Boardwalk Empire Season Three 2012


      There is a LOT going on in this season and it begins on New Year’s Eve of 1922.  Gyp Rosetti is a Sicilian mobster controlling New York City.  He is a violent and he is an easily offended person.  Nucky refuses to sell alcohol to anyone but Rothstein in New York.  Nucky receives an award from the Roman Catholic Church for charitable work (actually accomplished by Margaret).  Transporting liquor through Tabor Heights turns complicated.  Nucky is enamored with Billy Kent and he wants to help further her career.  After the problems with liquor shipping in the Tabor area, Eli and Mickey visit Tabor Heights.  Nucky and his family share Easter dinner with Eli and his family.  Soon after, there is an attempt on Nucky’s life.  Nucky fights the physical effects of a concussion.  Richard begins seeing Julia, she is the daughter of an older veteran he met.  Gyp and his crew move into Atlantic City.  A full-scale war begins in Atlantic City.
     This series has you on the edge of your seat with every episode.  Power is the name of the game.  The power you have and the power you want.  Money is also the bottom line.  It’s just business and the sacrifice of a few people or more doesn’t matter?  Everything seems very realistic.  4* (I really liked this season)
