The guy who plays Capone Stephen Graham is from my city Liverpool in the UK one of the greatest actors of our generation a lot of people don't know he is actually English. Even though he is a movie star he still comes back to the city and teaches an acting class in his old neighborhood.
Great actor. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the new season of peaky blinders.
Stephen Graham has never done a bad acting plot in his life and he deserves more recognition ; very underrated actor.
Dude he crushed that role. Truly amazing.
He's a great actor. He's been in some really good movies and shows
He's absolutely amazing in This is England, also I can't wait for him to be in Peaky Blinders!
Boardwalk is easily one of my favorite shows of all time. The writing was phenomenal
Except for the Gillian Roy storyline, how that made the final cut is beyond me.
@@sonnyblack0870 totally agree, that whole story made ZERO sense Also the way chalky and Richard died.
@@timstradley5819 Ya for real I hated the way those two were killed off. Especially Chalky, totally unsatisfactory.
@@sonnyblack0870 yeah having them die is one thing but at least give them some dignity! Two of the best characters in the show and they go out like punks!
Hell Jimmy and His Mom drunk sex scene was Mind blowing too fucked up he went & Joined the Army to escape
This series also contained one of the great Michael K. Williams (RIP) best performances as Chalky White.
“What’s a ‘Mother Fucker’?” Great reaction to a Chalky White line.
The man was so underrated...
Richard Harrow, my favourite character. True to fact, veterans at the time were given facial prosthetics to cover up deformities from the war.
Actually since COVID and masks, more women talk to me.
@Bruce Michael same here, chalky as well.
@Bruce Michael yeah that whole Daughter storyline was stupid to me. I loved Narcisse as a villain, but the added love story just didn’t make for convincing character actions
They could have done better with the last two seasons
Hed make a shitty sniper though
This was one of my favorite shows ever made, with great characters and a fantastic weaving of fact and fiction. The final season was decent, but this show could've kept going for years and never lost it's charm for me.
🛡
Buscemi said he couldn’t do it anymore. It was too dark a character
Finished way too early
Disagree it ended exactly how it needed to.
@Barry Allen not true, a lot of it was fiction, made for TV drama. Nucky Johnson not Thompson came from an affluent family in New Jersey, he wasn't Catholic or Irish he was a Methodist, Nucky Johnson, was never connected with a single act of violence let alone a murder, he did make a lot of his money because of prohibition and the sale of liquor, but he also gave back a great amount of that money to the community, after the Volstead act was repealed Me. Johnson also helped open up a lot of alcohol rehabilitation clinics, and did not die on the boardwalk but in his own bed in his 60s. Gyp Rosetti a main character in season 3 was not a real person, and the idea that Arnold rothstein, Charlie Luciano, Meyer lansky, Al Capone or any other Jewish or Italian mobsters where in cahoots with Nucky Johnson is unproven hearsay and television drama and fluff. It was a great show, some of the mafia story lines are true, but for the most part boardwalk empire is an act of fiction based in a time period where you could mix a lot of fact and fiction to tell a great story.
Man! The Boardwalk Empire was an amazing series. Thank Michael for your perspective on this series.
Jimmy Darmonnnndy 😆 made me chuckle how he said Jimmy's name. Richard Harrow is one of the best characters ever. I was truly sad when I seen what happened to his character. He did t deserve to go out like that. He deserved happiness.
Lol and Nooky Johnson. It's Nicky Thompson
@@room31722 lol Wow it's neither of those. He's saying Nucky Johnson, the real life person the character is based on, and the character is NOT Nicky Thompson. His name is Nucky Thompson.
He got happiness…went to Heaven with his loved ones forever
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 "He was a soldier. He fought. He lost."
The best show of all time. It’s a damn shame HBO didn’t want to keep funding it so they forced Winter to wrap it up. My favorite show of all time.
Well the 20s was only 10 years
@@trevornoel9 and here I thought it was only 120 months 🤔
I'm the guy that did not watch when it came out. I watched several years ago on night shift. I just finished re watching it. Holy cow! What an excellent show.I pout it right there with Sopranos & Deadwood. I'll be watching again for sure!
