I'm enjoying this final season, always compelling stuff although I do find it strange they wait til now for these flashbacks. Having said that....they usually deliver on tying everything up come the end.
Interesting to see the likes of Elliott Ness and Joe Kennedy coming into it too. I did find the Chalky scenes all a bit clichéd mind, black criminals threatening white women...
Anyway, looking forward to final 4 episodes. But I can't help view this show as a missed opportunity. A good but not truly great show - never quite hitting the heights of Sopranos or The Wire IMO. The lives of Luciano and Lansky (plus Bugsy Siegel) could've been an amazing story all by themselves, just feel they've been short changed over 5 seasons.

Tried to get into it but gave up on it after series 2. Think the having to wait between episodes had something to do with it though so might give the boxset a bash.

Al Capone shows up and the show instantly improves, would love them to do a spin off show showing his rise during the 7 year gap between season 4 & 5....so much history to cover there
tbh i think the major problem (apart from the flashbacks) is that season 5 has a huge Richard size hole in it.....he was by far my fav character

The final season is definitely picking up now, I absolutely love this show to be honest. Agree about the Richard sized hole, he was a brilliant character.
I don't mind the flashbacks but I don't think they were needed. I'm looking forward to how they bring everything together at the end.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

That'll be that then. Season 5 improved as it went imo and the end brought a few things together quite well. Could have been worse
