The first season was good, but this second is on a whole other level. And it might end up as one of the best shows ever.

Boardwalk Empire: Great Show.
Just starting watching a new series from HBO today – with a great pilot from Atlantic City in the 1920s and Prohibition. 18 Emmy nominations, directed by Martin Scorsese, great music and visuals, nice characters. Steve Buscemi is doing a great job, same with Al Capone and Lucky Luciano. Off to a promising start.

Adams on the American Revolution
Just done with the Hbo John Adams series from 2008 – excellent show. The last episode depicts an aging and somewhat bitter John Adams, who proclaims that nothing is as false as the modern european history, “..except for modern American History.” “The real and true story of the American Revolution is lost…. ….forever……”
“This scene never happened.. it’s a shameful fiction for posterity”.
A chat with George III…
John bows after a brief chat with a slightly disturbed George III – who is the first to “meet the friendship of the United States as an independent power”, since it had “been made and having become inevitable”..
See ya later..
