Image Detail

Due out January 9th, HBO's hit series Boardwalk Empire: Season 1 arrives on DVD/BluRay, and this couldn't have came at a better time (well, besides before the recent holiday season when I could have tossed about 10 giftcards towards it, but thats just splitting hairs). This first season is the perfect way for someone to jump on board, pardon the pun, to a groundbreaking series with uncanny acting along with epic cinematography to match. http://www.amazon.com/ has a Limited Edition verson for presale on its UK site here, which also contains a full-size book with color photos from the shows various scenes. Along with that awesome coffee table addition the set contains some behind the scenes goodies.

        With the 2nd Season's finale just taking place a few weeks back, Im sure its still available onDemand if you were waiting to watch the 1st season in order, which is recommended for this type/style of Series ( I do this for EVERY show I try to watch, since playing the "wait, now who the hell is that guy?" game is a nightmare for me).

        All in all, This set should definately hold you over in your own Speakeasy for a while, well that is until Game of Thrones is back on in Feburary, than your back freezing your arse off on The Wall....Good God.
