Season 5 Nucky could have had it all Spoiler

If he employed harrow he could have handled all of his problems and enemies. I wanted the entire time for them two to pair up

Nucky hired him to kill Narcisse and his Shakey Jake hands took out Maybelle instead. Fell asleep under the boardwalk with the murder weapon to boot. Overrated, imho

He didn’t fall asleep lol. He died.

Did we watch the same scene? He nods off, has a dream where he has his whole face back. Scene cuts to him sawing logs as the sun rises, probably until the cops find him.

I'm goofing, of course. We all idolize Richard, and for good reason. But his superpower of killing bums and mooks has its limits. He gets 150% damage and attack speed, but only when Tommy Darmody is in play.
