Boardwalk Empire Season 5: Trailer #1 (HBO)
- Thread starter Drikus
- Start date
I used to think this was in the top 3 shows a few years ago but last year showed a distinct downturn in the quality of the writing. It ended with Nucky wanting out so we will see how they wrap up this series season finale
I agree with many of you that last year wasn't Boardwalk's best. I missed have Kelly MacDonald on a regular basis.
I enjoyed last night episode. The jump to 1931 should open up some new avenues. it looks like we will get to see how Nucky grew into his role with those flashbacks.

We were about to start this, what are the best seasons?
Off topic, we started Homeland yesterday, we are midway through season one and it's getting predictable with bland acting, bland directing, over acting female lead, storyline very similar to real life scenario about that women who got involved with al-Qaeda.

I finally got to watch S5 E1 yesterday and I have to admit that I enjoyed it.
I thought the flashbacks of young Nucky were very good. BTW these weren't flashbacks to 1931 but much earlier when Atlantic City was being built when Nucky was a kid around the turn of the century

I know it started in havana in 1931 but that wasn't the flashback to Nucky's youth which I thought you implied
now we're on the same page.
I thought the episode was very good.
I was somewhat in the dark as to who the guy was that tried to kill Nucky in Havana and ended up with a cleaver to the head
The young Enoch/ Nucky scenes took place in 1884.
Meyer Lansky was the person Nucky met in Cuba and I believe Nucky has now concluded was down there to have Nucky killed.
I thought the first episode was very good. One of the best in a while start to finish. We get to see how Nucky became Nucky and will get to see, I believe, the end of Nucky.
Well we know from history the people who survive and make a name for themselves, and Nucky ain't one of them. He's had many close calls that he has somehow wriggled out of one way or another. That kind of testing the limits is bound to catch up to you at some point. He's overdue to take the hit IMO and considering the show is pretty much all about him and what goes on around him it seems only logical that it will end with his end.
It slao seems like maybe he really wants to get out. They've alluded to that at one time or another.

Sorry if I wasn't clear about the flashbacks to when Nucky was a boy in 1884, when he first me The Commodore.
The show can end with him dead or alive, just so we do not have another Sopranos type ending.
