Just started this show about a week ago. Am only a few episodes in but I am really enjoying it thus far. Please tell me it stays this good and doesn't fizzle out.

Most think that the final season was weaker than the previous ones. I'd say that both S4 and S5 were weaker than the first 3, but not drastically so and still very enjoyable. S2 and S3 are the peak. Great series.

Solid show that’s definitely worth finishing, I wasn’t thrilled with the ending but that’s just my opinion.

Some will say it fizzles, I liked all of it and I think it ages well. They need to redo it but post commission being set up. Vincent Piazza or whatever and the guy playing Capone are the best casting I have seen of those characters.

It’s just a bit rushed at the end because of some things that happened off screen (casting changes) and being forced to end its run when it did. Still very good show.

It's a great series but the last season was rushed because they killed the series.

It stays good through the whole thing. Was actually thinking about starting again soon.

Absolutely. I loved whenever the show worked in storylines of historical figures like Luciano, Lansky, Capone, and Rothstein (whom Michael Stuhlbarg portrays incredibly).

Seasons 1 and 2 are really good, Season 3 is some of the best tv ever, 4 is good but dips a bit after the greatness of 3, then the final season is dogshit (got cancelled and they had to cut it short)

Thank you. I'm glad someone said it.

All the other seasons are great, making the final season that much more disappointing.

I thought that the show was great. But I feel like it would have been even better without Kelly Macdonald's character in the cast.

Just about any scene or storyline involving her character was really boring.

I thought Michael Shannon's Van Alden was great as well. Excellent show all around.
