    <p>Finally I have got around to watching <strong>Boardwalk Empire</strong>. First episode switched between flashbacks to Nucky as a kid and seeing "what made the man", Nucky in Cuba anticipating the end of the Bolstead Act (Prohobition) and Roosevelts election, Chalky in a prison gang, Luciano joining a "new family" and Nucky's ex Margaret in a New York stockbrokers firm and the subsequent fall out from the depression.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Kept me interested enough to watch the next episodes</p>

    <p>you should definitely watch the whole Season 4. It's great and pretty much stands on its own as a story. 2 and 3 have their good bits, but a lot of silly stuff (teenage drama??) inbetween.</p>
    <p>Though it would have been a bit better to watch from Ep 1 onwards instead of from where you are and now from 1 ;)</p>

    <p>I got the feeling at the end of series 1 it was going to go the way of lost and probably bore the hell out of me with crap about Brodie and Carrie trying to make their relationship work. I meant to watch season 4 from the start because I heard Brodie had taken a dirt nap and Carrie was going to Pakistan. Might watch it from the start if the rest is as good as that episode, not interested in 2 and 3 though.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Does anyone watch that show with the navy ship full of survivors of a plague and is it worth a look ?</p>

    <p>I think that the best way to think about Season 4 is a cross between some of the character stuff of season 1 and 24 (the show). If that sounds like you then you should love it. No need to watch 2 and 3 - in fact in my head I can't even differentiate between 2 & 3.</p>

    SOA finale...very ending, not surprising if you have paid attention, even if a bit cowardly, but execution? Did they give to a standard 3 rural school with no internet connection to complete? <br><br>
    All in all, probably happier than I was with Dexter finale, which I rate as highly (my top ten ever, both pushing top five) even if I woulda done it differently, which is probably why Sutter has made a few dollars from TV series vs my $0....

    Still, who the fuck is the hobo lady and what the fuck was that scene all about? It made no sense despite her many appearances.

    <p>I've been happy with a bunch of finales from shows in or near my top 10. I liked the Lost final season, I really liked The Shield's final season and finale, I even thought Deadwood tied up enough to be an ending (I watched it late so knew that it was ending which may have influenced my thoughts), I liked the final season of The West Wing (in large part due to Nero too), I liked the final Sopranos. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>We must have slightly different tastes - SOA doesn't get near my top 10 and I've only watched two episodes of Dexter.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>By the way, they're releasing The Wire in HD (16:9), which might help you find it more watchable as it might not look so dated without the black bars on the side. :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Regarding the execution - I think what Sutter lacked this year was some boundaries, I think the final season could have been much better if they had a decent editor and the episodes came in around 40-50 minutes. It would have got rid of lots of the drag.</p>

    I was a tad drunk when I posted last night, reasonably coherent Though....<br><br>
    I tend to group tv rather than rank them;<br><br>
    Must watch ASAP then Really enjoy and will watch asap and then time fillers<br><br>
    Although the first 2 categories i have some that are finished, I guess the other thing about a show like SOA, I emjoy it, could probably leave it until the end and watch over a week, but so many people I know watch it and want to talk about it, and it is good to discuss theories and the like

    <p>Jax gave her that blanket in an earlier episode. It was also established that she is actually dead (having died as collateral damage when JT killed himself)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>When she gives him back the blanket she is saying she doesn't need to hang around any longer knowing that Jax has now got everything sorted. She's meant to be some kind of guardian angel.</p>

    <p>Some of my watch ASAP shows aren't shows that would be in my top rank. I generally watch Agents of Shield straight away yet it's just popcorn TV for me (I do like Chloe Bennett ...). I probably kept up with SOA because of this thread. Some shows I like watching in a row too so I'll leave them until I've got a whole season and then watch one a day.</p>

    <p>Have you read this or is it a theory? Did JT definitely commit suicide or is that still up in the air?</p>

    <p>I have other series that I watch, and enjoy (some more than others) but dont comment on here, some of them are hit and miss, then others I gave up on (like True Blood after season 2, Downton Abbey after S3 I think it was?) </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>SOA - I recall interaction with her in another episode/s, but didnt someone other than Jax also see her though??</p>
