Jimmy provided a history and a link to Nucky that added much depth to the story. Jimmy was a very intriguing and well written character with much emotional and psychological depth.
Although the show moved on with continued success it lacked the overall richness of season 1 and 2.

He should've shot Eli. Jimmy was a badass character.

I feel the show has been lacking a lot since then, would have preferred they just ended it right there and I would say it's one of the best shows ever, but it's limping out like jordan on the wizards.
That being said, it was a great scene, needed to happen, and had to happen that way. Letting jimmy slide would have been bs and, Nucky had to do it because Jimmy said to him in season one, "you can't be half a gangster, Nucky,"

At the time it made no sense, the show WAS Nucky and Jimmy! And Jimmy didn't betray Nucky alone – it was Eli who suggested it. I think people thought they'd be a constant power struggle between the two characters for years, so it came as a shock. It'd be like killing Rick on the Walking Dead! However, by killing Jimmy off they've turned him into an icon.

I had no problem with Nucky killing Jimmy. I felt that Jimmy had it coming due to his betrayal. I like the direction the show has gone in since, with Nucky's brother betrayal, the conflict between Chalky and Narcisse and the attempted hit by Richard on Narcisse as well. Can't wait to see what's done with the Al Capone now that Torrio handed over his operation to him. The series finale should be great, I hope, can't wait

I disagree. I thought the show got better. Jimmy was awesome and my favorite character, but a good show shouldn't rely on its star power – it should be well written and the writing never got bad.

the show never recovered.
