Thanks for the recap, but you completely left out that Capone\’s brother handed the ledger over to the D\’Angelo.

What\’s wrong with the history of Nucky in Boardwalk? So what if we already know some of the things that eventually are going to happen ? What the history is trying to show is how Nucky became the bloody and violent gangster he is now and how can you show it without the most influential people in his prime? Seriously though man , you\’re taking this as person who wants to hate on this show. The show is great , provides closure but like people have said rushed and that\’s the only dissapointing thing about this season . Believe it or not this is good story telling , I don\’t know where youre getting all this Joel Harper gonna kill Nucky lmfao .
Don\’t watch this show if all you\’re gonna do is give bad reviews and piss people (me especially) off.

"Improprietous" is not a word in English.

"and therefore we learn he\’s really responsible for Gillian\’s current situation"
You can\’t really complain that this is being tied up too neatly with this "revelation". We\’ve known that it was Nucky who handed the child Gillian over to the Commodore for a long time. Gillian stated it in an early season.

Also, you clearly missed the point of Van Alden\’s death. His actions here caused the incriminating ledgers to be handed over to the feds, which will directly lead to Capone being put in jail, so Van Alden has accomplished what he set out to do in season 1 (although he\’s not alive to see it): put away a dangerous criminal in the name of the law. Aside from everything, the phrase "it doesn\’t feel right" is utterly meaningless.

REVISE YOUR WRITING. The character\’s name is Mabel, not Eleanor, and she kills herself; she does not die in childbirth.

Mabel killed herself after their baby died. She didn\’t die in childbirth. It was even more horrible. Nucky didn\’t even notice the baby was dead for several days while Mabel was losing her mind.

Neat review, spot on concerning Chalky and Nelson.

Really feels like the series finale is being rushed. It feels like they easily could have squeezed in a season before this one, dealt with Lansky and Luciano\’s ascension, the death of Arnold Rothestein, how the crash affected Nucky, etc. also, I\’m real life, Nucky has a very boring ending, we all know what happens to Capone, and Lansky and Luciano become the top gangsters for a while.

Where do they get these jokers? What a shitty review. I thought it was a great episode but what do I know, I don\’t write for some crappy website.

Learn some basic film history. Those weren\’t producers, they were the actors George Raft and Paul Muni, very very famous early film stars.
