I was sad to hear that the upcoming fifth season of Boardwalk Empire is also going to be its last. It's a show I've watched since the beginning and even though it seemed to lose buzz with every season, that was always a mystery to me since it's remained remarkably consistent in quality. But now, the final 8-episode arc will premiere on Sept 7th and big changes will already be in place, because we're jumping about seven years into the future to 1931. Prohibition will soon be coming to an end, along with Nucky's empire (and certain historical figures that have been on the show as regulars are supposed to be dead by now too- which means so long to Michael Stuhlbarg's Arnold Rothstein). Most of the cast does look to be returning though, so I look forward to finishing it out.
