Really digging this show. The stuff with the IRS guy and Nucky should be fucking aces. The bit with Nucky just pissing away the 3k was great but Jimmy and his mom was fucking CREEPY.

Wait, she's Jimmy's mom? I completely missed that. Durr...
I'm really liking this show so far. I like that they're mixing in real people with the ficitional guys. It's still a few years out timeline-wise, but I hope there's a nod to Irey and Wilson since they've included Capone.
Ain't that just like a Kraut? Brings a knife to a gunfight.
I'm likin' this so far, but I have to admit it's not lighting my fire in an explosive fashion. I have high hopes it'll hit its stride and get REAL good - like must watch or I'll just DIE good - very soon.
Also, I mentioned to my wife just before episode 2 started that there's a historical incident involving Nucky Johnson (why they renamed him Thompson, when the show's based on a book written by his grandson, with said grandson's blessing, I'll bnever understand) and Mayor Hague from Jersey City fixing a gubernatorial election. Don't know if anyone noticed this, but he mentioned that meeting coming up in episode 2. My wife looked over at me & rolled her eyes as I thrust my fist in the air with Jersey City pride (what can I say? I LIKE history, all apologies to Rerb n' Lersley). I SO hope that meeting is actually filmed. I'm dying to know who they cast in the role of Frank Hague if they do.
I like the way the line runs up the back of the stocking.
It's slowly working its magic, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they had to get a T-rex poop-load of exposition and setup out of the way with these first couple of episodes.
