	Author	Review
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The series gets better and more engrossing with time, but it takes more than a few episodes for it to clear its throat, establish its bona fides and fall into storytelling stride."	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"Like a good whiskey, it's rough and smooth in all the right ways"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"With echoes of the gangland mentality of 'The Sopranos' and the frontier recklessness of 'Deadwood,' HBO seems to have found in Boardwalk Empire a fertile, sprawling new franchise series."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'Boardwalk Empire' is doing what I wish Prohibition had done--it's tempting me to stick around for one more"	POS
United States	Noel Murray AV Club	"Judging by the first episode of 'Boardwalk Empire' (...) this is going to be one of the most reliably exciting and satisfying shows of the new TV season."	POS
United Kingdom	Martin Chilton Telegraph	"'Boardwalk Empire' may not have gained the popular acclaim of 'Breaking Bad' or 'The Sopranos' but it is one of the most exceptional, multi-layered television dramas of the past 25 years."	POS
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"The most cinematic show on TV. Visually, it's stunning (...) The first season feels like a launching pad for grander things (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
