Why Boardwalk Empire Should Be the Next Series You Binge Watch

Let's just get this out of the way and say that Steve Buscemi is an outstanding lead, carrying the show with a character so complicated and darkly hilarious that you forget it's Buscemi. He's sometimes terrifying, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and sometimes so sincerely warm you can't believe he's a gangster. Before Boardwalk Empire, I'd never been much of a Buscemi fan, but episode after episode, his performance is the best of the best, and in 2010, he took home the Golden Globe for best actor in a TV drama.
