Boardwalk Empire
“Boardwalk Empire” is a historical drama centered on Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, a character inspired by the real-life Enoch L. Johnson. Nucky was a significant political figure who wielded power over Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 1930s. Throughout the series, Nucky engages with various historical personalities, including gangsters, politicians, federal agents, and ordinary citizens who admire him. The federal government becomes interested in the illegal activities, such as bootlegging, occurring in the region, dispatching agents to probe potential mob ties while also scrutinizing Nucky’s opulent lifestyle, which is unusual for a local politician.
The show was adapted by Terence Winter, an Emmy Award-winning writer and producer, from Nelson Johnson’s book “Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City,” which explores the life of the historical crime boss Enoch L. Johnson.