@@shanebarfield2925 I started watching it when I first commented here and now I'm on season 3 episode 6 so far. Its a good show indeed 😎👍🏾
@@shanebarfield2925 dont know how people talk about peaky blinders that show its overrated for me and board walk empire its 10 times better
Min 12:35 “CONSUMPTION” was how they refer to TUBERCULOSIS back then.
Gyp Rosetti was hands down one of the greatest villains in television history. Bobby cannavale murdered that role 👏
It was a masterclass in acting watching him. The scene where he meets Chalky White with all his henchmen for the first time to introduce himself, man, that was something else
@@johnrichardson5713 that scene where he insults everybody at the table was pure gold
It's interesting how in the first Rosetti episode, they quote the old comic strip "Gasoline Alley" with that Skeezix reference and in the last he sings the Barney Google song which was from a comic strip of the same vintage.
When he was singing Barney Google!😂🤣😅
He’s a damn good actor remeber him from nurse Jackie even at 3-5 episodes he’s a beast of an actor
Sicilian born Ivo Nandi is absolutely fantastic portraying Joe The Boss Masseria in Boardwalk Empire.
I love the way Mike makes an Irishmans last name Jimmy D. Sound Italian! 😂
Haha yeah I was thinking the same thing. Irish surnames can have complicated spellings, but for the most part they are English bastardisations of gaelic names. They are generally phonetic. Darmody is literally pronounced Darmody (or Darmudy)! 😂 I do kind of like Michael's pronunciation (and cadence) of it though!
Yup!!👍👍
Ikr they put olive oil on everything
Jimmy Dormandi is a pretty cool name
You can't do better than Boardwalk Empire, all the foundations of the 20th century in America in 5 seasons.
I just wish they would've had a few more seasons
Boardwalk empire is my fav show glad that you talking about it
@@michaelfranzese thank you Michael
The guy with the face injury from the war and has to wear a mask was absolutely brilliant ...his humanity and his struggles .when he enters the hotel to rescue the kid is one of the best things I've ever watched .
Micheal Shannon as the ex fbi agent is excellent aswell ....really enjoyed this series .
“Tommy, close your eyes.”
Series died whne Michael Pitt left. Killed of Jimmy Darmoday, the most charismatic character. Remember when thopse two heavies tried to rob him and he dispatched them like a lion against two woodlouse.
Same as Hannibal the series. He came in as Mason Verger, one of the most evil characters ever, found out her sister was pregnant and had the foestus pulled out and her fallopian tubes ruined so she could never conceive. and was superb, it was the end of nseason 2 which was getting really weak till he showed up, so really looking forwards to season 3 and Michael Pitt had quit!
And the season dropped
The Mob Era from the 30’s is fascinating!!
Michael "you can take the boy out of brooklyn but you cant take the brooklyn out of him" Franzeze

Hands down my FAVORITE tv series of all time.
Boardwalk Empire and The Wire are the greatest T.V. shows hands down.
Agree. Chalky and Omar 2 of the best characters ever.
You should interview Tony Sirico! He’s not doing well these days but it would be awesome to hear the stories he has about the Columbos back when he was in the family as an associate
He probably can't really have an one on one conversation now, he's a little too gone. Sad
@Jeepman89 i dont blame him, nobody wants to hear Steve talk about himself and cutoff guests nonstop anyway. I love the sopranos podcast but Steve ruins it and you can tell that Michael notices how Steve is
I would absolutely love to take a university class on the history of organized crime in America with Michael as the professor. He’d make those long lectures so interesting. I could honestly listen to him talk for hours and never get bored.
Stephen Graham also plays Tony Provenzano in The Irishman. His improvised acting legit scared Al Pacino during one take where he knocks the ice cream bowl from in front of him
I just started watching Boardwalk Empire for the first time ever and I'm on episode 6 in season one. Its already a masterpiece show in my opinion. The acting, the women on the show are gorgeous especially Kelly MacDonald, the characters, the setting, etc. The scene where Capone, Darmody, and the head Italian guy go meet with the one Italian guy about Greek town territory. They discover that Darmody has a brass knuckle knife on him and soon as they get ready to leave, the front desk girl hands them their coats back and Darmody and Capone takes all of those mafia guys out. That whole sequence of scenes were so beautifully done.
