For the first time we get to see Harrow fully unleashed, and Huston doesn’t disappoint the audience as he brings a new level of intense focus and controlled rage to the already quietly intense character. One of the continuous highlights of the show, at least for me, has been Jack Huston (TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE), who plays Richard Harrow. Cannavale has consistently made Gyp’s madness look both amusing and terrifying, but when it finally peaks in this episode Cannavale gives a most unnerving presentation of just how unpredictable madness can truly be. Bobby Cannavale really goes all out playing Gyp Rosetti.
While BOARDWALK EMPIRE has a phenomenal ensemble cast, there were some particularly outstanding performances in the season finale. In addition to the technical side, the performances are equally impressive in this final episode.

Composing this story is Director Timothy Van Patten (Just about every major HBO series in recent memory) and his vast experience with BOARDWALK EMPIRE as well as HBO certainly shows, as he easily creates the intensity, intrigue, and emotion that all run high through the finale. making the lead into an underdog and then putting him back on top of the dog pile, but writer Terence Winter (THE SOPRANOS) once again proves he is a master of the format by how he manages to wrap up and bring together so many varied subplots and tendrils in a single episode. Now this is a story and pattern long used in television, i.e. Whether you think Enoch Thompson is a good guy or a bad guy, fans of BOARDWALK EMPIRE can’t help but root for him as such, season 3 has been extremely frustrating as for every step forward there have been considerably more back. The episode mainly centers around this conflict, but what makes this finale so brilliant is how a wide spectrum of unrelated or loosely related subplots from throughout the season are seamlessly brought together to give the audience a fantastic and rewarding end to the season. The episode opens hot and heavy with a series of gangland hits as Thompson, backed by Al Capone (Stephen Graham SNATCH) and Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams HBO’s THE WIRE), battles it out with Rosetti, who is backed by Joe Masseria. WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD (or MAJOR if you haven’t watched any of Season 3)Īfter an entire season of being on the ropes, crescendoing in episode 11 with Gyp Rosetti’s (Bobby Cannavale TV’s NURSE JACKIE) coup of Atlantic City, Enoch ’Nucky’ Thompson (Steve Buscemi FARGO) finally claws his way back to the top in the third season’s finale of BOARDWALK EMPIRE and the payoff is certainly worth the long wait.
