used to be in my top 3 but I marathoned it recently and it wasn’t as good as I remembered...that’s not to say it’s bad/trash but I just didn’t look @ it as upper echelon TV the second time around

...also I was not a fan of the jimmy darmondy character like everyone else was...I understood his plight but still felt his character was a huge drag on the show and unfortunately he was too integral a character to overlook...I think that had a huge impact on my enjoyment of the series the 2nd time around

on the flip side dr. narcisse is probably one of my top 5 TV drama characters

I respect the opinion...I feel the same

That specific argument though can be hoisted for any of these shows. The last season’s were typically bad
i thought the first half of sopranos last season was bad, but the second half is great.

i thought breaking bad last season was very good, although not the best.

i think the wire last season is its worst, but also it's still decent.

last season of Boardwalk Empire is flat out :trash:

it doesn't really top the others at their peak imo either.

I respect it

I feel like Season 3 & Season 4 of BWE gives any of them shows a run for their money

WHen they killed off Jimmy the show became trash :camby:. Could have had a whole season of him calling the shots while Nucky had to claw his way back, that shyt would have been :ohlawd:. Luciano, Lansky, Rothstein, Capone were far more interesting than Goo-goo-googly eyes :mjlol:

Show was full of wasted potential and it didnt help that HBO killed it off for that rock and roll flop they canceled after like 3 episodes :bryan:

Nah, Boardwalk isn't on that level. Hurt when they wrote Jimmy off and then they rushed the fukk out of the last season and the ending was:francis:

Wasn't the show runner's fault. The actor is an a$$hole, he's apparently difficult to work with. He killed it in an important role on Hannibal, but then asked off the show.:unimpressed:
