Don't get me wrong... I am enjoying this well made HBO Series. But something is not quite right with this show. I love Buscemi, but he seems oddly miscast... he's so vastly more intelligent and a lot sharper than everyone around him, except Margaret. Just compare Nucky to his dimwit brother. It doesn't add up. Margaret is fun to watch in her dealings with him and everyone else. We like her a lot. Very cute too. Some of the gangsters are interesting to watch, Rothstein, Luciano and Capone. And the Fed after Nucky is getting more interesting. Liked the tough guy act when he punched out the Celt during the raid. Worst part on the show is Jimmy. The guy that plays Jimmy sucks so badly. We hate it whenever he is on screen, he is *that* bad. And Jimmy's mother is a very strange character. What was that with trying to take the kid away from Jimmy's ex? And Luciano's hard-on for her a couple of weeks ago. Hope they develop her plot line a lot more. It has potential.
