Boardwalk Empire's season finale was awesome last night.

[SHOW]

The murders of the D'Lessio brothers leading right up to the Sousa march on election day.

<points to thread title>

I thought it was decided to spoiler until a week after the original airing!

BBC America is playing the top gear Bolivian rainforest special. One of their best.

Anyone catch the Simpsons episode from Sunday night? I watched it last night on Hulu, and it was very odd.

[vinsanity]

Newest Dexter.

[SHOW]

Not sure how I feel about the Liddy thing. The blood drop will make it interesting. Maybe it'll get pinned on Quinn?

The preview makes next week look awesome. Is Deb FINALLY gonna figure it out? I actually wouldn't mind Stiles to return. Hated her before she got this role. Maybe it's some of the horrendous acting in the show, but I think she's down well and Lumen has grown on me.

TV is great.

Starz made it official Monday morning, ordering 10 episodes of the 1960s-set Miami drama "Magic City."

Mitch Glazer is the writer/producer of the drama, which is centered at Miami's Miramar Hotel "at the dawn of the 1960s." Starz prexy/CEO Chris Albrecht announced the pickup. Here's a descriptor:



As Frank Sinatra rings in a new year in the grand ballroom of Miami Beach's most luxurious dream palace – the Miramar Hotel – its visionary leader, Ike Evans, must deal with the Mob, his complicated family and a city in the midst of dramatic change as Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba, just 200 miles offshore. By day the hotel at the center of "Magic City" is all diving clown acts and cha-cha lessons by the pool, but at night Miami Beach reveals a darker truth. Dopers, dealers, strippers, gangsters and those who arrest them drift together to hear the top nightclub acts perform. Just beneath the surface, racial tensions stir. Ike must deal with all of this, even while global intrigue is brewing right under his roof.

"Mitch has created a world populated with unforgettable characters and with a big, dynamic story," Albrecht notes. "The talented creative team that has come together for 'Magic City' will ensure a show that we think audiences won't want to miss."

"I was born and raised in Miami Beach, grew up in those swank hotel lobbies. I love that world and those stories," Glazer adds. "Miami in the early '60s was a tropical crossroads, America's Casablanca – the Rat Pack, CIA, the mob, JFK and anti-Castro warriors – all hanging out in the same Collins Avenue nightclub."


Glazer exec produces with Geyer Kosinski and Tony To. Show is set for a 2012 launch.

For those of you who, like me, know without a doubt that you would love Breaking Bad but for whatever reason just never got into it yet, AMC is reairing the first three season in order, starting next week.

Time to clear some DVR space.

It's gonna be your new favorite show.

Dexter Finale:

[SHOW]

Kind of disappointing, Not a lot happened. The only real satisfying scene was the one w/ Brenda letting them go. Other than that, even killing Jordan was kind of lame. Lumen leaving the way she did, even lamer.

When can I buy season 5 of Dexter on DVD?
