Beautiful costumes, stunning set pieces and riveting performances -- after four seasons the brilliant HBO drama Boardwalk Empire continues to amaze and surprise, prompting critics to hail it as "one of TV's most compelling dramas" (Variety). Season Four of the Emmy Award-winning series traces the continuing rise of organized crime and the expansion of Nucky's (Golden Globe winner Steve Buscemi) empire into far-flung territories, while also taking a closer look at the rapidly expanding role that African Americans played in U.S. culture throughout the 1920s, with the addition of Chalky White's (Michael K. Williams) Onyx Club and a new gangster from Harlem (played by Emmy Award winner Jeffrey Wright). It's a season filled with music and dancing, but not everyone has reason to rejoice. Get caught up before the fifth and final season debuts!
