Boardwalk Empire Season Four 2013

     This season continues in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition Era between February 1924 and January 1925.  In February Nucky begins staying in his room in the Alabatross Hotel and he keeps away from the Boardwalk.  Harlem kingpin Valentine Narcisse pressures chalky White.  Nucky is setting up shop in Tampa and he meets bar owner Sally Wheet.  Margaret and the children have moved to Brooklyn.  Willie takes revenge on a fellow student and it goes badly.  Willie sticks to a false alibi and Nucky pays off the Philly DA.  Nucky and Margaret meet at Penn Station before he travels south to Florida.  Al Capone is still in raging grief over the death of his brother Frank.  Dunn tries to kill Chalky White.  Surprisingly, Richard asks Nucky for a job because he needs the money.   Margaret does an insider-deal for Rothstein in return for a new place to live with her children.  There is pressure on Eli to set up a meeting between the East Coast bosses in the network.  Chalky White and Nucky have a confrontation at gunpoint over Valentine Narcisse.

     This season is very good and it really makes you wonder what will happen in Season Five, the final season??  Some characters are eliminated and new ones are added.  There is still unrest between the bosses in the North and those in the South.  Also, there is a dust up between Chalky and Narcisse.  There has been more cooperation between Chalky and Nucky than between the bosses but sometimes they don’t see eye-to-eye either.  I was surprised about the outcome for Gillian Darmody, Chalky and his family, Richard, Torrio, Capone, Narcisse and Agent James Tolliver??  4 ½* (I really liked this series)
