Boardwalk Empire ended because HBO couldn't justify its cost even if it was a critical darling. I would have liked to have seen an season about the downfall of Arnold Rothstein just for Michael Stuhlbarg, but I realize they had to jump forward to end it.

I liked last night's episode since it had a fair bit of comedy interjected into it. It was also a nice surprise seeing John Cameron Mitchell pop up as Andy Warhol.

ruddiger posted:When Richie rolled up to the projects where that party was jumping and the DJ was doing some early scratching/break beats I was all like "let me out, I want to watch that movie instead." They're going to have to do something with that because 1520 Sedgwick Avenue is credited as being the birthplace of Hip-Hop and rap and that young DJ was likely DJ Kool Herc, who started tinkering with break beats in fall of 1973. I have a feeling that's what Little Jimmy Little's arc is going to be about.

I think it's interesting that Richie Finnestra is apparently part black but admonished Devon with a slightly racist tone about her wanting to get down with Hannibal. Anyways, this show is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I'm really digging it.savinhill posted:It was Kool Herc, there was a line in the latest episode where Lil Jimmy referred to him by name. I'm glad they might be going into the early days of hip-hop because it's a realm that isn't seen often in media. It's typically post Sugar Hill Gang/Grandmaster Flash/Treacherous Three-era stories that get the attention and never the nascent hip-hop period between '73 and '79.

Binary Logic posted:Not unexpected for a Scorcese production to have an unlikeable anti-hero lead but I do agree, coked-up accessory-to-murder Richie does not seem to have any redeeming qualities at all. It would be better if we saw more of Zach (Ray Romano), he seems more reasonable and friendly. The leader of the Nasty Bits is Mick Jagger's son and Mick Jagger is an EP on the show, so I think that solves that mystery. He's easily the worst actor on the show by a large margin.

Martman posted:Haha, I haven't watched this last episode yet, but "holy poo poo lol" and "this show sucks rear end" make me think I'm in for something on the level of an "it was all a dream" reveal or something. Nothing that egregious. I feel like one of the few people that likes this flawed show though. I think it's because watching Cannavale playing a lovely, drugged out loser that's spectacularly exploding and ruining several lives is just entertaining enough to keep me involved. That and the fact that I love 1970s music and fashion.

Binary Logic posted:doo doo doo doo SA TVIV Headline Compilerbot interrupting this thread with breaking news: I was coming here to post that but, yeah...this was Winter's dream project along with Scorsese's, so that takes the wind of its sails. I imagine the murder plot also made more sense when Vinyl was originally going to be a movie.
