There's few shows that can do scenes like this where you are just shocked or surprised because you've never seen it done before in an older series. It's a shame so many looked at it as a Sopranos clone when it was anything but.
The Sopranos was more of an in-depth character study in a Mafia setting, while Boardwalk empire is completely about the lifestyle of politicians and organised crime leaders back in the 20s. Completely different from the sopranos. I’d say it’s better than the sopranos in some aspects, it doesn’t waste its time on “dream sequences” or other whimsical bullshit to develop its characters. It’s also much better at showing how negotiations, hits, and meetings go out. It also does a good job at showing life on the other side, the ones who aim for justice. They kinda did this in the sopranos albeit poorly.
@@WhoopsieDayZ I loved Test Dream, but the others felt way too forced and trying to emulate twin peaks. But Test Dream will always be one of the greatest parts of any show ever
Black pastor: Mr. Van Alden has been banned from baptizing anyone effective immediately. That part at the end with Van Alden taking out his pistol !!? Don't tell me the doom music kicked in? 😨
I’m curious, what are your other top fours? I’m trying to get myself more into good quality shows. I know this is an 8-year old comment, so sharing your most updated ones would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
@@dignityputnam6641 some other high quality shows are Deadwood, The Wire, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Leftovers, Succession (this is the only one that is still running).
He killed one of their informants, and then hit himself in the head with a rock so he could say the informant (who was handcuffed) attacked him. Cant remember why, i think it was to protect Jimmy somehow? Van Alden found out and finally snapped.
When they first came upon these people I cried its such a powerful scene,so beautiful and pure with the singing and the word being delivered with conviction.
I just bought the first four seasons of this at my local Christian donation house(its like a St. Vincent de Paul or Goodwill). The lady who owns it is a preacher and we chat when I go in there to shop. I was excited to get the series, up till then I had only seen RUclips clips(but not this one). I was describing the Chalky White/Klansman "these my daddy's tools" scene...so she throws in some prayer pamphlets lol. Says I'll have to do some praying after watching it LMAO! I was gonna go in next time they open just to tell her how right she was with all the debauchery depicted in the show. I just saw this scene and at first I was thinking "well at least there's a baptism scene I can tell her about" Good Lord!!
"Boardwalk Empire" is a fantastic show but the unnecessary amount of adult scenes really ruins it, in my opinion. I love Nelson though! Always have since I first watched the show.
@@Red_Spirit11 same can be said about a lot of great shows, unnecessary nudity and graphic sex scenes that don't move the story along at all and makes it hard to watch with family members.

@@johnpoop5237 I want what you’re having lmao. Sebso took bribes from ocean city OC to kill the witness that would’ve named jimmy that was the connection to Nucky the county treasurer and head of the bootlegging as well as extortion card games and so forth. Sebso killed their one witness en route to a safer prison and agent GI Joe knew it and never shook it cuz he’s a psycho but also a damn good agent. He killed him cuz he knew he couldn’t trust him cuz he was on payroll
I would say something about this, alas the censorship being what it is these days with the current owner's of this platform and a certain rather popular search engine....well lets just say my lack of saying anything should tell what should be said but can't. Remember, the Truth Fears no investigation and Voltaire was right.

Being set in NJ and about gangsters whilst sharing cast and crew is why. Aside from, you're right it's different. The themes for instance.

@@juanjoyaborja.3054 Dream sequences were some of the best parts of The Sopranos. Especially Test Dream, Fun House and the coma episodes.

I have to admit that I find it much, much better than Sopranos
Sebso never had the makings of a varsity swimmer.
Varsity jokes r retarded
This isnt a sopranos clone.
Smal hands. That was his problem.
@@JakeKoenig Junior, if there any flies on you they are paying fuckin' rent
Thus began Nelson’s decent into the abyss.
I could honestly listen to people from the 20s talking about scripture/gospel for hours
It's like ASMR for me
ahh the delusion of religion.. sad how many people have been poisoned by the utter lies and clear psychobabble nonsense 😂
fast forwarded to the 60's....MLK did it for me
Try looking up HBo's Carnival.
Michael Shannon was great as Nelson Van Alden in this show. Great acting and great character development.
"You cannot turn from Him Sir... whatsoever the compass points, He's there beside you"

Black pastor: Mr. Van Alden has been banned from baptizing anyone effective immediately.

Nelson never liked that guy 😂
He knew he was a cop who was bent to shit. One less shitheel who tarnished his badge.
His subconscious probably knew that Sebso was working for the other side.
His character got better and better from here.
It was this scene that won my heart for this show
Hallelujah
Michael Shannon is a brilliant actor. I loved Van Alden’s character development, his descent into darkness.
Sebso should have just said YES to the question!
A man has got to know his limitations. 🤔
The fact that ol'boy didn't see this coming. Sure as hell didn't see that ending coming but still.
And as he was washed clean in death van alden was dirtied all the same
Lol pretty sure that happened when he met Lucy.

Hope the shoes found a new owner…
“I have never left Him deacon”
“I just bought those…”
Taking the wind out of him before each dunk! 🤣
Death by baptism. Who’d have thought?
Was there a main reason Nelson Van Alden killed him just asking
I think he thought he was working for the other guys
And he was Jewish
He killed one of their informants, and then hit himself in the head with a rock so he could say the informant (who was handcuffed) attacked him. Cant remember why, i think it was to protect Jimmy somehow?
Van Alden found out and finally snapped.
@@Ben-ux5mz they killed jesus
He was working undercover for Nucky, and Nelson knew he was behind murdering a witness
Brutal Scene, best in my opinion

Lol!!! This made me laugh so hard 🤣 did you end up telling her about this at all?
Unreal scene
Just another day at my church
Pray for the fish…
Wondering if Van Alden would let him go if he accepted the Christ
press x to doubt
That would require a confession.
Of course he would... He gave him a chance.
@@matthewriley7826but yes he also wanted him to confess.
it was a fucked up scene but i found it funny asf
same, its such a good meme format.
This is pretty much what they did to non-believers before the year 1800.
And in this case he wasnt wrong to do it.
Based
Was this supposed to be hilarious or is that just me?
This is the funniest shit I've seen in ages!!
I think it was just showing that Van Alden was conflicted and insane. lol
The guys Jewish and val alden kills him by a Christian baptism. Lol
Nah I laughed hard when I first saw this scene. Glad I’m not the only crazy assh*le out there

This is how Ben Shapiro is gonna be redeemed by Christ
As an atheist this is my actual nightmare lol
hmu if you ever change your mind and wanna get baptized.

Don’t worry. It’s the 2020s. This is a century before, when atheists were treated like shit. Just don’t stay near deranged believers like Nelson here.
Don’t listen to the two dipshits above me. Christianity was, is, and will always will be a pile of bull crap.

"I just bought these....?"
Why did he not defend himself?
Because Van Alden is 9 feet tall. 😄
He's a bit strict with the Scripture's interpretation. Just a tad!
More of an Old Testament fan it seems.
