Boardwalk Empire Season 5 (Spoilers)

Finally got around to this one; finished it today...

I will say a ton of positive things about this show. This had the best pilot episode I've ever seen and Seasons 1 and 2 were just fantastic. Similar to Dexter, it got a little formulaic in 3 & 4 but well made enough that the final season would make everyone forget the slight-sloppiness of the two previous seasons.

I feel like a huge mistake was made with this show. I figured there would be a time jump, but they jumped to one of the most boring parts of prohibition. It might've needed another season, but 3 huge events happened irl during the time jump and could've easily fit into a single season

November 6, 1928- Assassination of Arnold Rothstein
February 14, 1929- St. Valentines Day Massacre
May 13, 1929- Atlantic City Conference
October, 1929- Great Depression begins

I just don't know how you make a show about Nucky Johnson, Al Capone, and Arnold Rothstein and not include at least the first three events. All were so relevant to the plot as well, they wouldn't have been shoehorned in.

Idk, the last season is still well-made but a disappointment. The ending made it clear they cared nothing to the historical events of Nucky Johnson, so why not end it earlier in 1929/1930?
