TV on DVD: 'Boardwalk Empire,' season 1

Series Prohibition proves lucrative for Steve Buscemi's corrupt Atlantic City official, who crosses paths with mobsters like Lucky Luciano and Al Capone. Executive producer (and pilot director) Martin Scorsese helped create this adult dramatization alongside key crew from "The Sopranos." HBO just finished airing season 2, so this sturdy first-season box plays catch-up.

Extras Fertile featurettes reveal Atlantic City's real-life history, series production, boardwalk set creation, with bonus commentaries and more.

Blu-ray Disc adds interactive picture-in-picture history/production insights.

List price $60 DVD/$80 Blu-ray for 12 episodes, out Tuesday from HBO.
