Boardwalk Empire

A newbie and a veteran debate what Alan Ball’s “show about death” is really about. 

The actress talks about her roles in film, television, and the spaces in between.

For some, online piracy makes sense. But waiting makes even more sense.

In yet more promising casting news for the third season of Boardwalk Empire, TV Line reports that the show has added “The Complete Absence of Paz de la Huerta” to its ensemble, who will fill the dead air once occupied by Paz de la Huer...

Even though thousands of Internet commenters have declared it “over now” in the wake of its controversial second season finale, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire continues to defy their edicts and be a show. And to that end, it’s dete...

Our weekly DVD review round-up.

Turns out the local actor is not all that into Golden Retrievers.

The A.V. Club's weekly list.

We pick the best shows of an extremely good year in television. 

We single out television’s most remarkable/strangest/curious accomplishments.

The best The A.V. Club had to offer in 2011.

What is a hang-out drama and why are they often compelling and frustrating at the same time? 

This hasn't been the world's best Amazing Race season, but we're still hoping the show pulls it out for the finale. Also, the finale of Boardwalk, the debut of Luck, and a good football game.

We check in with Pete Holmes’ new podcast, the Sklars get pissy, and an especially brutal Mental Illness Happy Hour.

The writers of Dexter thought they'd fooled everyone, but much of the audience guessed their big twist weeks ago. This week, we get to watch the wacky fallout.

Steve Buscemi is hosting Saturday Night Live, and we couldn't be more excited for him (and for us). Also: College football championships, lucky babies, and kitty cats!

Timothy Hutton has a twinkle in his eye and a jaunty smile on his lips, which can only mean Leverage is back. Also: Bart Simpson reads classic novels! Thrilling!

The premise for tonight's American Dad is really messed up... but possibly in a good way! Also, we've got your usual gamut of zombies, serial killers, and Pilgrims.

Slowly but surely, Boardwalk Empire has turned into a show we really enjoy, and now, there's a sassy prosecutor! Also, new episodes of Dexter, Homeland, and The Walking Dead.

One of Hollywood’s go-to smarmy bad guys also happened to be in Grease 2 and Breakin’. 

AMC debuts its new Western Hell On Wheels tonight, and it is railroad-riffic. Meanwhile, we've got new episodes of just about everything and a British spy drama.

For only the second time since 1999, The Simpsons are celebrating Halloween in a timely fashion. Plus: the Sunday drama glut, buying a haunted house, and the sucktastic Eagles.

Once Upon A Time debuts and makes us wonder just how an idea that's already based on fairy tales can still feel so unoriginal. Also: Your quality drama quota for the week.

In the first week of its third season—and its first airing on a Monday, without a cushy lead-in—HBO’s Bored To Death pulled in 240,000 viewers.

What's On Tonight? Trouble in the heartland. Got a head-on collision, smashin' in our guts, man. Also, the return of The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, and a host of other good stuff.
