He died when he was horribly wounded in Europe. Yes, he came back from the war, yes, he re-started a life, and yet in many ways he was already dead. In some ways, Richard was like one of the revenants from The Returned. It was cruel, not just that he died but when, just as he seemed finally on the verge of putting together some version of the life he’d pasted together in his scrapbook.īut it also felt right. As with Jimmy’s death, I can imagine this being a breaking point for some fans, the show killing off possibly its most sympathetic, decent and–strange as it may seem to say about a multiple killer–sweet character. Last night, time was up for poor Richard Harrow. When your time was up, it was up, regardless of the talent of the actor or the affections of the fans.

At the end of season 2, the show killed off its second lead (or arguably co-protagonist) Jimmy Darmody whether or not there were off-screen factors in the decision, it made it as clear as a bullet to the face that the usual rules of TV invincibility did not apply here. So it’s the fictional and fictionalized characters at the center of the story who pay the ultimate price. (Johnny Torrio’s surviving the hit that seemed to kill him suggests it’s not.) Its Capones and Rothsteins, whose dates and means of death are in Wikipedia for all to see, can’t die unless the show were suddenly to become speculative alternative history. There are limits on on the mortality in Boardwalk Empire that Thrones doesn’t have to deal with, of course. And although Boardwalk Empire organizes its individual seasons around discrete arcs, it also seems to be biding its time and playing a long, long long narrative game about a war for power among families.Īnd then, as “Farewell Daddy Blues” made achingly clear: it kills people you’d think were not supposed to die. (The show could just as well open with a map showing little clockwork towers of booze and guns rising from Chicago, New York, Florida, and Atlantic City.) There’s the wide range of characters, which the show is unafraid to keep separated by distance and story Al Capone and Van Alden are off in their own Illinois world, connected to but distanced from the rest of the events, like Jorah and the Khaleesi across the Narrow Sea. The natural comparison for Boardwalk Empire is to other mob- and crime-based dramas like The Sopranos, but watching the season 4 finale, I realized that it actually has a lot in common with Game of Thrones.

This new report states that the decision to distance Pitt from the series was due to his tardiness, attitude and inability to perform.
According to a former crewmember of the show, the actor that played Jimmy, Michael Pitt, was kind of a jerk! At the time, the show was praised for making such a crazy decision by killing off a fan favorite, but perhaps the reason he was written off had to do with what was going on behind the cameras. HBO's hit series Boardwalk Empire is known for its thrilling storylines that usually lead to the death of some big characters, but when Jimmy Darmody died in the season two finale fans were blown away.
