I can't see Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire without hearing, "Omar' comin' " in my head.

Netflix just released Season 3 on DVD. Steve Buscemi is terrific. Kind of weird seeing Uncle Junior almost unrecognizable with all that facial hair. Also unsettling is that several characters appear to diverge quite a bit from other portrayals of them. For example Lucky Luciano is usually portrayed as rather calculating and unemotional. In "Empire" he's more reckless and impulsive. I think of Al Capone as much more charismatic than portrayed in "Empire".

Boardwalk is easily the most unappreciated show in awhile.

I think because Season 1 was kind of slow and rough to get into, but last 2 seasons have been money.
