Boardwalk Empire Premiere

There's only a day to go before the premiere of Boardwalk Empire on HBO and the hype and excitement is reaching fever pitch. Online it's the only show anyone is writing about, we're seeing real-time results on Google and Bing and the Twitter & Facebook conversations are now impossible to keep up with. Expect to see that mania peak now and every week until the finale in 3 months time.

Reviews of the show have been almost universally positive and HBO's marketing efforts have been second to none. The huge budget has generally done the trick to get people talking and we've only seen one or two detractors.

From taking over of Bloomingdale's to the constant barrage of new promotional trailers, interviews, multimedia and general hype, HBO has made a statement that they have a lot of confidence in the success of their latest show. The positive reviews suggest that this confidence is not without foundation.

We can't wait to see it - be sure to return and share your thoughts and reviews. We'll try to get a review up here as soon as possible for UK fans.

Here's the most recent 14 minute promo from HBO to get you in the mood:
