Old’ish thread bump but I just picked this show up, absolutely phenomenal so far. As someone who loved Boardwalk (sadly it got the Thrones treatment at the end), this show certainly fills that void.
I will give one gripe with the show so far: I am 2 episodes into Season 2 and I don’t like this version of Tommy nearly as much as I did Season 1. In Season 1 when Tommy walked into a room, everyone shut up because they knew he was the baddest dude in the room.
Two episodes into Season 2 and Tommy has already been beaten nearly to death, he’s getting bullied by the Inspector to do a mission he doesn’t want to do, he’s had Tom Hardy’s character pull a gun on him and talked his way out of it, a random man/woman at a table pulled a gun on him and he talked his way out, even Aunt Polly has put a gun to his head and he’s talked his way out of it.
I’m hoping that all turns around in the upcoming episodes, I’m ready to get back to that version of him that took no guff from anyone.
