Damn...remember Boardwalk Empire was supposed to be a GOAT show?

[Gains]

s3 was great.

gyp rosetti the gawd

plus this scene

even s4 was really good minus the margaret stuff at the start

i will admit s5 was a bit of a misstep with all that they skipped

that mob war felt so forced


the only thing memorable about season 3 was was Richard Harrow clappin them Rosetti fucbois

As thoro a character as Gyp was, what was the point in him?

 

[jay211]

Gyp was a beast. One of the best villains on the show.

Yup. And he was there for 1 season only, no real reason for him being there, no story arc, and wasn't even killed by the dudes he had beef with.

season 4 n 5

 

[Lootpack]

went downhill when they had to kill jimmy because michael pitt is a psycho

while I watched every episode of this, I NEVER went back and rewatched this series.

I remember the first 2 seasons were kinda slow as well.

season 4 n 5

4 was the best season with the Chalky/Narcisse war and Van Alden joining Capone in Chicago.

I always thought the biggest flaw of the show - and a chief reason why Season 5 was so bad - was that Nucky Thompson was almost never the highlight of any scene. Buscemi is a great actor, but that character was such a bore compared to Chalky, Capone, Jimmy, the whole New York crew, his brother, even Owen.

Also thought the Atlantic City aspect of the show never fully recovered from Jimmy getting clapped in Season 2. There were still great AC-based characters like Harrow, but losing Jimmy meant losing one of the very few great fictional characters on the show.

wow didn’t know he had issues like that in real life that resulted in him being bogged off the show

 

[old pig]

thought the series was great when I first watched it (on a week-to-week basis) as each season aired but I did a rewatch and it didn’t stand the test of time imo…I wasn’t a fan of jimmy’s character so him departing the show meant nothing to me but still I feel like season 3 was around the time the story started to feel disjointed…show had some GREAT characters tho—chalky, gyp, purnsley, dr. narcisse

 

[Luke Cage]

seasons 1 & 2 and have a very complete story arc with no unresolved cliffhangers, so i just pretend the rest of the seasons don't exist.

Still one of the goats lines in TV from Capone...

 

[MenacingMonk]

I recently rewatched it and liked season 5 now more than when it aired.

Show is in my top 20-25.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

i still need to finish this, i watched live until season 3, and every time i try to rewatch to finish the series, i tap out in season 3

Still one of the goats lines in TV from Capone...

oh wow forgot to add capone to the list of great actors/characters on the show

*edit*

that was a dope little scene in general…talk about the cavalry coming thru gyp really had nucky under some SERIOUS pressure
