Absolute Sheer Brilliance drama series. Superb character development. The production team went to town on the period costumes and sets. Saucy scenes, thoroughly engaging plotlines peppered with hard hitting in-context scenes of bootlegger gangster violence.

This is easy one if the best TV series ever made brilliant cast brilliant story lines in an era when money talks and can buy anything and anyone, be ready for plenty of violence sex drink and drugs and plenty of corruption everything you could possibly want in a box set hammering or a night by night treat either way u won't be disappointed!

One of the best tv shows ever, but as usual it's just too expensive on Google play compared to buying the blu ray version on Amazon. Come on Google, sort out your pricing.
