Scorsese also directed this pilot episode and from what I've seen so far, it looks promising to be a show that I will add to my 'must watch' list. Airing on Sunday evenings on HBO, it is going to rival fellow period drama Mad Men, but as they cover very different eras of the 20th century I believe there is room enough for both (although I expect as the show continues we will be able to spot similarities, mwn vs. women, scandal, drink, etc). I hear the Emmys calling...
Oh and did I mention the soundtrack, you really feel like you're stepping into the 20's, look for the drop waisted dresses and head jewellery, will next season's catwalk be Boardwalk Empire?
