Because Richard Harrow deserves a spot on every fucking forum on the internet.

I got my parents watching this last week. They started on the first episode and are already halfway into season 2. They bought both seasons for my brother in law, and went under the tree and stole his presents back. I asked my mom, "what are you thinking?" and her reply was "fuck him. I'll buy him a shirt. This show is too damn good".

Going to be so depressing with out this on, really looked forward to Sunday nights between this and Walking Dead. I'm very rarely care about what happens to a character even in shows that I like, but Richard Harrow gets to me, he feels real and I just want him to have his damn dream of a family and maybe kick some ass on the way.

Best season so far - enjoyed this season of Boardwalk more than GoT season 2. Hope BW can keep up the pace for a least 2 more seasons. Would hate for this show to go out Deadwood style.

Did I miss an explanation for why the super rich guy who owned the brewery would screw over Rothstein for Nucky?

Get off the fence... The story is awesome, the characters are awesome, the writing is awesome. There is a lot of violence, a lot of "holy shits," and every scene has a lot of meaning. You can tell they actually put time into thinking about the dialogue for each and every scene. It's about the bootlegging whiskey in the prohibition era. There are a lot of well-known mobsters from that era in the show as characters... Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Enoch Thompson

Wife and I breezed through Season 1 & 2 and then caught up on Season 3 to watch the last 4 episodes live. Great fucking show. Can't believe we weren't watching it before. I'd have to say that Season 3 was insane all the way to the end. I'm not sure why Nucky would betray Rothstein. Maybe it is because he turned his back on Nucky and then extorted something out of him for personal gain? He said he wouldn't forget. Rothstein is an opportunistic fuck who has no backbone. Should make for a good lead into Season 4.

Why do you say Rothstein has no backbone? I never seen his character as weak. Nucky betrayed Rothstein because Rothstein pulling away made everything much more likely to fuck him over until Capone showed up.

He isn't weak, he just has no loyalties outside of business. I believe that Nucky was genuinely his friend, and he left him out to dry. I think his flexible nature will lead to his undoing here in the near future.

I see a series of unfortunate events in store for Rothstein as well. Him setting up Lucky and abandoning Nucky were two moves he shouldn't have made.

I cheated and read the actual history behind Rothstein, so I already have a pretty good idea what is going to happen. Still, it will be awesome to see.
