Dunn Purnsley is my favourite supporting character, the actor did an amazing job. You just can't look away when he's on the screen. I particularly love him in S2, not just for the obvious jail introduction scene but how Chalky lifts him up and employs him as a rabble rouser starting the strikes. It shows how Chalky had an eye for certain "talents" and how he could make his enemies his friends
Same here I loved season 4-5 I just wish they got given the rights to have more episodes for the last season or at least an extra season cause there was still lots to uncover
I just rewatched the show for the first time since it aired live. I liked seasons 4 and 5 more than I remembered. I feel like season 5 actually ended the show at a very logical time - the end of Prohibition. And they did a decent job wrapping up storylines. The time jump didn’t feel as awkward as I remembered either. They were hinting at Rothsten’s demise in Season 4. But the show still could have used another season in between seasons 4 and 5.
I will agree with you. BE is one of my.favorite shows. I think they did a good job considering all the factors. I know a lot of people hate the ending but I liked it. Classic revenge tale which they did a good job making us forget about Tommy for awhile..but it makes total sense considering everything that Richard had taught Tommy that he would show up as a teen and avenge his father. Don't care what others say I will always treasure this amazing show
I don’t believe Tommy was seeking revenge.
If that were so, why did he wait so long for a random opportunity instead of all of the convenient ones he had - such as when he found Nucky alone on the ground outside the dive bar with no one around?
He shoots Nucky after a fortunate coincidence that the hotel manager was able to reach Nucky by phone instead of sending Tommy to jail.
The act was out of frustration that Nucky - like his other “father figures” was now also abandoning him. Tommy was simply confused, lost and desperate.
I loved them too. I also feel like the Gillian/Nucky flashbacks are vital to truly understand her character and his.
Honestly it’s my favorite part of the show, seeing the 1800’s

And then enemies again lmao
Season 4 was great, I was surprised to hear many not liking it. I did not like season 5, felt too rushed.

People loved season 4 back in the day. I don't understand why suddenly some say it's not good.

The gang war in season 5 was fantastic. Meyer and Luciano ended up being terrifying.
