Trivia
Michael Stuhlbarg researched his role as Arnold Rothstein so thoroughly that the show's writers found that he knew more about Rothstein than they did, and they deferred to his judgment of the character.

Goofs
The series never showed most of the numerous large hotel properties that existed in Atlantic City during the 1920s. While this likely due to the cost of doing so even using CGI, it also makes the city look much smaller than it was.

Quotes
James 'Jimmy' Darmody: You can't be half a gangster, Nucky. Not anymore.

Slept on this for too long!

I just recently finished binging this show and I've gotta say I don't know what took me so long to watch. It's an amazing show with great characters and as a history buff I really enjoyed how they incorporated real life people into the story. Beautiful settings and costume designs as well. For anyone who hasn't yet watched this do yourself a favor and start now.
