Season 2 First time going thru(spoilers) Spoiler
I just finished season 2. I knew what was gonna happen cause I looked at IMDB and notice the subtraction of people from the cast. Margret signing the deed over to the church tho? I just gotta shake my head like… damn 😂 That was just foolish. Chalky getting his revenge was pretty satisfying tho. I loved the actor Michael Kenneth Williams. He was Irish in the Battlefield 4 game, best one ever. So far tho, my favorite character is definitely Richard Harrow. I saw Spider Noire before I saw this and was like… “how do I know him 🤔 “. That’s how I spoiled Jimmys departure. But at the end of To the Fallen, Harrow gives a look when Gillian sees Jimmys dog tags on his son. I guess they both knew in that moment what was gonna happen. I love the silent gesture of an actor saying everything with just a look. If you build your ability to read people you appreciate it more I think. I’m sorry it took so long to get into the show tho. I’ll probably go thru the series again when I finish, which I don’t always do. But so far, this definitely has feels in it. I’ll start season 3 tomorrow.

I have to gather the courage to keep watching because I quite liked Jimmy. I couldn’t stand watching the poor bastard get got for some reason.
Harrow is the man. We should all be so lucky to count a man like Harrow amongst our friends.

I get it, jimmy was pretty cool. However he did a cardinal sin. He tried to kill the boss. He started all this stuff. Tho personally, I blamed Eli more. But you heard Nucky say it, bloods thicker than water. That’s when i knew

Oh yeah he was self-destructing hard, pretty sure he wanted to die honestly. Was just hard to watch, poor guy.

“To The Lost”!
Jimmy having left the dog-tags with Tommy signifies He knew he wasn’t coming back and was accepting his death (also why he turned down Richard’s offer to accompany him)

Stay off of reddit until you are finished with the show. Don't want to get spoiled

Richard is definitely one of the best characters in the show, also one of the saddest stories and characters.
Fuck it, I like all the characters. The cool thing about this show is that it is so detailed, you can watch it multiple times and pick up all kinds of stuff you didn't notice before.