It was a knife Jimmy had in his boot that he saved from the war but it had a handle that went around the fingers. The show just keeps getting better and better and Steve Buscemi's portrayal of Nucky Thompson is one of if not the best lead roles in a crime drama, even more so than James Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano. The show has some of the best writers, a great cast, and it's the only TV series that really does a good job of covering the Prohibition-era. Even the smaller details like the way the boardwalk looks and the suits that they wear make it look that much more authentic.
You've probably seen it all now but imho the 1st season, although great, was definitely not the strongest one. The show just got better and better. To me its up there with the sopranos
Broadwalk was one of the most violently beautiful TV series ever made!!
Michael, you gotta get rid of that mustache cause it's against the rules.
-Lefty (Donnie Brasco) 😂
Lol and get a pair of pants. This ain't a fucking rodeo.
Tell that to the grim reaper
forget about it
😂
Board walk Empire. Thank you for reviewing it. I love this show.
I am born and raised in Atlantic City so this show is a local favorite
The reaaon I love Michael is because he is a good man with a good heart who sees the mistakes of that life, yet he never ratted or snitched. He discusses the business and his past life in it, however he never named names and never turned on anyone and did his prison hit like a man. Not only that, he came out better and tries to keep others from making the mistake of leading a life of crime since the government has absorbed most crime syndicates (they do not like competition).
This is the review I've been waiting for! The most underrated series ever imo!
Buscemi kills it !! I just got done with season 1. Love it. Some great historical flashbacks . 💪🏼🤙🏼✌🏼🇺🇸🇮🇹
Keeping watching just gets better, Pay attention to details and every character. One of the best ever made! 👍
Steve Buscemi did an amazing job, physically he isn't about to intimidate anyone - but as you go on, you realize if it were real life, he is not a man you want to mess with. Brilliant job. Amazing story - highly recommend it to anyone that hasn't seen it.
Enoch "Nucky" Johnson attended and signed the guest book at my grandfather's funeral.
Two things:
-Her name is margaret, not kelly, that is the actress
- Nucky's wife dying of "consumption" is a turn of the century way of saying she died from tuberculosis
good vid tho
I kept calling her Diane the entire series because the first time I saw her was when she was in Trainspotting.
I put the same thing above lol. He seems to make a lot of mistakes with stuff like that in his videos
I thought he said she took a razor to herself after their baby died?
Well since someone started nitpicking, let me jump in with a couple of my own...
-Its Jimmy Darmody , not Del Monte.
-Its Nucky , Not nookie (though there's nothing wrong with a little nookie).
@@ndogg20 "Its Nucky , Not nookie" That that to Eddie Kessler
Heck Yes! I've requested this for months. Uncle Michael always comes through.
@@michaelfranzese Great idea to break it down into Multiple Episodes. This Series is too great to skim over in one video. Each season has a few epic Episodes to cover. Scorsese was involved with this from the start which is what made it so great IMO
Would love Michael to do a sit down with British actor Stephen Graham who played Capone in Boardwalk Empire and was in The Irishman
Stephen Graham is amazing he Reminds me of Pesci sometimes the mob genre had a good Future with him
This was a great series on HBO. I loved it.
Michael Franzese could you do a review on Sexy Beast?
I absolutely LOVE Prohibition mobsters and Boardwalk Empire was a damn good show. I have always knew Steve Buscemi as a great character actor and pretty much on a list of actors who usually die in movies but this was a great turn heel as a villain.
I like the prohibition era guys too but for some reason I’m more of a 70s - late 90s kinda researcher
If you're looking for more shows from that time period, look up Baccano. Great show that deals with gangsters, immortals, and general freaks of nature.
The lite novels are even better, if you're willing to find the digital translations.
