I still have 4 episodes to go but I'm really glad the producers kept it at 5 seasons instead of going for 6.

The Jillian story lines went stale this season and Margaret's went stale 2 seasons ago. Van Alden was grossly under-used and the show never showcased his broke bad moment which was a huge miss to me. The ending to Van Alden is very underwhelming to me. Together with Harris, they are the two most fascinating characters of the show. And that thing between Van Alden's wife and Eli's confusing and improbable as hell.

Dr. Narciss's motivation was confusing and not convincing. Wraping this up and make this show the rise and fall of Nucky was the one good thing that salvaged this show. That and a short 8 episode season were wise choices from the producers.
