Enjoyable season so far and overall a very good show. What keeps it from being a great show in my opinion however, is that Nucky is not a character that people really care about. Tony Soprano, Walter White, Al Swearengen, etc., these are all characters that viewers cheer for and become anxious when they fall into harm's way. Last season was the closest that Nucky came to death and I realized that I didn't really care about him. Some of the secondary characters are excellent, the plot is well crafted, the production value is second to none, it just falls short with Steve Buscemi, who is not a leading man.
