I think I might have sold my soul to the devil. And the Devil is Rupert Murdoch. Sky Atlantic is going to be my drug of choice in the evenings from now on I can feel it.
D'arvit.
Last night it opened with Boardwalk empire and the slow burning saga started. A lot going on, almost too much to take in really. Enoch Thompson is established as the centre of the piece and then there were a whole bunch of subplots being woven around him. Mrs Shroedder with her abusive husband. The guy who looks like a young Leonardo Di Caprio. Then there are loads of historical references with other proto gangsters turning up.
The slow pace allowed for a decent set up. But I feel a little like there was almost too much story and it also felt over long with countless adverts.
After that was Blue Bloods which is a cop drama starring Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg in a kind of dynasty about new york cops. It was a pretty good pilot with an interesting twist in the first episode and many questions set up.
The shows that Sky Atlantic are showing are just awesome and I can't help but get excited...
