I hope that isn't true, I hate things like that. I only recently got around to finishing Boardwalk Empire, and that had a bullshit twist like that at the end too
I thought the end of Boardwalk Empire was appropriate for how Nucky lived his life. He had been through the ringer in his world, he was also a stone cold killer, had a hard growing up knew what he wanted and got it, so I don't think his aftermath his story, should have been to live peacefully on his earnings, what happened was pretty normal for gangsters. And believe me Nucky Thomson (Johnson the real one) was a gangster alright.
But I always barracked for him, as we do for Gangsters, ha ha . That show I loved the opening sequence with the empties floating in and the sea washing over his nice shoes, no damage but!
Loved the guitar, and the theme music brilliant. I reckon one of the best of the Big Gun shows of the last 15 to 20 years!
