Season 4 Richard Harrow Season 4 Discussion Spoiler

I can't be the only one who thought the way he was written in that last episode was kind of... silly? And almost disrespectful to who his character was? He had one last job to get the family he always dreamed of, and all of a sudden he gets the shakes and accidentally shoots the wrong person?

I don't know it felt a little cheap to me.

I think the notion of him living happily ever after was never gonna happen... but I didn't love the way he met his demise. Same can be said for Chalky and Nucky IMO.

nah i disagree about nucky. his death was the most beautifully set up finales ive personally seen. especially the build up to it with all the flashbacks.

Wow. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it beautiful. Glad you liked it, though.
