10 scenes that prove HBO really has no limits.

Famous tagline "no limits" is one of the best advertising strategies from HBO. Is it really true though? Yes. We get to see things on HBO that an ordinary broadcasting station wouldn't dare to show. And though Showtime and AMC have a fair share of shocking things in their shows, HBO still takes the prize for the most courageous station.

Saturday TV Special: Boardwalk Empire

Plot: Chronicles the life and times of Nucky Thompson, the undisputed ruler of Atlantic City in 1920's, who was equal parts politician and gangster.
Verdict: Without a doubt in my mind, the best show on TV right now, even better than "Mad Men". I strongly advise everyone to wait for the end of season 2 and try watching season 1 and 2 all at once - otherwise you will be looking forward to Sunday's evening and let's face it - that's jut not normal.
What makes it so great? I started watching season 1 in the middle of night this summer and I finished it 12 hours later. The series is incredibly engaging and addictive and so far it's actually even better than "The Sopranos". Season 2 is slightly different than season 1 - it's much more violent and shocking and the focus shifts from Nucky to other characters - even though the show changed direction a little, it's still at the same level of greatness. You know Scorsese is behind it - some things that happen to characters are as awful and unfair as what went down in "Casino" or "The Departed". The story is incredible, each character gets a fair share of development and there two honestly outstanding performances - by Michael Shannon as a God fearing prohibition agent and Jack Houston as Richard Harrow - war veteran, who is an excellent sniper, even though half of his face is missing which forces him to wear grotesque mask. Oh and that opening sequence...just outstanding.
