Boardwalk Empire

Available now on Sky Atlantic

A gritty crime drama set in the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 30s, Boardwalk Empire follows Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson, a growing political figure in Atlantic City, New Jersey, who plays both sides of the law in his quest for absolute power.

However, as he gains more recognition in both the gangster underworld and the government, he has to keep his wits about him.

The lead character is loosely based on the real-life Enoch L Johnson, and as such we see recreations of real historical people, including politicians and mobsters alike as the story progresses.

Graham stars in the series as Al Capone, one of the most notorious crime bosses in history, during his early years as a gangster, coming into the fold of the series at the age of 21.

But death isn’t going to stop him, and his consciousness is used in an experimental AI programme to bring him back to life… kind of. However, filled with glitches and lacking the instincts he had while alive, he causes more chaos than good for Carver and Major’s wife, Kelly (Anna Maxwell Martin).
