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".
