Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Fourth Season [5 Discs] [DVD]

Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition is a place where the rules don't apply. And the man who runs things -- legally and otherwise -- is the town's treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, who is equal parts politician and gangster. Side by side with his brother Elias, Atlantic City's sheriff, and a crew of ward bosses and local tough guys, Nucky gains a reputation as the man to see for illegal alcohol. He does business with all the top gangsters -- Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, "Big Jim" Colosimo -- and he does it well ... until a former protégé takes matters into his own hands, setting the Feds on Nucky's tail.

While it lacks the greatness of Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones, it's still another winner in the HBO historical series. Honestly, I think they made a big mistake bringing the Darmondy affair to an end in the second season. It should have been a series- wide arc culminating in the final season, with James and the rest scheming to betray and undermine Nucky, and the latter slowly getting onto them, until it all comes clear. Still, it is what it is, and while Season 3's war against Gyp Rosetti seemed more like a one-off excursion, something bigger is brewing this season. Fan Favorites Chalky White and Richard Harrow feature heavily, and the always good Jeffrey Wright joins the cast as a seemingly civilized intellectual who reveals himself to have a very dark side, and Michael Shannon's former FBI agent turned fugitive goes in some promising directions. Just a preamble for the next and last season, but don't miss it.

Season four of Boardwalk Empire. This was my favorite season so far of Boardwalk. Everything that happens this season is bringing everything together for the final season which is about to air. Nucky and Eli are headed down a path that doesn't look like it will be good for anyone. With the introduction of some major new characters as well, season four gets better each episode leading to a ending where you have no idea whats going to happen! Leaving you hanging for the final season to see whats in store for all our favorite characters from New York to Jersey to Chicago and now Tampa! Check out if you have already checked out seasons 1-3. ENJOY!!!!

Boardwalk Empire is my favorite show and I have been an active fan since its release. This new season is probably the darkest of them all. It welcomes in significant roles for minor characters and gives a large story arc to some of them as well. We say goodbye to some long time characters but welcome some new ones that are just as enjoyable. This season does nothing but excites me even further for the conclusion, season 5.

I got my first taste of Boardwalk Empire on Black Friday when I got Boardwalk Empire season one. That started the binge that didn't stop until I watched every episode of every season. Season four kicks up the action and story line to edge of your seat excitement. Just when you thought you'd seen it all, here comes season four. You can't miss with Boardwalk Empire.

HBO has done it again...Boardwalk Empire is a riveting series set in Atlantic City during the 1920's. I am usually not a big fan of period tv but this series has me hooked. Do yourself a favor and watch it...you will not be disappointed.

Great season really the beginning of the end for Nucky, like the whole series this is nice to own and a great watch. Picked this up on sale for $15, Best Buy always has the best prices and if they don't I always price match! Love having a digital copy with every blu-ray I buy, and HBO doesn't disappoint.

I have been a huge fan of this series since the beginning. To hear that Season 5, the one after this one, is going to be the last makes me kinda bummed out. The story and characters make this a worthwhile series. I love this era of history and the writers truly bring the Prohibition Age to life.
