That episode was insane last night. Might be one of the best episodes of any show that I've ever seen.

Wire is 100000 times better.

This first episode was great. Poor Nelson.

The show is based on things that happened but its definitely an exaggerated version of things. For example the real Enoch wasnt like this. Same with some of these details with guys like Luciano and Capone if you read about them.
Some things in history are so well known, it makes me wonder if they will actually happen on the show since that would make it predictable.
From wikipedia: "Gangland legend has it that Masseria dined with Charles "Lucky" Luciano before his death.[4] While they played cards, Luciano excused himself to the bathroom, when Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis rushed in and shot Masseria to death"
So would they do this on the show? Its so predictable so I dont know. They might change it.

as i always wait for all the episodes from the season to come out and then watch it properly - when i want, my impressions come very late:
AWESOMENESS !!!
what a slow builder this show, first season - fine, cool, good...second season - fuck, this is good...third season - well it just can't be better...i hope they continue in this rhytm...Capone is starting his domination, the base is there, and the show will I guess be awesome! now they have high expectations from the fans...hope they don't fuck up something...thumbs up! and now wait for Game of Thrones...fun times ahead!

The real Nucky was known for bootlegging and all that, but all this stuff on the show with him being in bed with various gangsters isnt fully known, obviously he kept all of that a secret so the show just embelishes all of that just to make a more interesting show.
Some of its probably true, but we dont really know how involved he was with guys like Luciano like the show suggests.

Who was the guy who stabbed Gyp in the back?
Howe ironic that Gyp died that way.
Did they say how much the guy was paid to kill Gyp?Rothstein is fucked episode 1 next season. Haah haah

Capone's son really was deaf and only died a few years ago
- Ah didnt know that, thanks. I figured thats not something they would just make up for the show.CygnusZero4
- Just never got around to looking into it.CygnusZero4

Seems like Rosseti, the new Sicilian, is gonna do something stupid real soon.
- I was waiting for him to steal that box of gold.instrmntl
- Lol yeah I thought he wasnt leaving without that, but it was probably empty by then.CygnusZero4

I see people on facebook constantly bitching about Jimmy being gone. I dont even miss him. He was great for the first 2 seasons but his story ran its course, he made mistakes and paid for it.
I think great shows find a way to move on and they're introducing new characters so I dont even miss Jimmy at all. On FB its mostly the women that were smitten by him. >____>
- yup. with this time period life expectancy wasnt long.teh
- I miss him. I'm not a woman or smitten by him though, haha. >smrz
- < I feel like Nucky was tricked to easily by Eli into setting up Jimmy, that his death felt cheap to me. That's why I can't get over itsmrz
- His death was due to his quest for power. He was trying to overthrow Nucky.CygnusZero4
- He first said to nucky you cant be half a gangster, and that was ultimately was ended up killing him.CygnusZero4
- pretty much agreed, but I just didn't like the way it went down. thought Nucky actually looked weak in the processsmrz
- I believe that Jimmy's character wasn't on a 'Quest for Power'. I think the writers had him with a death wish after all that's happened to him.orrinward2
- happened to him.orrinward2

They definitely took their time getting to the rise of Capone and Luciano. I think with such well known names people were expecting that to happen earlier, but Im guessing thats really the ultimate climax of the show, and will end either next season or the following with those 2 playing a big role in the build up to the series finale.

I think this show has gotten too far away from what I loved about the first 2 seasons, back when it was really just atlantic city, booze and gangsters. It seems like it climaxed with Jimmy getting killed, and after that its too much politics, cuba, real estate, dull subplots, waited way too long to get to the rise of capone and luciano which feel like afterthoughts.
Season 3 was ok, last season I thought was mostly terrible. I just feel like they lost their focus, or maybe didnt expect the show to last this long so theyre making up stories along the way. Ill still miss it though. Some great shit in the first couple seasons.
