Lucky and Meyer were very unique in the world of gangsters. Mobsters stabbed each other in the back all the time. Lucky and Meyer were true friends and looked out for each other.

When Rothstein smiles at your attempt at an insult, you never know if he's smiling cos he thinks it's funny, or smiling cos he knows you've just screwed yourself. Most likely, though, it's both.
@@eshel4463 I know right? Even in this clip you can see Lucky has misgivings about Benny, then later he decides to use mafia money to build a casino in the middle of the Nevada desert…
Joe always liked Charlie a lot on a personal level because of his charisma and toughness, you can see it in the subtle smiles he always gives him like at 11:38
Have to admire how Luciano show his knowledge of Yiddish and Meyer show his knowledge of Italian. When Luciano tells Bugsy "understand" in Yiddish ("farshteyn"), it just adds so much richness to the characters and the teleplay. However, I found it curious that the producers routinely used subtitles for the conversations held in Italian but never for statements made in Yiddish. I mean, did they expect the viewership to be knowledgeable of Yiddish but not Italian? When Luciano tells Meyer that Maseria hates your pretty face ("sheyn pnim"), again no subtitles.
savage642 Frank never got his hands dirty. Benny Siegel, Vito Genoese, Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis killed Masseria in real life. Siegel and a few of his guys killed Maranzano for Lucky. I think the character you mentioned maybe a combination of a few characters
Luciano and lansky are like an old married couple. Lucianos like the quick to temper tough guy husband and Lanskys the cool cunning and collected wife who works strategy.😂😂
And I could 🌟 stare LOL not star my auto populate bc he reminds me of Eric Weinstein & Jessie Eisenberg fr is it just me or is it lusciously uncanny ? ! 😆
Charles Luciano in real life seems like the most opportune to soak game from the best in his environment. Smart of him to split the responsibilities of decision between board members.
Ooooooohhhhhh and I also noticed at 13:43 when the deal was stuck with Joe Masseria, Lucky, and Meyer there were no handshakes... Business Back Then... I'm guessing that's a Bad Omen.
Nobody ever talks about Nucky Thompson being a real person controlling Atlantic City. Boardwalk never gets love over Sopranos even though its based off of real people.
Because for a long time he was an average gangster like everyone else who answered to higher up people , it wasnt until after the castallamarese war he rose up
This show is more accurate to history than I originally thought, before I read more on the period myself. Obviously Nucky is highly fictionalized but the references to Bill Lovett, Pegleg Lonergan, Brooklyn, Frank Uale's operations etc are all accurate little references. The only error among all this is that Rothstein got out of bootlegging very early but it's a pretty minor detail considering it fits the script, much like Nucky's dramatization and the fictional Rosetti
this show has like the best cast ever to play every single roll this is the real masterpiece of all the crime drama tv series of this century even better than Breaking bad , The Wire , Sons Of Anarchy , & Power!!!!!!
@DeltroxTv Tbh, it's part luck, part genetics/preference. The reason why I started smoking pipe is that it's genuinly only form of smoking I can enjoy(it's smoked like cigars). I do not know if "ordinary" ciggies have something that disagrees with me: paper, glue, tar? I just felt sick everytime I tried. Pipe-tobacco is somewhat less processed but has more nicotine, so I can get that relaxing feeling without nausea.
Loved the "shot to nothing" reference to snooker - did not expect this from an American TV show - Snooker's a wonderful game, deserves more exposure in the US.
Notice how lucky is a very strong personality very into his work , yet Meyer was able to ease that aggression and help lucky see a bigger light and picture not to mention Meyer was a great speaker , hard to hurt the guy when he knows his words and his stuff
I never understood when he said "English so my partner understands", when in numerous episodes after and even since Meyer shows he speaks fluent Italian.
he isnt fluent thats why u see him say few words here and there. also when charlie was talking to joe mayer definetly was wondering what they were saying. if u really speak a person native language its obv an advantage to use it. people like other peoples who cN do that, it earn sumpathy

Rosetti is the only guy Luciano never jumped up at after being insulted.
Luciano was barely in his 20's at this point so if he jumped up he would get beat down or killed.
He even stood up to joe the boss but not gyp.

Yep, too bad it got overshadowed by the Sopranos otherwise that could’ve happened.
1:10 When Nucky Pinched his cheek, Gyp looked like he could have killed him on the spot 🤣🤣🤣
Joe Masseria was played brilliantly. He became my favorite character because of how great that actor was.

I think it was both at this point xD
Considering he tried to have Gyp killed later, I’d say it’s the latter.
He’s smiling because if you run shit that’s what you do. Deal with it later.
That's okay, I wasn't really interested in hearing Nucky say "Rothstein"
I always loved when Meyer and Luciano were on screen together, always stole the show by just being there
I love how Lucky makes Masseria laugh.
Lucky, Meyer, and Benny actually cared about each other. They each looked out for each other and cared about their well being

Luciano is one of my top 3 most favorite characters in the show along side Al Capone and Mickey Doyle.
Especially the actor for luciano cool guy
Gyp Rosetti: What the fuck is life if it's not personal? I Agree fully.

"He might've be born hebrew, but I bet you anything he had a sicilian wet nurse." -Lucky Luciano about Meyer Lansky.
@John Bistis ooh...interesting...
When Luciano was exiled to Italy it was said that he really missed corned beef on rye sandwiches which were unavailable to him.there
@John Bistis uh oh that’s considered anti Semitic
@John Bistis conservatives literally do the exact same thing
A penny less than the whole "GEEDISS" 👉🏼 YOU WALK👈🏿 lol my ABSOLUTE favorite line in season 3 episode 1
Really surprised they never had Frank Costello in this show. He was heavily involved with Lansky and Luciano in the early days.
savage642 Frank never got his hands dirty. Benny Siegel, Vito Genoese, Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis killed Masseria in real life. Siegel and a few of his guys killed Maranzano for Lucky. I think the character you mentioned maybe a combination of a few characters

I think Board Walk Empire is the best gangster series HBO or anyone else has done. It is much underrated in my view I've watched it four time.
The way Masseria says Nucky Thompson is fucking outstanding!!
Nobody ever talks about Nucky Thompson being a real person controlling Atlantic City. Boardwalk never gets love over Sopranos even though its based off of real people.
It’s a known fact and there are numerous videos... it wasn’t Nucky Thompson it was Nucky Johnson
Love both shows, but love Boardwalk empire more.
