‘We All Have to Decide for Ourselves How Much Sin We Can Live With’: Boardwalk Empire Recapped

Let it be known that Boardwalk Empire saved its best for last. After a first season of downs and slowly rising ups, “A Return to Normalcy” was anything but — a 60-minute high wire act that produced the best Empire moments of the season. If the finale is any indication of what we can expect from the HBO series during year two, expect many, many people to place Boardwalk Empire at the top of their Best Of lists in December 2011.

If only more film students would take criticism so constructively. That said, aren’t there enough movies that already unintentionally fall into this genre?
