Eli and Mueller finally get some screen time and they wind up at the worst dinner party ever. Go to Full Review Craig D. Lindsey New York Magazine/Vulture 01/02/2015
3/5
Well, we have three episodes left in the Boardwalk Empire saga and, as "King of Norway" shows, things are beginning to unravel at a breakneck pace. Go to Full Review Genevieve Valentine AV Club 01/02/2015
A-
Though this show enjoys its careful balance of meditations on a theme, pitch-black comedy, and gleeful bloodbaths, [it's] best when Boardwalk Empire cuts to the bone: This is a show about family, and that can be as poisonous as it gets. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 01/02/2015
8.3/10
We've essentially gotten five episodes of build so far, though Chalky finding Daughter right there at the end felt like one of the the first signs of true story-shock... It's a good build, but the enjoyment of "setting the table" can wear thin. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 01/02/2015
As far as endgame construction goes, pushing the characters toward some kind of accountability is not exactly a new idea, but it does offer a welcome sense of structure for the remaining three episodes to play off of. Go to Full Review Anthony Venutolo Newark Star-Ledger 01/02/2015
I don't know where they found Marc Pickering but let's thank the bootlegin' gods that they did. Wow. Did this young actor capture the very essence of Buscemi and Nucky Thompson. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
