Been seeing more and more commercials... Kicks off on Sept 16th. I am going to have to watch a few
of the last episodes from last season to refresh myself on what was going on.

I had not seen one second of this show until last Saturday. The GF and I banged out season one over two days. Plan on watching season two very soon. Good stuff!

I'll watch season 3, but imo this show took a huge dropoff from season 1 to season 2.

The demise of Jimmy Darmody was an incredibly disappointing turn-of-events. The incest subplot was also kind of uninteresting, especially since it was used as a way to avoid fully engaging with the psychological effect of fighting in WWI.

I thought season 2 was a big improvement on season 1. The storylines seemed much more tightly constructed and there was a lot more time spent on character development. Also appreciated the decline in a lot of the largely pointless "Look how different the 1920s were!" moments.

Season 2 was...alright. Definitely not better than season 1, I'm hoping S3 is a bit more fun and a bit less disturbing.

I thought season 2 was really good. Jimmy getting taken out by Nucky gave the season a good twist. But Darmody had to go. Cant wait to see what happens in 3. Im guessing we'll see more and more of the Chicago mob with Capone quickly rising in the ranks last season

I guess season two will end with a wimper since I already know Jimmy dies and the whole incest thing. Stupid WarmingGlow!

Not upset at all. I don't know the reason behind Jimmy's death (don't tell me by bullet), so that's still an unknown. Starting season two with my burnt-boobed GF tonight.

Bump.... Premieres this Sunday evening so either tune in or set your DVR this week.
I have caught a few episodes from last season on reruns over the weekend and I am
ready to get back into this series.

I'll watch since there isn't much else even watchable on tv. But I didn't think S2 was that good. Harrow is still around, though, and he's awesome.

I started to lose interest last season. I also thought the second season took a step down. That said, most of the shows I love peaked in the third season. They advanced the characters last year, and this season should seem more like a show about mob life. My official prediction, which means nothing and is completely subjective, is that this season will be the best.

Pretty solid start to the season. Capone will definitely be written in more. I like adding more of the
Chicago storyline obviously. Mr Richard Harrow continues to rock. I will be interested in which direction
he goes. I can't see him staying where he is at living with Jimmy's mom and acting as wet nurse, although
he obviously loves the little boy.

It was your standard opening. I'm still excited about the direction I see the show going. We watched the season one and two recaps before watching the opener, which helped.

Yeah, over the weekend I watched the last two episodes from last season to get refreshed on what was going
on. You are right, pretty standard opener. A few new characters and plot lines.

As I said previously, I really drifted at the end of last season. When we were watching the recaps, my wife was surprised I didn't remember many of the storylines. She apparently forgot for a moment I'm a moron, but I was also not particularly interested.

I think the low point of the night was when I started speaking in Richard voice, and said "Ehh, I'd, mmmm, watch Grandma, eh...like a hawk..........especially, around your downstairs business during a bath....mmmmm."

In all seriousness, I think Richard is going to put one in Grandma's head this season, and I don't think it's going to be his wang.

That dancer chick at the end was kind of cute but didn't have whole lot up top.

If you are going to get taken out of the series you may as well get your face blown off by another guy with
only half a face.... Judging by next week's previews the Italian with the short fuse is going to cause some
sizeable waves this season.

Looked like the whole room was intimidated by dude...he insulted them all and they took it...Thinking Nucky puts Richard on the payroll.

No way Richard goes back to Nucky. I think he'll end up aligned with Rosetti and Gillian.

Hmmm possible...Richard knew that JD was getting taken out..he told him that Nucky would never forgive him. Good to see Richard not get phased out either way..good character.

I saw, but I'd think that was more a ruse than reality.

I don't think he'd work for the guy after he killed his only friend.

Is that Richard Harrow, or Teary Boers?
