They Ruined It

We struggled through the slow pace of the extensive character development that was the first season of Boardwalk Empire.  It was worth it.  The second season of Boardwalk Empire was fantastic.  However, they ruined it with the final episode of season two.  It was a deal breaker for me, and I will not be tuning in for the third season.

First, I can't believe what happened to Jimmy.

Second, I don't believe if Margaret Schroeder were a real person (not a fictional character) she would sign over her wealth to the church.  That just seemed a bit much.

I think this is why I don't watch much television.  I don't like getting invested in characters and then the writers messing them up.
