Is it me or does Boardwalk Empire not get enough love on M/TV?

I didn't start watching until about a week or two a ago and over all I love it. (Big organized crime guy.) That being said I've enjoy pretty much every cable drama that this board holds in regard, but I don't see as much love for this one. Why is that?

S3:E2 is what I'm on so don't get nuts with spoilers. Foreshadowing is acceptable.

I find it gets more love here than most places.

The ratings/viewership has fallen off a little for Boardwalk Empire

I wish we could get 10 plus pages for every show, instead of just GOT, Breaking Bad, and Walking Dead (its insane how much attention Walking Dead gets; it's good but c'mon)

I'll probably feel that way soon. It's getting stale to me.

Season 3 of Boardwalk was the best one yet on a show that has gotten progressively better.

Frick all the GoT fanboys on here. Boardwalk >>> Got. Anyone who disagrees sucks cock by choice.

Don't worry from the info that I have heard for season 4 things are going to be a lot different. One thing that has hurt the other season is putting establishing characters in their places. Now they all are so you'll see a little more moving around.

As for the GoT comment, hold on I need to go wipe my face.

Well, I guess Boardwalk Empire doesn't get enough talk in the "off season" that I see for other shows. Even ones that are already finish. (The Wire... not that there's anything wrong with that.)

You're aware they were talking about TWD, not BE, right?

Dafuq?

ETA - Now I see.

To that end, I totally agree with their comments on TWD.

...and stand by mine on Boardwalk and GoT.

There's one particular event that I can't mention because of spoilers that turned me off from the show considerably. It's not as enjoyable to me watching shows with entirely immoral characters. It helps to have some redemptive people around.

- I guess you're on season three so you know what I'm talking about.

I really like boardwalk. I know its been said eleventy times before but the only thing keeping it from being great is the amount of screen time Margaret Schroeder gets.

All mob shows/movies have women in them for obvious reasons. I am not sure why she takes up a third or more of each episode. Her storylines are always some feminist power struggle bullshite or her fighting her fricked up moral compass.

I do not find her compelling or entertaining, and her voice drives me insane.

Why not give Chalky or Capone more time? both of those guys nail every scene they're in.

Do they let Schroder have so much time to try to pull in the female audience? I am not aware of any women that give fricks about this show.


tl:dr Margaret sucks.

I find it hard to decide whether or not him or AR is my favorite character.

The two are fairly comparable in the sense that both are sprawling ensembles, but I feel like GoT does a much better job of staying on point.

They are able to bring every thing back together in Boardwalk each season, but there's so many characters it really drags at times. It's unacceptable that we go 2-3 eps sometimes without Chalky White.

Sometimes the show seems to forget who its strongest characters really are.

I think it's a good show, but not great.
