines in Ep 2.4:
Ep 2.5 comes complete with a scalping and a head-bashing!
Ahhhh…an episode of faith tested…ep 2.6:
Ep 2.7 – what the hell happened?
Could episode 2.8 have been the series’ finest hour yet?
Nobody messes with Manny The Butcher of Philly in Ep 2.9:
What started as a ho-hum episode ends with a shocker!
The hits keep coming…literally…and Gretchen Mol once again owned the hour:

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:
Esther Randolph returned in Ep 3.6 –
Another great Korder-Coulter collaboration in Ep 3.7 showcasing again the amazing work of Gretchen Mol and Jack Huston as Gillian and Harrow:
Episode 3.8 was an explosive hour that set the stage for war:
Episode 3.9 asked the question, “Is this a proper home?”
The best laid plans…in 3.10…go to hell…
Everything fell into place in ep 3.11 for what should be an explosive season finale:
Possibly the best season finale yet?
The Season Four Premiere was a bit disappointing and disjointed, but it certainly set up some interesting plot threads and new characters.
A new nemesis is shaping up for Chalky and Nucky, but the writers continue to weave disconnected plotlines in episode 4.2:
The plot thickens for the better in episode 4.3:
Episode 4.4 produced some new alliances:
After a lousy start, the season finally seems to be hitting its stride in episode 4.5:
The ladies had their way with the men in episode 4.6:
We learned more about Narcisse’s back-story, but this was another mixed bag in episode 4.7:
Another one bites the dust in episode 4.8:
A pretty strong episode in the areas of “moving the plot forward” and character development…with yet another character getting offed!
Nice set-up episode…whose gonna stand by Chalky?
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:
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?
Women made their moves in Ep 5.3:
Poor a shot of rum in honor of the dearly departed:
Ep 5.5 was the Muller and Eli Show:
Chalk this great episode (5.6) up to scribe Korder:
An amazing penultimate episode (5.7) masterfully directed by Coulter:
And the lights went out on the boardwalk…
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?
