wrapped a series re-watch last night. yeah there were some lulls (S3 i'm looking at you) and there were some things thrown against the wall that they never got back to (van alden's self-flagellation, etc.) but it was a much more satisfying watch when you were able to binge them, similar to the sopranos. you lose a lot of momentum when there are year-long gaps between seasons, especially in a show with so many characters. still kind of bummed that they jumped ahead so far for S5, as they skipped some historically significant events, and it was a bummer losing AR for S5 as i dug him, but the season-long flashbacks to how it all started were really well done. and well-cast - i mean holy shit does young nucky look and act like buscemi. a really great show. missing something like this now.
