In this Season there
are flashbacks to Nucky’s childhood staring in 1884. The time period is 1931 and Nucky is in Cuba. He’s attempting to set up networks for
shipping alcohol into the US after the Volstead Act is reversed. Nucky is partnering with a Senator but
he loses interest. Nucky is forced
to seek out a new line of support. Sally is conducting business in Cuba but rumors swirl about a
public uprising. Chalk comes to
Nucky hunting of Narcisse. Chalky
and Narcisse come to an agreement.
Nucky is at odds with Luciano.
The Feds have been tracking Al Capone.
This season is
different with the addition of insight into Nucky and Eli as children and their
parents. More background about
Chalky is also included. There is
still a LOT of violence so be prepared for that!! 4 1/2* ( I really liked this series)

Special Note: Enoch "Nucky" Thompson is based on the real person Enoch Lewis Johnson. He was born on January 20, 1883 in Galloway Township New Jersey. His parents were Irish-Americans Smith E. and Virginia. In 1886, Johnson's father became sheriff of Mays Landing New Jersey for three years. In 1905, Johnson became his father's under sheriff. In 1908 he was elected sheriff after his father's term ended. His power reached it's peak during prohibition because the law was not enforced in Atlantic City. The city was called the World's Playground and Johnson got a cut of any money from serving alcohol, running a brothel or gambling den. This was to ensure the establishments were not bothered by authorities.
