The show lost a lot once the charismatic presence of Michael Pitt left the show.

I enjoyed this season, agree that the first 3 seasons are strongest ...

The casting of Young Nucky was particularly brilliant. And seeing the moment Nucky sold his soul was pretty powerful (especially considering the way that was set up... that Jillian was not just a random girl he brought to the commodore, but actually a girl who had stayed in his home, bonded with his wife, and received his promise of protection).

It also explains a little more about why they spent so much time with Jillian's storyline... since it was so critical to Nucky's story.

I liked the Capone capper (the scene with his son was pretty cool, and I enjoyed the headshots of Capone putting on his mask for the reporters).
