But Boardwalk Empire was not merely content to fill the void left by Tony Soprano. With Martin Scorsese directing the pilot and Sopranos alum Terence Winter writing, the show used its first season to craft a distinct, opulent, and violently poetic identity of its own. Looking back, the first season of Boardwalk Empire stands as a towering achievement in world-building, acting, and historical synthesis, setting a standard for period drama that few shows have matched since.
Jimmy is the ghost of World War I. He is haunted by the trenches of France, which makes him both fearless and deeply broken. He desires Nucky’s approval but despises his caution. Jimmy is the show’s tragic heart—a young man who wants to be a gangster but doesn’t understand that the old world (Nucky’s world of political graft) is dying, replaced by the violent, corporate crime of the 1930s.
Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi), the city’s treasurer and de facto boss, runs a corrupt system of kickbacks, bribes, and alcohol distribution. When the Volstead Act makes booze illegal, Nucky’s side business becomes a multi-million dollar empire.