@@Delightfully_Bitchy I’m familiar with Baccano
Michael, you're channel just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait for Armond and Chaz to come on. 🔥🔥🔥
The guy with half a face was the best character and they killed off the young guy too quick
The last of season four was by far the most devastating season finale I’ve ever seen.
I agree that they killed him quickly, but his character had reached an end and that one act affected so much down the road. As for the half face guy, a great, 3 dimensional character!
richard harrow was a great character
apparently there was major problems with the actor who played jimmy dormandy on set, and thats why they killed him off
I always enjoyed the agent Nelson character the best. Played by Michael Shannon.
Jimmy Darmody was the one your talking about as far as being killed off too soon and in real life he didn't die that way, he grew to be old and Jimmy Darmody wasn't his real name and him and Nucky Johnson (which is Nucky's real last name) didnt meet till Jimmy was older and not as a young boy.
Great video, FYI though - 'Consumption' is actually an old term for Tuberculosis 'TB', that's what Nucky says his wife died of. Not many people know that but I know it as i'm Irish born and my Great Grandmother and a few of her siblings died of it in the early 20th century so grew up hearing my family talk about all the old deaths from 'Consumption'.
The Volstead Act was actually enforced-not by the FBI-but by the Treasury Department (the Secret Service was also a part of the Treasury Department from its inception until shortly after 9/11 ca. 2003). Van Alden and the other prohibition agents investigating Nucky also commandeered/set up HQ in a post office because it was the only federal building in the area.
This show was absolutely class. So well written and captured the times so well
Boardwalk Empire is my all-time favorite show, seen it for like 10 times and more to come. The cast is of high quality and the acting is superb. Also the crew that put all the work in keeping the authenticity of the sets deserves everlasting standing ovation.
Armand Assante did a few mob roles. I enjoy everyone of them. Chazz, that's gonna be good too.

The best hbo series of all time. Im from Atlantic city
So underrated of a show. Definitely deserves a spot next to the great shows of tv.
Finally Michael 💪🏻Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
I think his name is pronounced Nucky instead of Nookie! 😂 great show though!
He pronounces it the same way the butler does! 🤣 And I think he thinks Darmody is Italian so he calls him 'Darmonde'.
Who the fuck is Nookie and Del Monte? What show was he watching?
it seems he mis pronounces a few names lmao
@@BostonsF1nest He obviously did not watch a single second of Boardwalk lol
@@tamdam yea... that’s how I feel
mr michael has so many years out of the mob, but for some reason he still have that aura of command and respect that just makes me wanna say to him "godfather"
My favorite series of all time!
Hey Michael!! 2X Monday! 👏 God Bless from The Bronx 👊🙏🇺🇸
Loved every second of this show... guy who played luciano especially was fantastic from the very beginning!
BORADWALK EMPIRE SEASON 3 BY FAR THE BEST MOB SHOW EVER MADE
GYP character was GREAT!!!!
I loved how the IRB thought he invented the Thompson sub machine gun .
Boardwalk Empire was great
‘It was actually 2 midgets fighting, I’ve never seen that before!’ Lmao
Glad to see Michael can still be surprised!
This was such a great review. I very much admired how you mentioned Afrian-Americans moving up to Atlantic City and basically trying to start a life. Wish this part of history was added in the first episode of Boardwalk Empire
Mike's retelling of the Boardwalk Empire/Atlantic City story is do close to the stories I tell as a historian/tour guide at The Gangster Museum of America in Hot Springs AR. Wide open town from 1927-1967 and all the big name Gangsters came here. No heat. No hassle.
Hi Michael great review from a very underrated show in the UK..learned alot during that show about the start of the five families and the outfit in Chicago and the difference between the 2 city's maffia set up with the outfit having a strong Neapolitan leadership and most of the families in nyc at the time having a strong scillian leadership ....thanks again from Glasgow Scotland 🏴
This series was amazing. By far the best depiction of organized crime and the gangster genre ever made.
