Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Fifth Season [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]

Well, I can't tell how Great an HBO show is, This is the Disc version. What I can tell you is Best Buy had the complete Fifth season, the final season my Mom and I missed do to a secondary stroke that put her in a health care facility. She recovered mentally however it left paralized on her left side. O-kay, here's the deal, Ya' ever been shopping only to find out you have to get it online anyway, either because out if stock or too pricey. My mum is running out of time so to delay any enjoyment wasn't an option for me, any longer. She went into care right after her 96 birthday. We both missed the final season. I have just purchased a few items at Best Buy. So, I checked out if they happened to have the Final Season of "BOARDWALK EMPIRE." And sure enough, brought the last 3 disc collection going straight to Mum's home right after. It's a 3 disc, eight episode season. We watched the first three episodes and will continue to finish when I go back to visit. What a joy to finish what you start. Thank you, Best Buy

I've been a fan of the series ever since I caught the premiere and followed it ever since. It's a shame that the series came to an end at Season 5 because they could've went even further. The only disappointing thing about this season was that because it was shortened to 8 episodes, instead of the usual 12, they didn't show the murder of Arnold Rothstein, they didn't show the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and in the end, everything seemed rushed as they had to cram everything in 8 episodes. But nonetheless, I loved the show, I loved the acting and this series is constantly in my rotation of shows I watch repeatedly on Blu-Ray.

Final Season of the series, still has all the makings of a HBO masterpiece. Pros: -Balanced action, story and characters. -An ending well fitting to the story Cons: -2 episodes shorter than the previous seasons For anyone who has seen Game of Thrones and wants something different but the same, Check Out "Boardwalk Empire", 1920's galore!

This is the conclusion of the Boardwalk Empire, a great series and experience. Far more fiction than fact, never the less, it gave a great feel for the era and offered incredible performances. More than one surprise awaits you in this show. My only criticism is that in the last season they didn't really offer much, as compared to other seasons, of special features and that they left the DVD out of the BlueRay/Digital combo, as it had been included in the previous season combo sets. On sale, it would be a worthwhile buy.

In the fifth installment of Boardwalk Empire all of the regular characters continue to bring their A game to this amazing series. Highlighted character Al Capone shows his grit and determination to reign as number one Chicago bad guy. The orchestrated "wars" were nothing short of thrilling. If this is the series finale I would say they wrapped things up nicely, but sure hope there is more coming, as so much more material could be covered. A winning cast, a winning directorial team, and just a wonderful bit of "lore" to be covered!!

Through 5 seasons, Boardwalk Empire was a compelling, fictionalized look back at one of the most turbulent times in American history. An amazing cast & story, the last season wrapped things up in encapsulating the life of Nucky Thompson and how his life shaped his choices and the consequences of those choices. Highly recommend this series!

Boardwalk Empire's final season may not be as action packed as its predecessors, but it ends all the characters' stories on a satisfying note. That's a rare find when it comes to series finales.

I enjoyed the series very much. This was a good ending to a show I enjoyed watching. Loved the shoes. Characters were some strange people with lots of personal problems but it is just pretend. Liked it
