I am glued to the TV while an episode is on, but there is so much depravity and no redeeming characters. Is the writing, editing, direction, acting excellent? Yes, very much so. But even in season 3, most of the characters are still just evil.
I also like the rothstein guy. He is excellent. Also the chalkie guy.

They are the most principled amongst the unprincipled :) ;)
Oh yeah, everyone goes to extremes in season 3. Nucky is just a full one jerk 98% of the time. The acting is excellent. You can go from feeling sympathy for someone and then two scenes laters being disgusted by that same person. The best example I can think of is when Gretchen Mol told the story of how the Commodore raped her when she was 12 or 13 years old. Then two episodes later we were all like, “Oh Jimmy, NOOOOOOOO! That’s your mom!!!”
I like Chalkie, too. No one does a slow burn better then that guy. The guy who plays Dun Purnsley is such a ham I’d be surprised if he didn’t sneeze bacon.
The actor who plays Eli was great this past season. His character was so different from the first two seasons, but in a believable way. He really seemed like someone who went to jail and became more reflective.
Richard is still my favorite character though. I just about died the first time I heard him speak with is actual voice. He’s British and the grandson of John Huston and nephew of Anjelica.
I like both of them too. Chalky especially had some great scenes in season 2. The one in the jail cell with David Copperfield was brilliant.
