It is perfection. There, I said it. I used to like Steve Buscemi. Yeah, I&#8217;ve seen Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and any number of his other films. I even remember a short film called &#8220;Tonight&#8221; he did for MTV years ago where he walked around and around a girl he was trying to seduce, ending it with a silly neck move and the Michael Jackson quote &#8220;Sha-mo! Sha-mo! Who&#8217;s bad?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But when I found out that HBO was coming out with a 1920s based TV series a few years ago, I about wet myself. And when I saw the first episode, I knew that a TV producer was finally on the same plane as me. The dialogue, the set design, the costumes, everything. The detail is so spot-on, I hang on the edge of my seat for each new episode.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing how productive I can be when brainstorming in front of the TV, taking note of the model of a car, the glimpse of a particular billboard for a well-placed product, the lace apron effect on a woman&#8217;s dress, or a man&#8217;s spats can give me a glimmer of an idea. All it takes is a little flash, and I can add a small detail I hadn&#8217;t considered.<\/p>\n<p>The music keeps my toes tapping, and the violence keeps me watching. I mean, what&#8217;s synonymous with the 20s? Gangsters, of course.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thank you, HBO, for <strong><em>getting<\/em><\/strong> me! <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/bebox.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-370\" class=\"size-full wp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/bebox.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boardwalk Empire, how I love thee.
