Very good show overall but I felt the final season was a little flat. Season 3 was probably my favorite

The show lost a lot once the charismatic presence of Michael Pitt left the show.

I enjoyed this season, agree that the first 3 seasons are strongest ...

The casting of Young Nucky was particularly brilliant. And seeing the moment Nucky sold his soul was pretty powerful (especially considering the way that was set up... that Jillian was not just a random girl he brought to the commodore, but actually a girl who had stayed in his home, bonded with his wife, and received his promise of protection).

It also explains a little more about why they spent so much time with Jillian's storyline... since it was so critical to Nucky's story.

I liked the Capone capper (the scene with his son was pretty cool, and I enjoyed the headshots of Capone putting on his mask for the reporters).

Where the hell did they find the young Nucky actor? My God so spot on...

yep, it was like the picked the guy and had him watch the whole series to get Buscemi's mannerisms and master gestures down. It was an excellent impersonation.

I was wondering why they felt the need to go back to the Gillian story, because I was sick of her a while ago. I guess now we know. Good way of explaining how Nucky came to be what he came to be.

The young adult Nucky did a good Steve Buschemi impression, but WTF was with those teeth? They barely could fit in his mouth. They were just hilariously ridiculous. I mean, Bushemi's teeth are crooked, but they're not gargantuan-makes-Elway's-teeth-look-tiny teeth.

It's a damn shame for the show, too. I think Boardwalk Empire would have been a much better and more complete story had Jimmy been part of it the entire way.

Just thinking about it, there are so many interesting things they could have done with it. How cool would it have been to see Jimmy working with Lucciano and Lansky to take control of everything? Or working with Capone to try to help Nucky address Murder, Inc.