Awesome! I was one of the members who suggested this show. So glad to hear your thoughts on it
Vincent Piazza was the best Lucky Luciano EVER!!! He did EXCELLENT in that role and by the final season he was Boss of all Bosses! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Please Do THE WIRE. BOARDWALK IS A CLASSIC SERIES. ONE OF THE BEST.
you mean him read the wiki for the wire, than say hes ognna do a review of the whole show than never come back? Yeah, hes got you
I don’t know if he’ll do the wire it’s mostly from the police’s perspective specifically Baltimore and he’s from New York but yeah that would be cool
Boardwalk empire should have gone on another 2 seasons its a great TV series
I've been waiting for Michael to do Boardwalk Empire!
Dear Mr. Michael, it’s actually “James *Dermody* “
Great great work! I really thank you for this.
@@deff9436 😊
I wish Michael would watch first 2 seasons of HBOs series "Oz". Italian mobsters play huge part in that, I'd love to knw his opinion on how realistic that show actually is based on his own life in prison.
@Bruce Michael i like that show but it was a bit cartoonish
Boardwalk is actually one of the Best most factual yet underrated shows ever made. If you watch carefully the details of everything is amazing!
It wasnt all that factual
I'm originally from West Virginia and my family made a FORTUNE back in the day by running moonshine from WV up to Detroit, Cincinnati, and Philly. My grandpa used to talk about how the big city mobsters and crooked cops would always try to take advantage of him and my uncles because they thought they were a bunch of gullible hillbillies. Nothing could be further from the truth because my grandpa stuck it to them time and time again!
Stephen Graham nails it again as Capone
Armand Assante is a brilliant and convincing actor.
loved him with Denzel Johnsonton is American gangster and Gotti but everything he's ever played is great , his dialogue , his manner of speaking is an absolute sale !
I loved this series its so well written and cast perfect. Such amazing acting in this Steve Graham as Capone cmon its killer
Thank you for discussing this series. I hope you get to watch more episodes, because I like this series better than "The Sopranos." "The Sopranos" is by far one of the greatest series ever produced, but being a big history buff, I just love "Boardwalk Empire." And I'll argue that this was Steve Buscemi's best work, which is saying something considering his incredible career. This series is so well cast, so well written, so well acted, produced, and shot. It really puts you in the time period, and I've watched it twice. I even love the opening theme song. Plus, it doesn't pull any punches about the ugly side of prohibition and the rise of Cosa Nostra, along with the corruption of politicians and some wealthy individuals of the time. It has compelling characters. I think Jimmy Darmody is probably one of the most tragic characters of the whole series. I feel bad for him, but then I also hate him. He has been through so much serving in the Army during The Great War (World War I), but his whole origin is tragic and mired with sickness.
Great serires. I could go on and on about it. Thanks for what you do. Much respect.
I've been searching my family history, and found out that my great-grandfather August Kissinger was one of the captains that was bringing booze in on the New Jersey coastline. I found a newspaper article with his name on it and in the article were Court transcripts in which he refused to answer questions pertaining to who the alcohol was being transported for or to. Refusing to talk that's what people did back then, dishonor was more important than a prison sentence. If you did keep your mouth shut did your time like a man your family was taken care of financially while you served your sentence.
One of the greatest shows ever made
thanx, Mike .this is one of my favorite series ever! and I too loved the sets and how they nailed the period like a hammer on a nail. ironically, it had a rock theme song. but the content was strictly 1919, and into the 20's.
I loved the way that Nookie would codeswitch during meetings and speeches.
One of the good things about your delivery is that you describe movies in the present tense instead of the past. May not seem like a big thing but I like it and it's the right way
-When he said his wife died of consumption, that means tuberculosis. -Also, it’s pronounced James (darm-a-dee).
-And there is no one named Kelly in the show.
Thank you - I was about to post the same thing. Consumption = TB
@@bbjeppson I heard darmondie and I was like huh? But since its Michael we will forgive.
Kelly MacDonald is the actress who plays Margaret’s real name.
@@thisblackgirlslife she was also in "No Country for old men" and "Trainspotting"
@@TheBaBaTV but when you're doing content for TH-cam and reviewing things like that when youre able to edit these mistakes shouldn't be in there. Darmody isnt hard to pronounce lol. Somebody on his team should've told him.
