Boardwalk Empire - Season 2

Atlantic City, 1921. In a city whose fortunes have soared in the wake of Prohibition, Nucky Thompson is paying a steep price for wielding ultimate power in "the world's playground." Though the 1920 election is over, Nucky finds himself the target of a federal investigation for vote tampering - and an insurrection by those he counted among his closest allies. Steve Buscemi stars in the hit drama series that charts the continued rise of organized crime at the dawn of the Prohibition. Taking the relationships that were developed in Season One, "Boardwalk Empire" raises the stakes for just about everyone in Season 2. Nucky Thompson and Michael Pitt (as his surrogate son and primary enforcer) form a mentor/student bond to outright rivals. Most of the episodes capitalize on this split, as major characters are forced to align themselves on one side or the other. And this power struggle brought new depth, new cunning, new betrayal, and new ambitions to the surface in a variety of ways to the principle cast.
