Boaring walk empire

This series sounded so promising. Directed by Coppola, starring indie fave Steve Buscemi, and with a huge budget. I watched half the pilot, but after I was expecting to see Bugsy Malone appear with a cream gun, I had to turn the darn thing off. I just could not find interest in any of the characters.
Watch the opening sequence though. Beautiful work. the show could just have been that, I would have loved it!
