    Bored? Seriously?! HBO make some of the best series going and this one is a goodie I think - thumbs up from me, but then I do have a thing for good gangster stories and Steve Buscemi is a legend.

    I'm enjoying it. Nice to see a 1920's ganster feature, where Al Capone isn't the main character!

    Watched the first 3 or 4 episodes but it just seemed to lack something to really grab me.

    Did enjoy Hawaii 5-0 though

    I'm glad someone else has found that..everyone keeps telling me how amazing it is. I watched the first few but just wasn't captivated..not enough to devote a couple hours a week

    Meh just found it slow and not that interesting, besides I had the 2nd series of Spartacus to fill my naked women quota

    Generally speaking the first few episodes of any series will be scene and character setting. The last few episodes of AB have been far from slow.

    The obvious exception is 24 where they try and fit as much disaster and excitement into every 4 minutes (to fit into US ad breaks and presumably the average US viewer's attention span). I enjoy the odd 24, but you have to accept that each of the 300 story lines is farcical and utterly unbelievable. Apart from Bauer's invisibility cloak of course, for that is real. Oh yes.
