Ah, my bad. I understand now. Season four was pretty much Chalky's most integral role in terms of his involvement in the main narrative. Season three finally got him a better position within the grand scheme of things, what with his alliance with Nucky against Gyp—which ended up paying dividends for him (at least at

I believe episode two is available for streaming on SundanceTV.com, so…your call, my friend.

Fair enough, I'll agree that, even with his role in the main plot, he wasn't utilized as much as he maybe should've been in season four. And that's certainly true for five.

If you're talking about the last season of "Boardwalk Empire," then you may have a point. However, I thought Chalky was outstanding in the later seasons—particularly season four. That season finale, "Farewell Daddy Blues," has some of Michael K. Williams' best work. That was a gut-wrenching episode of TV, yet

As someone who only found out about "Hap and Leonard" through an AVC article yesterday, I've got to say: this show is pretty excellent so far. Love the rapport between Purefoy and Williams, it's both humorous and indicative of their strong bond. And I have to say, the intro really brought back memories of the first

Was not at all implying that people aren't nowadays, much less that the problems have been solved. People—especially the lawyers for the prosecution—just seem extraordinarily naive about it in the time depicted in this show, to the point that it pretty much torpedoed the prosecution's case in the most high-profile

The last fifteen minutes of that episode is some of the greatest TV writing of all time, in my opinion. MKW's work is matched only by the last scene with Harrow. Just masterful.

"How to Succeed…" is one of my favorite musicals of all time. It's got such a flair to it, not to mention its humor and the way it deconstructs pretty much everything about corporate life in such a gleefully derisive way. Other than "Brotherhood of Man" (which is just amazing), I think the original movie's rendition

Shit, it's the same writer and director that made Cold In July? I'm sold.

I know, right? I'd seen maybe one article previewing this show in the past few months, but promptly forgot about the entire thing. Then I see an interesting picture on AVC, click on it, and now there's a whole new, cool-looking series to watch! Pretty awesome.

Robert Morse and Nathan Lane. If you'd asked me which new show would be bringing together some of the best musical theater actors of all time, "American Crime Story" would not have been my first guess. But it's great. Now please excuse me while I go YouTube Robert Morse singing "Brotherhood of Man" again.

"We're here to tell a story. Our job is to tell that story better than the other side tells theirs." Now that's a hell of a line.

Holy crap, the first five minutes of this episode were just brilliant. From the way Johnnie sees through the crap of the "reason" the cop pulled him over, to seeing the stares of people who don't know the context of him being handcuffed, to his daughter uttering that awful word…damn. I know the main focus of this show

Well I was very young when all of this was going on, but I'll look her up.

I have no idea what you mean by this.

I wouldn't know about that. The character seemed to be depicted as a man here.

Oh I'm not saying that they were somehow wrong to have said it or to have felt that way about her. I can see how she might come off that way to others, so to each their own. I'm just amazed at the effect that those focus groups seemed to have on the prosecution's whole strategy—and so quickly, too. That surprised me

"We're gonna get him."

I saw the scene where Marcia and her partner are listening to the focus group's comments as an encapsulation of how outside, and often negative, commentary affects the way an average person perceives current events—as well as the people within them. Plus the camera work was just perfect, the way it rotated around

(Somewhat) relevant: https://www.youtube.com/wat…. Just because I love the song from "How to Succeed…" Some pretty funny comments in there too, not the least of which is: "Like 80% of these shows are canceled."
