The ending requires some pretty spectacular leaps in logic to get to the point where Tommy actually kills Nucky. It was very poorly set up, particularly since you could pretty much figure out right away that they didn't just throw in some random kid into the storyline, but they did nothing to actually explore the kid or give any background into how he got there. Literally he could have shown up in the finale and done it and it would have been the same. Poorly done IMO.
I'd also say it's really hard to give this show anything higher than a B+. Far too much wasted potential, show never seemed to have a clear vision outside season 1 and got a little too loose in the storytelling after Jimmy was killed. Lots of great characters, not enough great stories.