We had a saying in my group, tell it to the marines. Thumbs up Michael, your father loves you.
I heard you mention Thompsons wife "died of consumption...from alcohol." Consumption is dying from tuberculosis not dying from drinking alcohol
Love the channel! Keep up the good work!
Exceptional series ! It gives you an addiction ! I watched the first season in 10 non-stop hours ! 👍😉🙂
Sir/ma'am, the math is not mathing. There are 12 episodes in season 1. The first episode is 73 minutes long, subsequent episodes are 53 minutes long. 10 hours is 600 minutes. 11 x 53 = 583 + 73 = 656.
I find it both hilarious and endearing how Michael is constantly botching names of characters 🤣
I've been suggesting this for months Michael. I'm glad you finally listened to us.
Consumption was tuberculosis, not consuming alcohol. Love the channel!!
I already know this about to be a great one. Hope you had a awesome day as well Mr. Franzese
Do The Deuce next! I want to see your take on organized crime's involvement in the adult film industry.
I remember a quote from Ken Burns' documentary about prohibition. It went something along the lines of that there are two kinds of law-breaking. The first kind are the types of crimes that *most* people will not commit, even if they could get away with, it because it's morally wrong and their conscience won't allow it (murder, theft, r@pe, etc). The second kind are the ones that people don't consider to be morally wrong (eg, driving over the speed limit, jaywalking, running a red light at 3AM on a Sunday night, etc) and therefore will usually break it when they can get away with it. Prohibition fell under the second kind and that's why it failed so miserably. People didn't consider drinking to be morally wrong (unlike what the prohibitionists believed) and therefore didn't believe that it was a crime to break that law.
Great video, about a wonderful series. BTW, In the old days "Consumption" was another name for Tuberculosis. My favorite character in it (besides "Nucky", Steve Buscemi), was "Richard Harrow" (Jack Huston).
When my Grandfather came to New York in the early 1920's from Sweden, his first two jobs were working for Arnold Rothstein: First as a race track shill (in this case meaning a person at the track spreading out the winning bets on crooked thoroughbred horse races to keep suspicion lower and the odds higher), and later as a truck driver for bootleg liquor. He only did them for a couple of years then moved on. He died in the 1980's long before I thought to ask him if he ever went to Atlantic City for a load.
Your the best Michael!!!! Did you know they just made a Sopranos movie called
“The Many Saints Of Newark”
You should do a review on mob movie Monday!!
I don't think it's available to watch yet
I'm glad HBO let this go back up. I used to love Boardwalk Empire.
When you watch a series like this, you're more interested in the rackets they had going on, the times/culture and businesses.
When I watch it, my head is remembering Little Carmine quotes at every opportunity.
""Now for whatever reason, certain incidents have expired lately that, in addition to being dangerous, could have an adverse impact on our respective bottom lines."
that sums up, the whole series.
I watch this show in it’s entirety , once a year . One of my favourites
I saw this earlier and really enjoyed it Michael. Weird I sent back to rewatch and it was blocked. Guess copy rights or something. Anyway, Armand Asanti, Chazz Palmeteri, and cast from the Sopranos? 🔥🔥🔥 Keeps getting better. This is my favorite TH-cam channel 👍
Consumption was another term for tuberculosis. So Nucky's wife died of terberculosis, not alcohol.
No, she commited suicide by slashing her wrists when their baby died.
Oh man. Now you make me want to watch the whole series again . Great breakdowns Mike
A very good review as always Michael, we totally enjoyed the Boardwalk Empire series. What really stood out to me was when you mentioned the origin of “Tell it to Sweeney”. I was in 7th grade in a Catholic school being taught by a nun who was old as dirt with a little bit of crazy mixed in. She used that phrase with us and I never knew what it meant until now at age 69, so thank you for that❣️
"I cant even say his name, that animal Blundetto, Tony Soprano's cousin"
Oh wait, this is Boardwalk Empire.
