Considering that Nucky is the main charachter on the show, is it a little too early to have the Feds checking on him in the first two episodes??
Made me a little uneasy too I guess. Is it historically accurate that the Feds were this ready to mobilize the second prohibition was enacted?
I have no info to back it up, just opinion, but I assume that the government was fully aware that there would be an instant black market for alot of alchohol and were prepared to fight that battle immediately.

I thought that it was a little weird too, especially considering that Nucky was so brazen about flaunting his wealth despite his legitimate income being so low (though I guess that the casinos were legitimate). Up to that point in time, I guess that most people weren't that afraid of the Feds, given how provincial life was? (Though Nucky was certainly unsettled by the visit.)
I guess I was just surprised that the feds would be on him so soon in the storyline. I'm thinking it might limit his activities without really seeing how ruthless he was at the time.
I could be way off, but I hope his story isn't all about him being chased by the feds, I want to see alot of gangster stuff.
Maybe most of that activity comes from the young guys; Jimmy, Capone and friends?
