Arguably the blueprint for a show like "Peaky Blinders", "Boardwalk Empire" is an epic political drama starring Steve Buscemi as Nucky Thompson. Thompson, based on the real life criminal kingpin Enoch L. Johnson, is a political figure who rises to power in Atlantic City during the prohibition era.

It was nominated for nearly 60 Emmy Awards during its run, winning 20 of them. Its cast contains prolific names such as Kelly Macdonald, Jeffrey Wright, Stephen Graham, Bobby Cannavale, and Michael Shannon. Its pilot episode was even directed by the iconic Martin Scorsese.
